That Daicos kid has worked out alright.
Any danger the Rocca boys would nominate North as their club of choice, since Sav played 101 games for the Roos?
Let's hope this comes to fruition and they do end up in B&W.
Can you explain this one?
Yeah. A dynamite small forward with midfield potential.

Stephen only got one game under Mick.
- Forward
- 182cm
- Glenelg/South Australia
A quick and agile forward who is clean at ground level and in the air, Patterson has a great goal sense which makes him a serious threat inside the attacking arc. He kicked 28 goals from 13 games for Glenelg in the SANFL under-18s this year, highlighted by a haul of seven majors in a round 13 match against West Adelaide. Patterson was part of the South Australia under-18 squad but did not play a game for the title-winning side. He did feature for Team Docherty in the under-17 Futures game in September, though, kicking two goals from 10 touches. Patterson is the son of former Collingwood rover Stephen but is not father-son eligible given his dad played just 96 games in the black and white. Gabriel’s sister, Violet, plays for the Magpies’ AFLW side.
Gabriel Patterson (Glenelg/South Australia)
Forward | 182cm | 26/03/2008
Collingwood fans will be asking what could have been, with Patterson’s father Stephen falling four games short of rendering Gabriel father-son eligible to the Magpies. The Glenelg livewire boasts explosive speed and a keen eye for goal, as proven by his seven-goal haul against eventual SANFL Under 18 grand finalist, West Adelaide. Patterson is a serious threat at the fall of the ball and can take a mile when given an inch, putting him up there with the best of 2026. He was part of South Australia’s undefeated Under 18 squad this year without playing a game.
PROFILED: 2026 AFL Academy squad
The footballing calendar moves quickly and in the wake of this year's draft, eyes are already turning to the best of the 2026 crop.
Assume he’s better on his left than his old man was
