Who do u rekon has a chance to make it onto an AFL list form eastern? these are my thoughts on som of there chances
Top age:
Renton-solid ruckman bout 202 cm
Lobbe-KPP, was rated highly didnt have a great year though, needs to develop a body, very fit however
Noy-super quick descent footballer
Nye-gun midfielder very small though, did well in league b n f for his amount of games-broke leg or ankle?
Dell Aquila-very classy struggled early with a groin injury i think
but good late
Zomer-good size, excellent athletiscm
Bottom age:
Sloane-can do a bit of everything, good player reasonable size for a midfielder
Cunningham-all round player great second half 2 TAC season, 2nd in league in effective handballs
Walker-super quick, currently HBF/wing, good 2nd half to the year runner turned footballer
McDonald-good size, composed, good athletiscm KPP
did i miss any1 from there? any opinions on how they will fair in draft/rookie this year (or next for the bottom age)
 
I would be very surprised if Renton didn't get a chance at a club considering his improvement. Lobbe should too, despite not setting things on fire this year - his enurance at Draft Camp will be in the top few for his size bracket.

I'd rate Dell Aquilla and Wright as the next two best chances- basically becuase they are the class players in the team who kick the ball beautifully.

Noy and Zomer will test well and could be Rookie prospects.

Sloane, McDonald & Walker all need the extra year of develpment as top age players.
 
I tried out for eastern ranges in the 15's side and we were expected to watch a game and what we saw was that cunningham torw it up

walker i hear is a freak as well
 
Last years Ranges player Daniel (Snowy) Stewart now playing at Labrador will be a smokie this year. He made Qld Open State side for the match against Tasmania, Runner Up in NAB ALFQ Rising Star Award and was named in AFLQ Velocity Sports Team of the Year. Youngest player in the State match and Team of the Year. Has played at CHF and at 198 cm will get noticed.

Quite a few clubs have been knocking on his door.

Any more info on Renton, Chandra? Is he athletic? Can he jump? Play out of a pocket? Etc.

A funny one to describe, I wouldn't use the word athletic, but he does cover the ground well with a gangky type action - at 202 cm his stride length helps.

Saw him play forward and kick goals this year, needs some more strength to hold his contested marks. Reads the game well in general play.

In the ruck rarely loses a boundary throw in but does get jumped over in the middle.

Plenty to work with and watch develop.
