Great initiative by the Giants...
Probably why they left a couple of spots available on their list.
Well done Sheed's - always thinking outside the square!
There's some decent talent running round in the Sydney AFL, and it's a fantastic opportunity.
One of Kevin Sheedy's favourite themes is giving someone a second chance - and I could easily see him picking up a former Scholarship player who wasn't rookie listed by their Scholarship club and giving them another crack at making it at AFL level. Someone who is still young but has a few years of senior football under their belt.

Hope he's in the mix.

Great idea.
The 'local boy who walked into a tryout and made the list' story would play so well.

Sydney AFL team's been picked:
Rohan Bates (Balmain), Shanan Kershaw, Owen Love (Campbelltown), Rowan Bilkey, Jack Dimery, Steve O'Connor, Daniel Spiteri, Jamie Vlatko (East Coast), Lachlan Pryor, Jeremy Stiller, Teddy Strudwick (North Shore), Alex Goodall, Kieran Wright (Pennant Hills), Bryce Addison, Declan Donohue (St George), Tim Barton, Tom Elkington, Adam McConnochie, Mitchell Thompson (Sydney Uni), Max Collett, Ben Woods (UNSW-ES), Rohan Lilly, Dave Linsen, Brenton Mumme, Dwain Watkins (Wests), Troy Bartlett, Beau Black (Wollongong).
After the game, 2 of them will join the Giants squad for pre-season and the NAB Cup & NAB Challenge. If any of them impress, I wouldn't be surprised if Sheeds was to keep one of them on to join the GWS squad.

Egan's almost 30 and I understand he's gone to Canberra.
Perry has gone to Eastlake.
Ben Woods is one who looks pretty good.

I hope Lachie Pryor and Alex Goodall get it
Lachie gave up a chance to be an olympic class Sailor to pursue an AFL career back in 05/06 once he got his scholarship to I beleive it was North Melbourne. After playing with him in 2005, I'd just like to see someone from my team make it, Longy had a scholarship with Freo, didn't get a gig, but did move to WA to be in a WAFL team and be under their eye. Scott (Reed) got his scholarship to Collingwood, and is now entering his 3rd year as a rookie there and....
James right? the midfielder. I always thought he was a great player, I only ever saw him play 1 bad game, would of been his 1st under 12s rep game, his dad went mental at my dad (the coach) for dragging him, at least he got an apology when they found out he had a stress fracture in his foot restricting his running
or are you talking about Levi?
good forward he was, him in the forward line, and Scott Reed in the ruck made me the backup in 2 positions
I know there were 2 people who played for Riverveiw, and then went to UNSW/ES, but 1 went to Central Disticts in the SANFL for a year or 2 (08 maybe 09)
Was that Ben, or the other kid I can't remember the name of (or was Woods the really good original UNSW/ES - I didn't think he was, I'm pretty sure Harrison Cumming was the really good player from there - is he still on the Bulldogs list?)
Oh, and back to that 1st post I quoted, the reason I want Goodall to get it, is because I'm pretty sure in the year I moved to SA after playing at Pennant Hills in 06 and 07, he had a bad injury keeping him out most of the year, I'm pretty sure, not 100% on that, but I'm pretty sure it was
I don't think any of the people named in the Sydney AFL team played for GWS in the TAC Cup last year. I guess people who were in the TAC Cup squad are already on the Giants' radar.
I think James Brain is still under 18 this year and is still on a Brisbane scholarship. If so I think he'd play for the Rams this year and maybe some games for the Lions reserves in the NEAFL; but if Brisbane don't end up listing him GWS would be a good chance to pick him up.

What about a spearhead forward for the 2012 season??? Will no doubt be de-listed from the Lions and put on a limited contract with a heap of behavourial conditions. This will secure no doubt be 100 goals per season.
Plenty of experience for a group of young blokes.

Some people are beyond help, and he is one of them. It's too late to rehabilitate him now; and I'd rather not have him dragging the name of the club through the mud as he inevitably would.
4:30pm on Saturday 5th. It's at Monarch Oval, on Fields Rd at Macquarie Fields. Entry is free.
To get there, go down the M5 and take the Brooks Rd exit. Turn left at the end of Brooks Rd at Williamson Rd, then turn right at Henderson Rd. After you cross the railway line, go straight ahead to the second roundabout. Turn left and the ground is on the right (you will see the grandstand), so turn into the car park.

that's Campbelltown's oval isn't it?
I beleive Adelaide and Sydney played a pre-season game there in 1999
