Preview 2024 AFL Draft General Discussion

[RedmanWasHere]

If we thought 2023 will bring us uncertainly from a Victorian POV, 2024 promises to be even more suspect and speculative.

There's a F/S prospect for Melbourne in Adem Yze

's son Noah and, yet again, we have another Duursma (Willem) for this particular draft. (Or maybe 2025.)
Assuming they all get picked, Willem will become Duursma No. 6 on a VFL/AFL list. (Jamie, Dean, Xavier, Yasmin, Zane and Willem.)

I don't know if they have any interest but Ky Burgoyne and Charlie Crawford are eligible to join Hawthorn. (Ky is also eligible to join Port Adelaide.)

Not that the U12's is a good reference point, the 2018 U12's Australian Football carnival at least gives us an idea as to who to be on the lookout for.

Plenty of water to reach the bridge but here we are.

The year of birth in focus for this thread is 2006.

I have seen Stu Cochrane lad Tom play and have been impressed with contested footy and pretty good kick. Is a big solid mid but not sure if it translates to AFL when other kids catch up. Dont think Stuart Cochrane

Was mentioned on the Brisbane team board, but there's another F/S Ashcroft (Levi) who's listed in the blue team.

 

[Tivva29]

Some talented kids in those squads. Brighton Grammar kid Harrison Oliver and Caulfield Grammar Charlie Richardson both still growing/developing. I understand Charlie is KB’s grandson.

 

[Rioli8217]

Duursma (Willem) for this particular draft. (Or maybe 2025.)

He's a 2025 I think.

Rioli8217.

When you say futures, does that make them 2025 eligible?

Futures is 16s, I think, so most likely 2024. 2025 would be u14 which would probably be a step too far.

Thanks for the clarification.

Anyone here got U15 connections with Sturt’s U15 development teams. Saw a kid the other day for the country zone team who was absolutely special - first name Will but didn’t catch his surname. Cheers

There's a William Grivell. (Possible brother of Ollie Grivell.)

Thank you - I looked up the squad names and just my luck they had bloody 3 Wills!!! Will Grivell, Will Harvey and Will Trevorrow. I know he was #14 but can’t tell which Will it was !!

Just on Sturt's website and, playing in the seniors is, indeed, Ollie Grivell.

The NSW team was selected at the end of May therefore I find it unlikely that it wasn't hindered by Covid dunno4.

This is the Swans best 24

Andrew Murdoch.
Russell Royal.
Joe Harrison.
Oliver Sullivan.

We've stepped back into the 1800's here.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Then we travel to Greece with Vasili Vertsonis

We then travel to the modern day with Cedar Barry.

Jacob Newton is currently tearing the SA U15 intra state champs to shreds. Already played SANFL U16 and 1st 18 for Rostrevor College. Power, pace, skills - complete package.

 

[briztoon]

There’s another Ashcroft kid here I believe.

I believe his name is Levi but I don't wanna be misquoted on that.

There's another Lockett on the horizon and a Millane too.

Both are nephews of Plugger and Pants respectively.

Yes his name is Levi. And according (not really) to discussions on the Brisbane forum, he’s already better than his brother. Problem is, we might lose him to Golf.

Golf?

Ain't nobody taking him from footy.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Just while here, a name for the 2025 AFLM Draft.

Don't know what his game is like but, for Melbourne, Kalani White.
