SA underdogs, you'd think.

 

[Apsaalooke]

ahhh that time of the year.

Where I get all excited to learn about the u/18s, plan to watch every Champs game,

Then never do.

I’m sure a few on here pretend they do

 

[Jeffcrowe]

We will see whether the latest batch of SA kids are overrated

Interested in seeing how Goad Patton and Mcaullife go

 

[Carmo]

Weckert deputy vice captain? That seems like rapid progress.

Shouldn't the Campo twins be in there??

 

[Carmo]

Burgoyne lad not there either??

 

[whattagun07]

If I may drip feed some insights here...
I've heard Liam Fawcett is a bit hot and cold, but If the coach can tap into his strengths, and he can withstand the pressure, his form will flow nicely into the Champs.

 

[whattagun07]

So is Welsh not making it as an underager?

Don’t Fawcett what a gun

Noone is biting.

 

[ams4crows]

No Welsh

 

[Thunderstruck]

Welsh not playing is a disappointment though have to say he's been a little down this year. Ridgway as well would normally be there but has missed a lot of this season. Did play for the Bays though today.

If it was allowed I'd put Dyson Sharp in that Under 18 squad. He'd already be one of the better players, only turned 16 the other week and has been destroying Under 16's all year. One to watch for the Under 16 champs.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Allies making an absolute mess of SA early

Margin could be bigger completely dominant 1st quarter

Few SA boys with big reps need to lift , looking an underwhelming SA year re talent and a few heavily overrated thru local u18 form

Jed Walter GC adademy firming for top 3 pick , Read GC looking top 10 too

Stewy Dew will be wanting to stick around as there’s going to be years of fun for GC IMO

 

[Jeffcrowe]

No Welsh

Coming back from injury

Wouldn’t take any notice of Welsh season so far though , would wait for back half of champs and local season once he’s got his fitness up post injury

 

[Bob Neil]

180 odd disposals to 90 odd at half time - what a complete smashing.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

How's Bigman and my call on Taylor Goad going, pantsing the big reputation Allies rucks...

Only problem now is everybody can see the potential and upside..

No one is pantsing Read , he’s close to BOG but not in ruck all that much

Goad is >>>> May

I like Goad !

Read might go top 6 and Walter top 3 I reckon

 

[Thunderstruck]

Goad the only SA player from this game that looks draftable from their effort. Very impressive, the rest of them are very poor. Arguing off the ball, finger pointing, hands on hips etc, mentally nowhere at all, very disappointing. Allies so clean in the middle, full of run and playing for each other with a want and will to win every contest.

And Delean

The allies mids are in another league to SA ones , much more advanced

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Now they are stepping up

 

[Firewalker]

And Delean

Delean has some absolute wizardry, has a bit of Birdman about him including mastering the art of using your teammates as the step ladder

 

[Jeffcrowe]

On today the SA order should read, Goad, Delean, McAuliffe, McCabe, Evans, Patton....if Draper was eligible he'd be close to No. 1.

We must draft Taylor Goad!!!

He’s good in ruck contests with his athleticism , has only had 5 possessions

Reckon he’s a late draft pick we should have in our sights

 

[Firewalker]

We must draft Taylor Goad!!!

Questionable why they’ve used the other ruck van Wyk instead of Goad so much today, from what I saw that kid moves like he’s got anvils attached to his feet

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Bit of weightman including the hair and leap

Goad is so much better

I still really like something about Liam Fawcett, has all the tools you want in a modern forward.
