Do you mean to say 2020 Draft per chance?

No, this thread is for the draft class of 2021. The class of 2020 thread is here: 2020 Draft General Discussion.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Clarifying.

Is this for those born in 2002 or 2003?

The Class of 2021 will be 18 in 2021 when they're drafted, so 2021-18=2003? Right?

2001 was this year, 2002 next year, 2003 in the 2021 draft.

ok these are some seriously early names from the nab league, that i have seen play and look good, at the moment Rachele from Murray is the best i have seen, but its so early i cant make a 100% call.

2021 Pool
Josh Rachele (Murr) med forw
Tom Brown (Murr) med forw
Sam Banks (Tas) mid
Alex Lukic (Oak) KPF
Tyler Sonsie (East) mid
Sam Hobbs (GWV) sml forw/mid
Josh Rentsch (GWV) KPF
Charlie Molan (GWV) med defender

I haven’t seen a large amount of the interstate guys but from vic my current top 3 are

Tyler Sonsie
Josh Sinn
Josh Rachele

Very strong crop think it will outperform this year and next year and I’m aware that’s a very early call haha

 

[andleanback]

Tyler sonsie the best I’ve seen of this crop so far. Although hard to tell this far out jeka looked a top 3 pick 24 months ago

Some WA kids I liked at colts level this year:

Matthew Johnson (Subiaco/North Beach JFC) - 187cm midfielder/forward
Classy tall midfielder who looked very impressive in his 6 colts games this year as a double underager. Averaged 15 disposals and kicked 5.4. Strong in the contest for his lighter frame, played as a wingman or a deep forward.

Antonio Dadaliaris (Swan Districts/Bassendean JFC) - 183cm intercepting defender
Silky medium defender who reads the play well. Makes everything look very easy.

Judd McVee (East Fremantle/Geraldton Rovers) - 178cm midfielder
2019 U16 All Australian who made his senior GNFL debut in July. Notorious standout in many WA state schoolboys teams. Natural footballer with decent goal sense.

Others to keep an eye on: Max Chipper (SD), Kade Dittmar (EP), Jacob van Rooyen (C), Richard Bartlett (EF), Luke Polson (PT), Jesse Motlop (SF), Rhett Bazzo (SD)

Correct.

I put 2 + 2 together and incorrectly assumed something wrong in my head.

Sam Banks is listed in our NGA Academy listings, fairly certain he's tied to us.

Nick Daicos is also for the 2021 draft.

 

[Jason mp]

I was at my grandsons year 6 graduation disco last night and was reliably informed that this will be a super draft.

2021 Pool
Josh Rachele (Murr) med forw - 180cm, 4 games 8 goals, averaged 17.8 disposals 50% cont poss as a 16 year old and looks like a star on the field
Tom Brown (Murr) med forw - 184cm, 2 games 0 goals, averaged 9.5 disposals, played as a high hff in 2 losses pre-finals, potential
Sam Banks (Tas) mid - 184cm, 8 games 1 goal, averaged 11.6 disposals, smooth outside/inside mid with good disposal, won Tas MVP in the u16
Alex Lukic (Oak) KPF - 194cm, 2 games 3 goals, averaged 5.5 disposals, tall skinny forw who looks a likely type, kicked a bag in the u16 i believe
Tyler Sonsie (East) mid - 181cm, 6 games 3 goals, averaged 11 disposals, played as a hff who had some time in the mid, had some moments of quality
Ben Hobbs (GWV) sml forw/mid - 181cm, 5 games 2 goals, averaged 12 disposals, clever mid, looks like a good young prospect
Josh Rentsch (GWV) KPF - 196cm, 5 games 3 goals, averaged 8.2 disposals, tall forw who has had his moments, but very raw at this stage
Charlie Molan (GWV) med defender 187cm, 2 games, averaged 12.5 disposal, intercept defender, in 1 of his 2 games he had a very good game

as you can see Josh Rachele was the most effective player and there were games he dominated as a 16 year old not even in his underage year, looking forward to what he can produce for the next 2 years.

 

[Two Planks]

Who won the under 16s championships this year.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Who won the under 16s championships this year.

Vic Metro dominated.

 

[Davo-27]

Who won the under 16s championships this year.

Vic Metro won 3-0, Vic Country 2nd 1-2, SA 3rd 1-2, WA Last 1-2

2nd-4th based on percentage, VC and SA close but WA had a bad percentage being beaten by big scores and winning 1 game by 2 points over VC

 

[eDPS]

Vic Metro dominated.

Considering the strength of the players that missed the squad I’m not surprised

 

[Rainsparks]

Vic Metro won 3-0, Vic Country 2nd 1-2, SA 3rd 1-2, WA Last 1-2

2nd-4th based on percentage, VC and SA close but WA had a bad percentage being beaten by big scores and winning 1 game by 2 points over VC

WA were very average but could of been really competitive some of the selections left people scratching the heads. Some really talented kids missed out.

Callum Twomey has had a chubby for Nick Daicos for the last 12 months already. Also we have Dib as an academy player who was the u16 AA wingman this year iirc.

Daicos again will be hidden in school football for another year, I’m hoping to get to more school games next year and should be able to see what all the hype is about

Do you think it is a case of hiding kids?

Tbh no as obviously Peter has done this with all his kids and most others F/S prospects still play Nab League from time to time
