NGA draft prospects revealed: Cousin of star Blue on Freo radar after big GF

NGA Docker Isaiah Butters could be drafted by Fremantle after a standout showing in a Colts' Grand Final

www.afl.com.au

Anyone know what happened to Jermarl Daly? (is in the WC NGA - eligible to be drafted this season)

Showed some talent but fell off the radar this year.

 

[mightymouse75]

This (our NGA Guys) is the sole bright spot for me as a Freo supporter at this point in time.

I hear you. And fyfes brownlow. A little bit of hope goes a long way.

 

[Hammersoup]

For interest. Freo has 2 academy kids in yr 8 (13-14) at Scotch College whom have the best PSA side atm for the year. Both very good young players, one just an amazing indigenous talent (tall mid who doubles up as KPF at this age range) and the other with SA parent heritage who is equally as athletically gifted. The indigenous just got the northern district (Claremont/WP/Subi) best player award both will come through the CFC development pathway.

Watch this opportunity for freo close up real quick by the AFL. Too much success, not fair!

I’ve got a feeling Joel Western is going to be a top 3 pick next year.

Would need to grow another 5cm at least I think

I went from about 175cm to 183cm in year 12 before stopping at 185cm some time after so id back 5cm at that age.
How tall is joel western now.

Carter
Henry and Butters
B Walker, C Walker and Western

They will shut down it for sure.

 

[Jezzitizle]

Apart from Henry and perhaps Western, would it be a fair comment that all the other kids are speculative picks at best?

Apart from Butters getting a few sausage rolls on the weekend there seemed to be very little hype around.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the AFL shut it down, but I don’t think the justification is there, especially compared to the academy systems in NSW and Qld.

Walker is a chance as well - will be playing the u17s All Stars as well as Western (on opposite teams). The rest are speculative but I can see us filling our Cat B quota to give them a chance to prove themselves. A lot of clubs have nominated a heap of players in their NGA, often with none of them a chance of being drafted (many didn't even play Colts equiv level). We've been far more specific with our selections.

Next year's draft is anticipated to be compromised because of a heap of NGA prospects across most clubs. They aren't going to review NGA because of Freo. Other clubs have just as good, if not better, prospects as we do coming through (eg the Dogs have a top 5 prospect next season for instance). I'm expecting them to tweak the rules around it but I can't see them taking away clubs having first dibs on their NGA players - people are interested in following their journeys and invested in them. Any changes won't happen until 2021 at the earliest.

Alex Pearce, Tim English and Patrick Cripps all found 20cm in their late teen years. Cripps was shorter than me when he was 15, by the time he was 17 he was knocking 190 and kept going after he was drafted.

So things happen, but I wouldn't expect Western to be walking into the club at 183cm

For those watching the 17's all stars, keep an eye on Heath Chapman from West Perth. He is an intercept marking beast.

Do you have a position with the wafc or something to do with next gen afl?

Just a keen observer.

I hit 165cm at 13 and only grown outwards.

 

[Dale147]

I hit 190 then shrunk back to the 188 I am now.

Team Dal Santo needs to play Western on ball. He's the best player in their team.

He looks the quickest person on the ground.

 

[wayToGo_]

He looks the quickest person on the ground.

He's easily the fastest. Like his defensive work. Thought he was everywhere in that 2nd qtr. His attack on the ball and that contested mark in the 3rd was good. And he even has a hit out in his stats - too small for AFL???

 

[rgauci]

Hard to Star when team getting pumped. How’s he going?

Hard to Star when team getting pumped. How’s he going?

He's excellent. Just created a goal then - by defensive work.

edit - the rest of his team is terrible though.
