List Mgmt. 2019 Draft Mega Thread - Pickett is not eligible as F/S or NGA

[philthy05]

These NGA are just the latest mechanism to give Vic clubs a leg up, only for the rules to be neutered for SA and WA clubs whenever they look like benefiting from them.

Seen it all before with priority picks and father sons. Pathetic pandering to Eddie and co from AFL house.

Yeah there was talk on the main board that there is less identifying and recruiting of people from different backgrounds and more research going on into already playing kids as to whether they might be eligible.

Basically youth footy in Vic is a never ending episode of ‘where do you think you come from’

If only he was born in Egypt.

C'mon - you know well that the Middle East and surrounding regions is a Crowzone™ ever since James Sellar lit up that pre-season game in Dubai.

 

[TeeKray]

The NGA is simply a discrimination tool in a multicultural country like this. You're foreign enough, you're not foreign enough, you're foreign enough. It's nothing more than self serving, racist bullshit.

The ideal behind it is great if you believe that is their intention

To give people who might not have the opportunity or connection to football access to high level coaching.

From what I know it’s fairly safe to say that if not for port Kai Pudney wouldn’t be on an afl list

We all have questions whether the afls intentions are true. Especially when the AFL shrugs their shoulders over the Borlase bullshit

 

[philthy05]

Believe Dylan Stephens has been called up to Norwood’s league side after his 36d 12 clr game last week if anyone is watching that game he will be worth looking out for.

Mead is playing reserves.

Looks like Pickett has been called up to league

 

[Arthur Dunger]

Do we have any NGA players that we can actually have first dibs on that are available this season?

Zero that I’ve heard of.

Realistically because we need indigenous aussies from country zones or people who were born overseas it’s not going to happen every year

The amount of sa players currently in the afl that would fit that description is probably countable on one hand.

 

[Macca19]

We would have players in our nga this year but obviously none worth a mention

Under 18’s

Will day - 26d

Finlay - 15d

Borlase - 10d (pretty sure he is around 15/16 yrs old so good to see he’s playing under 18’s already)

Under 16’s

Jase Burgoyne had a 28d 4clr game for wwt so that’s exciting for the future.

He's the one. Much more likely to make it than Trent.

You know how tall he is? Going to be taller than Trent ?

Not sure at this stage... Pretty similar I'd say.

Will Gould 24 disposals, 10 Marks, 6 tackles for Glenelg v South yesterday.

 

[philthy05]

Yep. Stephens has 15d for norwood

Taheny 24d and a goal for Norwood ressies.

Think mead had something like 20d and a goal for wwt reserves

I’ve only watched 10mins of Gould here and 5 mins there as it’s about all of Glenelg I can bare to watch but you would have to think that if the sanfl has a team of the year that he has a shot of making it which is remarkable

I still think people are asking the wrong question when they ask if he can defend key forwards, the question should be can he defend smalls and mediums

Ie can teams expose him on miss-matches in their forward lines.

Stephens maybe reminds me a little of a young jack Trengove. Maybe not the right comparison but the best one I can think of.

Ffs Norwood and wwt pick taheny and mead in league so I can watch their games

Durdin and Thilthorpe are 2020 draft

 

[Macca19]

Magor another big game. Really want to see what he does at a higher level

 

[Macca19]

Gould is looking pretty special. He's a bloody good runner for a guy of his bulk. Maybe he can do a Jonas type role at AFL level and take some medium/small forwards as well as some taller types.

Except he can kick. Not as consistent but the way he can punch the ball 55m low and quick is a bit Hurn like.

He’ll be gone well before our first pick I suspect.

And in an afl system he will get stronger while slimming down by cutting some of that puppy fat he is carrying.

Hoping the afl app streams it..

Looks like all SA boys are not playing in the u18s game now
