    Bonar is much more versatile than being a 3rd tall forward. It would suit him the most in the afl sytsem though due to his defensive pressure abilities. The game against St Kevins he played wing and on ball for the whole game. Not sure if that was normal as i didnt see enough this year as they...

    Bonar is also at haileybury. Public schools still hold a large number of potential draftees its just the best are usually offered an opportunity at a private school, not all of them take it but a lot do.

    Brayshaw family all went through haileybury, not scholarships. Constable same as above. Ross was a tennis player turn footy player who developed in the schools system. Kings and riorden started at year 7 and are not on scholarships. The other 6 started year 9/10 so you would expect them to be...

    6 of the 12 were there from year 7 so I doubt they were on scholarships. Half and half isnt a bad ratio.

    Haileybury with 6 expected to go in 1st/2nd round is a fair effort. 3 last year and 3 expected for next year as well, could be 12 drafted in 3 years.

    Just a quick note on davies-uniacke for you. He is actually pretty quick. His agility is right up there. In a game he dances in and out of packs with his quick feet. His size can be deceiving, yes he is a solid lad but his much more than a big inside mid. He is one of the best if not the best...

    Team Mgmt. An early crack at 2017 best 22

    I was having tippa play that defensive role. He will need to develop his 1v1 defending to warrant playing as a small defender. You cant just be an attacker in the defensive half.

    2017 Best 22

    Whitey offers more than duryea IMO. Im a fan of duryea and believe he will play a fair chunk of the season but if i had to pick a side for one game id be inclined to go the more versatile pacey whitecross.

    Team Mgmt. An early crack at 2017 best 22

    I completely forgot about myers TBH. I would also slot him into the side. Baguley i know very little of but not a big fan of what i have seen. Im a fan of gleesons just couldnt fit him into a role unless mcgrath went forward and gleeson to a wing hb role. Stanton i dont think will be a big...

    I cant see orourke improving much more than what he has already. Stewart has already gone past him IMO.

    2017 Best 22

    I went over the hawks list and gee they have a tonne of depth still with the young guys coming through. Im a big fan of stewart, lovell and hardwick and think they will play a few games this season but couldnt fit them into my best 22. Im not a fan of pittonet so went with big mac. The tall...

    Team Mgmt. An early crack at 2017 best 22

    Im not an essendon fan and dont know a heap about the lesser known players but im having a crack at all the teams for next season. This is what i have put together so far, any suggestions for changes. I was tossing up between dea and baguley in the BP. I have McGrath on the wing but the way...

    Delisted Josh Battle

    Huge get for saints. Played midfield all the way up until under 16's when stingrays and country pencilled him in as a key forward. He played midfield in haileyburys 1st XVIII as a year 9... anyone that knows school footy in vic knows that is a fair achievement. To me watching him play as a key...

    Toast Welcome to the SUNS - Jack Scrimshaw

    Tall version of wingard when played up forward. 2015 dominated up forward in the APS before injury. The way he moves is unrealistic for a bloke his height. His agility is that of a 175 small forward.
