[I Remember Bluey]

Ok well we know Tex lives in Adelaide. If you don't have anything else meaningful to contribute you should move along thanks.

We will see about that, "Gill sort this out NOW" Regards Kotchwality

 

[ant555]

Wanganeen? Tex was at Prince Alfred in Adelaide last I heard.

Yep and comes over 3 or 4 times a year , not that it would give any indication on where he would go if he is good enough but he has been part of the program for a few years now.

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

What’s Joe Misiti’s boy like??
Good size...the elusive inside bull
When can he potentially be drafted?

Does it mean anything that none of these feature on your 2020 draft board?

 

[ghostdog]

...are they automatically in by virtue of their birth? Seems a bit premature to think we've got a footballer by the age of 2... or young Sophie Howlett is obviously gifted.

Eyre and Brand could make their way in my rankings, always harder to rate the talls unless their absolute freaks.

Yeah it’s just all the kids eligible under f/s (parent/child?) rules. So if their dad played 100 games for us. I assume there’s an element of choice, they don’t have to turn up or tell the club the kid even exists.

NGAs are slightly more complicated, from memory I think anyone can be part of the academy up until a certain age purely based on their postcode, which means they don’t have to have the one parent born overseas or whatever, whereas the 16-18s have to actually meet all the rules, and only the ones that meet all the rules can actually be priority selections for us.

I think for the most part the ones listed on the club website would meet all the rules anyway since that’s a smart way to invest your effort and the only ones we’re really interested in as members.

I’ll get my first look at Tex Wanganeen on Sunday, has been named to play for Oakleigh in their first practise match.

Please don't tell me he is eligible to Collingwood under the NGA.....

 

[andleanback]

Of course Oakleigh have managed to get another kid not from their zone in the side. What school is he at? If he is interstate schooling, if he plays champs eventually how will he train with south aus, or will he play for Vic?

Xavier

All safe there

Yeah Xavier, think he ends up playing SA in this case at the champs.

Are there others you're also yet to see?

 

[eDPS]

A few playing for Calder, Luca Alessio/Carlos Egan/Matt Foley Who I might be able to see next week if their next practise match is suitable.

That's exciting. Looking forward to your observations.

 

[windyhill]

Tex. Mozzie. One Davey. Oh *.

 

[eDPS]

Tex ended the game with about 10 disposals and would have played about 55% game time.
The good

• footy smarts
• one touch
• speed + agility
• dual sided/ lovely kick
• good timing

Queries

• size
• marking

He left a good impression and played almost exclusively as a midfielder but see him becoming more of a flanker/wingman at the next level.

Footy smarts and kicks on both sides. Yes please.

 

[eDPS]

Well I wasn’t expecting this but Alwyn Davey jr played for Oakleigh in the under 16s today and boy oh boy does he look a player.

His speed, agility and nous around goal are fantastic and in a fast paced and frantic game his style of play really came to the fold.

Is it paranoid that whenever an indigenous father son plays at a TAC club I get worried that that associated club will try and and swoop.

For example i can imagine if an indigenous kid is playing well for the Oakleigh chargers then Collingwood will be trying to worm their way into his head...

Or have I not got the Next gen rules right?

Nah Collingwood can’t grab them, same situation was with Lachlan Johnson even though he went to Oakleigh in his draft year he didn’t fall under pies nga.

I think that it depends how long they live there. Plus I'm unsure if Xavier is part of their zone.

Thank the footy lords that Hirdy made sure that we got froggy to 100 games, could be the best thing to come out of 2013. Where did he spend a majority of his game time.. forward pocket?

Yeah mostly forward but got a taste in the midfield in the last quarter. Both sides where stupidly talented, put the Eastern and Gippsland 16s I watched on Saturday to shame.

Vic underage footy is going that way. Sandy and oakleigh absolute powerhouses with the amount of talent they manage to get their hands on these days.
