Strachan is a big improver from last year and his hardness has got a lot better just needs to work on getting the ball more

Mcqualter is a small bloke and will need a big year to get drafted
FFII,
According to a few AFL spotters that went along to last Fridays Caulfield Grammar game, McQ had a very average game
Suggestion was he didn't look overly interested.
Thanks for the info MJ #1 re the CG game

Xavier v Caufield definitely on Saturday at 2pm at Xavier. (Not Friday)
Sounds like a great game to watch a bit of talent-
Caulfield- Garrubba (DS) /McQualter (GP) /Hoggan (SD) /Marston (SD)
Xavier - Spangher (Estn) / Myers (OC)/ Glenn (OC)

hoggan from caulfield is that justin hoggan??
Yes Justin Hoggan. He broke his leg last week apparently and obviously didn't play today.
As the final siren went with CG 14 points up (87 to 73) the CG kids went absolutely nuts. You would have thought they had won a Grand Final. Turns out they had, of sorts.
It turns out it was the first time in history that CG had ever beaten Xavier at Xavier in 1st Footy.
The victory was set by Andrew McQualter. Who was BOG IMHO but yes I am bias.
I kept McQ’s stats for the day and registered……
28 kicks (4 ineffective) 11 handballs (3 ineffective) 5 marks, 7 tackles, 5 tap-ons, 6 shepherds, 2 Frees for, 0 Frees against and 2 goals (1 from 50 off his non-preferred left).
Already in the last 10 months, since I last saw him play for Vic Country, he has put on physical size and grown to 180cm. His ball winning ability in the heated congestion of the centre square and at stop plays, and his use of the footy by hand or foot was as good as anything I’ve seen running around in the TAC this year.
His leadership ability comes naturally. During the warm up drills before the game he was organizing the team and calling the shots as the Coaching staff looked on. On the field he worked tirelessly running all match from contest to contest. When the game needed to be won in the second half he was the man that grabbed all the crucial disposals under pressure.
At the 15 minute mark of the last qtr, with scores close to level, McQ took a free kick from beside the oppositions point post. He passed the ball 40 metres across the ground to a team-mate on the HBF and CG were off and running.
After a series of kicks along the boundary the ball was eventually kicked to Stefan Garrubba, who marked 30 out on the angle. Garrubba fired out a quick handball into the centre corridor to the running McQ who stroll in and kick the goal from 10 metres out. He had run over 150 metres to get that handball.
I can’t wait to see McQ line up in the U18 Champs.
Speaking of Stefan Garrubba, he had a quiet first half playing onball. Got few kicks but dropped a few marks and never looked overly comfortable.
The CG Coach pulled the master stroke when he moved SG to FF and had his other forwards play up the ground the give SG plenty of room to move. He kicked 4 goals including 3 in the last. He did okay but he gets picked in the draft ahead of McQ It will again be proven 110% that athletes get picked ahead of pure football talent.
Other to show something for CG…..
Note: Te team sheets supplied at Xavier did not have the players DOB, Height or Weight listed so I have no idea if some of the kids can be drafted or their Hts and Wgt. I just given an un-educated guess.
Robert Chisolm (183-184cm, 82 kg) Played FF and took some brilliant one grab marks early on. Kicked 4 gls for the game. Moves extremely well over the ground, has a huge leap and nice set shot kicking style. (Was told he can be drafted this year)
Dwain Bailey (183-184, 80kg) Tough, hard at it sort who has a real crack at the contest. Takes a nice mark and runs all day. Looks a tad rough around the edges but his aggressive nature stood out and he racked up the possessions. (I saw him play for CG last year so I suspect he could be drafted)
Robert Eddy (182-183, 82kg) No nonsense player with strong hands and a sense of poise under pressure playing on the backline.
For Xavier College.
Matthew Spangher 191cm, 77kg (His stats from TAC magazine) On the Eastern Rangers list but like McQ plays in the APS each week instead. Played okay in patches but as a ‘Spotter’ suggested he is still growing into his body and can looking gangly and unco at times. He took some nice marks but also over-ran the ball badly on occasions and fumbled when not under pressure. Not terrific below his knees. I would like to see him play again before I comment further. He is bottom age in the draft, making the cut off by just 5 weeks.
Stephen Doyle 187-188cm 75kg. Took a number of good marks and appeared to fly for a lot more without success. Fought hard for the ball on the ground and showed some skill with his disposal at times. Vintage mentioned this lad as one he liked. I don’t know his age.
Not many of the others really got my attention. Most were around the 180-182 mark with not enough natural flair to stand out or 190-192 and slow lumbering types.

where do u think the two caulfield boys will feature come draft time?????????
#1,
Being more of a footy purist I would like to think McQ will atleast get picked before Garrubba but those other TAC watches on BF tell me I'm dreamin'.
McQ is currenty 4 times the footballer SG is and has 10 times the potential. Garrubba runs fast. Big deal, so can David Clarke.
I wouldn't even like to hazzard a guess where they may go in the draft. I think alot will depend on performances in the Under 18 Champs and the Draft Camp. SG may not even make the Vic Metro team.
McQ went to the Vic Testing Day last year but I have no idea where or even if SG went to the Test Day.

S.G was to young to be drafted last year, so he would not have been tested. It will interesting to see how McQualter and Garruba play for their respective TAC sides later in the year as the competition is of a higher standard.

Saw the game on the weekend between Caulfield and Xavier.
I have to say that the standard is along way off TAC Cup. The lack of hand passing after a mark so players can run on, I don't think Xavier switched play once to utilise lose men in the backline and the amount of U turns, well you just don't stay on the ground if you do that at a higher level.
I thought McQualter was excellent and has grown a bit since last year. He was a class above any other midfielder out there and brought his teamates into the game with pinpoint passing. The coach won the game for Caulfield moving Garubba to a pocket. He was just to good.
Chisolm looks to have a great lead and started off well with two very early goals.
Spangher was moved on to him and shut him down until the last ten minutes of the game when he kicked his next two.
Spangher looks to be a developing player and would be better suited to a higher standard. He continually ran off Chisolm but his opponents refused to utilise him which would have in turn made his opponent accountable.
I saw him against Calder and Western and they utilised his ability to continually run and create a lose man. Would have to question why he was left at FB until the last 5 minutes.
All in all its a very different game, a throw back to the V.F.L in the 80's. I think its back to the TAC cup for me this week.

Thanks Sezzac. Your reports are always good to read.
ball04,
I saw the game and yes this kid stood out for me. After he did a few nice things it was one of those - 'Who's this kid?'
Has nice skills and took some corageous marks particularly for his build. Popped up at some crucial times. Didn't take as much notice of his field kicking but I'd like to see him play again.
Is he on a TAC squad list?
Anyone got any thoughts on Kennedy for Xavier - Number 44. Big lad and only in year 10 I believe. John Kennedy's son.
Is he on a TAC cup list?
