looks a very likely type. Not sure if we would go down the key forward path but his contested marking and kicking for goal are the best in this draft.

He actually takes more contested marks than uncontested.

Has kicked 6.0, 7.0 and 7.2 this year that I know of.

Taking more contested than uncontested isn’t necessarily a good sign. Might mean he can’t get separation.

It has been mentioned he could be a bit better in the one on one contests with separation.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Scully has been out of favour after some poor form.

Not included in the SA U18 v U20 games or the current champs game today.

He's a likely type but he could slide big time.

he is basically 10cm+ taller in every game, players just kick it to him in the goal square and he outmarks guys who are approx 190cm and he is 204cm, since he has played against tougher competition he has really struggled, he has some skill, but put any real body pressure on him and those contested marks disappear, was easily beaten in the AFL Academy game where i think he went goaless and was beaten in the NSW/ACT game where he also went goaless, its only in the sanfl u18's where he is this unicorn that contested marks and goals at will, also people are unsure why he didnt get picked for the SA U18 v SA u20 game and kicked 2.3 at sanfl u18's level last week and now isnt picked for the 1st champs game, is he playing for a div 2 school team? sanfl u18's? injured? or dropped? no one is sure?

Reckon that Scully will end up being a 2nd rounder mate ?

Reminds me too much of Liam McBean, who has been dominant at SANFL level but didn’t at AFL level. Wouldn’t risk it with an early pick.

At the SA vs Allies game. Quick thoughts:

Keeler impressive without dominating.

McKercher impressive for allies, quick with a good foot.

Phillipou has great hands in tight.

Didn’t notice munkara but will pay more attention this quarter.

Foster is very athletic and took a good pack mark.

Bennier is one of my favourites, that I hope we look at, but has been quiet due to the ball being at the other end

Starting to really want another pick in that 10-15 range to pick up Cam MacKenzie.

Some half time thoughts at the SA v Allies game

Walter is a very solid kid - easily pushed off his opponent in front of where I am. Like an adult vs kid.

Rowston for GWS A is a likely type. Good overhead, can kick a goal from 50.

I thought lovelock was the dominant SA mid. Phillipou’s hands are very clean, but plays outside more than inside.

McKercher again impressive. Has poise, great kick, and quick.

It’s a cold, breezy day, which shouldn’t affect the game too much, but I’m not really seeing top 10 talent on display. I think back to rankine, JHF, Rozee who all showed a lot more natural talent for SA at these champs. Guess it is the first game, standard could keep improving. Let’s see how good the second half is…

Hey you can't be posting stuff from Nightmare around here

 

[hfc70]

Always wondered what a “likely type” is ?

 

[TylerDurden]

Wowzers.

 

[chopflop]

Wowzers.

Yeh he is pick 1

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Sheezel is the one.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Are will and Levi Ashcroft twins?

Are will and Levi Ashcroft twins?

Younger brother he's only 15

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Wowzers.

Mackenzie looms as one to look at with our second pick. I would say us picking him up would depend on whether we take a mid with our first pick. He's been tremendous for Sandringham playing as a tallish mid.

Not sure Mackenzie makes it that far

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Who knows. The performance of others who might do even better might keep him where he is. I also say this as I believe we should acquire another first-rounder.

 

[chopflop]

Sheezel is the one.

How could he get past GWS who need a small forward?
