Callum Mills also continues to wrack up impressive stats. In the game last weekend against the Bendigo Pioneers they were:

Disposals: 35
Kicks: 20
Handballs: 15
behinds: 1
Marks: 10 (all uncontested)
Tackles: 6

I don't think many 17 year olds would be matching Callum this year in the TAC Cup.

Looks great for the draft next year.

Honestly our midfield depth is scary.

@TACCup: FT stats: VC Maishman 29d (7 I50), Nixon 28 (17hb), Dunkley 26 (7mk), Caprion 25 (8mk), Lonie 25 (8mk, 2.2), Wilson 14 (6mk, 4.2)

Exciting.

...while Sydney Swans' father-son prospect Josh Dunkley continued his consistent championships despite not being eligible for the draft until 2015.

Mills and Dunkley both under agers so impressive indeed. Where are we going to fit them all in? no retirements for a few years in the midfield, scary indeed.

Many clubs will come poaching

We'll that cancels any doubt over him not opting to be a F/S selection.

12:30 Fox Footy , his game starts at 2:30

 

[Superstar swan]

Gee it would be interesting if we had draft night trades like the nba do. With all our depth in the middle, we may not need them all. Would be handy if we could draft them then on trade them to someone who really needs them and give us someone that fills a need of ours

Dunkley & Mills are spending the week training with the club.

Was just about to post the same thing. I'm pretty excited about Dunkely and Mills.

Agree with post earlier on this page, we're going to be so stacked in midfield if we get these two, we need to structure our list very carefully now or the poaching will be on for young and old - having said that GWS offer us some protection, they've proven they'll cave in. Targeted trading (out with the mids, in with the talls) and taking a few tough retirement calls looks like the way it'll play out going forward.

Jesse Maxfield has been added to the Sandy Dragons lower age squad for next year

Do we know anything about him in terms of height, position he plays and how good he is compared to his teammates?

 

[bedford]

Just relax, he goes ok , another midfielder who is improving every year.

Hope he kicks like his old man, cant say the same for dunkley though!

I am slightly too young to properly remember how bad of a kick Dunkley was. I remember watching him play but I guess I was not observant enough back then to notice he was a shocking kick.

Brilliant mark and as tough as they come but had a very ordinary kicking style. Always handpassed when he marked. Not sure what other people think but I still say he was the best full back weve had in my lifetime. (1975 onwards)
