ok you may be right? but i thought i saw him kick at least 2 goals, maybe im wrong? but i dont trust your eye tbh.I can guarantee if I'm wrong it's because I've missed a behind or two, nailed all the goal getters![]()
Nooooo Ted! Keep it under wraps! Fake a hammy for the love of godTed Clohesy - Geel - huge game by the geelong mid, was a contested beast in the 2nd game and should improve his stocks a bit
1st game best imo
VM - McKenzie, Clarke, Jefferson, Witherill, Hayes, Teal, Ashwin, Kizan, Pavlidis, Tomasiello, Philactides, Nyko, Dozzi(ok), Drury(ok)
2023 is looking like a very strong draft.for me some big movers in my rankings are:
Cam McKenzie - he was one of the best in the first trial next to Charlie Clarke who i had already liked a lot, Cam was a defender last year and his move into the midfield has improved his draft stocks dramatically
Oli Hotton and Cam Kizan - both players are similar in that they are speedy wingers who got involved in the play for their various vic metro teams, both wearing the #7
Caleb Mitchell - was one of the best for Vic Country in the first game, played mid and forward and was a key player in their team, i think he could be a 2nd round prospect or late 1st if he performs like he did in Werribee
Toby McMullin - other than Pete taking him in the Bigfooty Phantom i didnt know much about him, but he is a strong tackling clever forward who showed a lot of ability, he was impressive also for Country
Jacob Konstanty - he is a small forward who can pop up during state games last year and this year with a handful of goals, he is a forward who is a finisher, not a pressure forward, he probably could be picked up mid/late draft, all depending on how his champs go
a few players for next year really improved their rankings as well. (A.Reid, Lual, Frangalas, Philactides, Nyko, Witherill, Watson, Badr, Caddy, Duursma, Simpson, Morris)
in conclusion i think McKenzie is probably a top 25 player, Caleb Mitchell would slot in around 20-35 i would like to see more, but he has good traits, Toby McMullin could be mid draft option, maybe better depending on how he deals with the pressures of the champs, Konstanty i also think is a mid draft option, Kizan and Hotton have traits that could see them drafted also (speed on the outside and penetration in their kicking)
Thoughts on SuperCoach scores.Top 60 update - i like this list atm, taking a chance on Caleb Mitchell @27 (pre-champs) McKenzie and Clarke rose, added Sam Gilbey, Darcy Jones and Jack Cleaver from WA, Toby McMullin @32 and Callum Verrell @37 Yuyu Ashwin @50 re-added Konstanty and dropped Taj Campbell-Farrell a bit.

Callum Verrell. Will keep rising. Personally have watched him 3 times live and has impressed me every time.

Thoughts on SuperCoach scores.
2023 is looking like a very strong draft.
just some take aways
Caleb Mitchell was huge in the last half for Country, tallish mid/forw, but his team was beaten by then, he just looked like a competitor and impressed me a lot
Archer Reid(KPF) and Luamon Lual(med def) look like top prospects for next year, Frangalas(mid/forw) also looks classy and strong, Philactides (small def) a match winner in defence
Dozzi and Tomasiello got a heap of the ball, but werent as clean or sharp with disposal/decision making, Drury always pops up in state games, but i thought he was a bit pedestrian, Yu had a good 1st half but seemed to run out of steam, i believe he kicked 2 goals in the first half, 1 running into 30m after being given a handball and the other i think a mark and kick off the top of my head, Philactides was the hero for metro in the last quarter, country had the scoring end in the last and were peppering the forward 50 but Philactides was involved in nearly every intercept, tackle or rebound 50
Verrell is really impressive, he, Caleb Mitchell and Toby McMullin really impressed me for this years draft, which is why i added them to my list prior to the champs where i hope they have great champs
Al Davey Jnr had a good run in the midfield, Hotton and Kizan played roles for metro on the outside, i didnt realise Bennetts had such a good game, Caddy had a big first half clunking a bunch of marks, but most of his kicks on goal came at the windy non scoring end so i dont think he kicked a goal, but his general play was very good as always
Konstanty came alive in the last half to give country a chance at a win, he is a good goal sneak when on and has been a performer for the state team, Duursma was a classy player, running around with his gold boots getting plenty of the ball in mid before going forward and kicking a few goals i think? and giving country another avenue to goal, Ted Clohesy was a beast in the middle in the first half and was really impressive winning the hard ball and feeding team mates as well as getting free and going for a run, i was a bit disappointed in Taj Campbell-Farrell he was a bit one pace and doing handballs over his head instead of hitting up team mates on the outside or winning the hard ball, he even gave away a free for incorrect disposal with a handball over his head, it was just a weird tactic to employ?
