Scouting Notes: 2021 AFL U19 National Championships - Western Australia vs. South Australia

WESTERN Australia scraped home by five points against South Australia in Saturday’s AFL Grand Final curtain-raiser, providing a chance for either state’s Under 19 squads to shine on the big stage. Claremont swingman Jacob Van Rooyen was the hosts’ saviour with his last-gasp goal, but there were...

Scouting Notes: 2021 AFL U19 National Championships: South Australia vs. Western Australia

WESTERN Australia completed a clean three-game sweep of South Australia this past weekend, cementing its dominance over this year’s makeshift Under 19 National Championships. In the Black Swans’ hard fought 10-point victory, there were plenty of prospects out to press their draft credentials...

Looks like he did very well at state level considering where he's come from development wise.

He was very good in the first state game and its on youtube so probably the easiest game to watch for anyone interested.

He sounds potentially freakish.

 

[Zhesty]

Three fast, hard at it, and aggressively minded players. Like it a lot.

I think most said the same when picked Starz and Bailey as first round picks I’ll back in Conole

Don't think he was criticising draft selection but rather our trading / list management. If we had an opportunity to trade out a future third round pick to get a player we rated in the first round (after weighing up our needs) and we didn't do it - that's a poor assessment of risk / reward imo. I think the fact that players drafted around this mark are quite speculative reinforces this.

Points for next year can always be manufactured, plans change (e.g. a player might request a trade next year) and rankings can always change (e.g. Ashcroft drops down the draft rankings).

But in saying that, I like the look of Tunstill I'm just not a fan of the way we have approached this draft knowing that a player we rated in the first round was available a couple of picks before us.

 

[M Malice]

Looks as tough as nails and hard at it on that footage, all 3 have that trait in spades.

 

[spotthedog1]

Interviewed by about half the teams. Only really started taking it serious in the last year or two, not ideal training conditions (3 hours each way to Perth each week, only really training locally in Bussellton). Sounds like he adjusted quickly to the higher levels when moved up.

Worth a punt.

 

[Warwick]

Skinny WA midfielder who is super clean with his hands.

Reminds me of someone but can't recall who.

Sounds like Paparone by that description, but Paps was very outside...

Points for next year can always be manufactured, plans change (e.g. a player might request a trade next year) and rankings can always change (e.g. Ashcroft drops down the draft rankings).

That's all too easy to say as a supporter. Harder if you work in list management. We might also not want to double up on players - we might rate Howes as too similar to Lohmann.

 

[pulpdriver]

He's very skinny but looking at the long limbs and his shoulders I reckon he'll fill out very nicely one we get him into the gym. On a side note does he remind anyone else of a young James Van Der Beek?

 

[Warwick]

 

[BangyBangy]

There is only so many times you can go out of the box and win ! Why not zac Taylor as an example or Draper

Out of the box according to whom?

And who else did we go outside the box for? Wilmot? Lohmann?

If you believe the tweet from Riley Beveridge a few clubs had Lohmann in the 15 to 20 range.

Wears 20 for WA.

Tunstill was wearing 20 on the clips too. Good Omen.

Doesn't even have a YouTube highlights...

There was a lot less intelligence and testing of the draftees back then.

But yeah , happy to think we have another Blacky on our hands.

He wears the same number ffs. Someone knows.

 

[briztoon]

Dogs just took someone who doesn’t even have a rating. Shows that the armchair pundits don’t really have a clue at this point of the draft.

Would Mick Ablett and Shifter Sheehan have put together the Fox rankings?

Anything opinion based that is predicting the future historically gets it wrong more often than right doesn't it. Even informed opinion.

So it figures that once you get past the obvious you play the percentages and hope.

 

[BangyBangy]

Would Mick Ablett and Shifter Sheehan have put together the Fox rankings?

Shifter has everyone at #1.

Lohman and tunstil out of the box definitely at there selection , time will tell if so or not
Our selectors have form

 

[Section 5]

Tunstill...: 185cm 76 kg

Wilmot



Lohmann



Tunstill

 

[briztoon]

Love that there are all these superstars sliding in the 40s in what was described a weak draft.

Who described it as a weak draft?

It’s been spoken about as a strong draft crop for two years by recruiters and draft watchers alike.

 

[blueiris]

Shifter had Wilmot for the number 1 pick for next year but that said he had about 40 players for pick 1 this year
