Jack Leys named in SA Future squad


Used as an early guide to the talent considered for the 2026 SA U18 team, the SANFL U17 Futures program will include three weeks of training before culminating in a showcase match at Adelaide Oval on Hostplus SANFL League Grand Final day.

Players chosen will only join the SANFL U17 Futures program once their SANFL team has finished its 2025 campaign, with training set to begin on Monday September 1.

Plenty of familiar names are among the 39 U17s in the squad, including Central District utility Dougie Cochrane, South Adelaide’s Kodah Edwards and Glenelg’s Koby Moir.

As many as 16 ”bottom-age” prospects have also been named, including SA U16 MVP Hugo Semmler and SA U16 All Australians Harvey Chapman, Taj Garrett, Zemes Pilot and Kai Ivins.

The final SANFL U17 Futures team lists and guernsey numbers will be published on the SANFL website during Hostplus SANFL League Grand Final week.

Archie Daffy (Geelong College)
The son of Richmond best-and-fairest Nick Daffy has stood up in big games as a bottom-ager, the highlight a best-on-ground display with three goals and 20-plus disposals in Geelong College’s comeback win over Wesley. The explosive midfielder-forward is one for Richmond fans to keep tabs on over the next year.

Same height as Nank. The modern ruck needs to be mobile and take marks. Hitouts are a nice to have not a must have.
Do you think hes got the frame to fill out into a ruck?

He took a big clunk on Duursma lol

Not about height. He's a twig still

(I'd still take him and Roberts as Cat B rookies though)

What am I, a ****ing nutritionist? 🤔 🤣

Hard to say. Looks like hes put on a bit this year but that's not saying much, he was an absolute beanstalk last season. Think he played mostly as a key defender last year though.

If we can snag him as a rookie, why not?

Will be just our luck next year following an extensive review and swan is convinced lions won’t have any more f/s for some time that rather than a discount in matching bids , recipients will now pay double for the privilege of securing top rated talents ,,,,,which tbh I’ve been carping about for years

I hope so. I’m not fussed if we don’t get a free hit next year if they end all this bullshit. The draft just doesn’t work when you’re getting a team like Brisbane get 3 1st picks in a row. Or Gold Coast getting 3 top 20 picks for what looks like 3 years straight. A team like North with a solitary first round pick can’t hope to rebuild without extensive concessions.

should scale for where you finish on the ladder. premiers getting top picks for peanuts has to go.
 
They felt like a must have this season. Nank losing them every week has compounded our midfields woes.
He's 8th in the league for hitouts and gets more hitouts to advantage than Xerri.

Hitouts are one of the most over rated stats in footy.