Fair assessment. During the trial games I thought the 2023 players performed better than this years draft crop. I’ve been saying for a longtime the 2023 group will be a very strong draft…from Victoria alone theres a good group forming
Archer Reid - kpf
Nick Watson - sml forw
Nate Caddy - med forw, maybe grow to kpf?
Nathan Philactides - sml def
Harley Reid - mid/forw
Luamon Lual - med def
George Stevens - med forw
Zane Duursma - mid/forw
Sam Frangalas - mid/forw
Cooper Simpson - mid/forw
Mahmoud Taha - mid
Oliver Badr - def/mid
Archie Roberts - mid
Riley Witherill - med forw
Disagree. Though some 2005 players performed very well. Doesn’t mean they all go on to improve. Also about 12 of this years best didn’t play between the metro & country squads.Fair assessment. During the trial games I thought the 2023 players performed better than this years draft crop. I’ve been saying for a longtime the 2023 group will be a very strong draft…
but thats because George Wardlaw, Will Ashcroft, Elijah Tsatas, Harry Sheezel, Rye Penny, Mitch Szybkowski, Brayden George, Aaron Cadman, Jhye Clark, Oliver Hollands, Olivier Northam, Henry Hustwaite and James Van Es didnt play from this years draft group because they were probably already guaranteed a spot in the metro and country teams.Fair assessment. During the trial games I thought the 2023 players performed better than this years draft crop. I’ve been saying for a longtime the 2023 group will be a very strong draft…
I agree 100% with Davo-27but thats because George Wardlaw, Will Ashcroft, Elijah Tsatas, Harry Sheezel, Rye Penny, Mitch Szybkowski, Brayden George, Aaron Cadman, Jhye Clark, Oliver Hollands, Olivier Northam, Henry Hustwaite and James Van Es didnt play from this years draft group because they were probably already guaranteed a spot in the metro and country teams.
if i were to say who the best 10 players were on the day it would probably be something like
Cam McKenzie, Charlie Clarke, Archer Reid, Matthew Jefferson, Luamon Lual, Nick Watson, Callum Verrell, Jacob Konstanty, Zane Duursma, Ted Clohesy (4/10 for 2023 with 12 of the best players from metro and country not playing)
special mentions to Caleb Mitchell(great 2nd half), Nathan Philactides, Jack O'Sullivan, Jonti Schuback and Toby McMullin ect
i do think next years crop will be good, but this years crop looked great last year too.
most of the players i liked were the usuals from this years draft and next yearsDavo did you do a write up of that sa U18s game vs the sa u20s? Anyone you liked from that?
most of the players i liked were the usuals from this years draft and next years
Adam D'Aloia - (mid)played well again, gets the tough ball and feeds team mates, tackles hard, just does a lot right and little wrong, contested inside mid
Will Dowling - (wing/mid)tall rangy player nice kick, good runner, has good AFL traits, but doesnt get enough footy to have too high (against good opponents)
Isaac Keeler - (Ruck/leading KPF)really impressive game again, 2 games and he has out performed Scully and Lemmey, the fact he can play ruck and his around the ground game is much more advanced than those 2 gives him an edge, also he reminds me so much of a young Paddy Ryder it isnt funny
Kobe Ryan - (wing/mid)i like how he goes about it, reminds me in style and movement of a Darcy Parish, good and bad i guess(although he does work hard when he doesnt have the ball), he is a talent
Harry Barnett - (Ruck)very athletic ruck, who can go forward as a kpf, his around the ground work is good and is surprisingly agile/quick for a big man, ground balls seem to not be a problem for him which is a good thing, but has lost the ruck dual too often in the last 2 years for me to rate too highly.
Mattaes Phillipou - (mid/forw)bit of a disappointing game from him, got a couple of cheapies out the back with his running capabilities but other than that didnt have a great game imo, got caught htb a couple of times, i did like him flying the flag at 1 point after a team mate got tackled too hard.
Hansen(bp/mid), Lovelock(hff), J.Ryan(hbf), Bennier(FB), Michaelanny(CHB/ med def), Lemmey(KPF) all had solid games as well
2023 Talent...
Jack Delean - (medium forw) had a good game as that medium forward/mid, handed a goal off to Pedler and generally used the ball well, took a couple of good marks
Alex Holt - (hbf) had a great game off of half back, won nearly every ball that came towards him, another good player for next years draft
overall a better performance than the loss to NSW/ACT with Delean, Michaelanny, J.Ryan and Lemmey in the side, although Scully didnt play
Thanks for the report mate! though must say Dowling is not shy of finding the footy, he's probably the best ballwinner in the state for his age if played on the ball (harder I know when you have bulls like D'Aloia in there).most of the players i liked were the usuals from this years draft and next years
