You'll have a whole potato field in the small forwards, but the famine won't be in Ireland this time!

Unfortunately didn't get to see young Harry last weekend. Heard he did some nice things though. Bushrangers vs Bendigo this weekend should be a fun watch though! Walker vs Dean for Blues nuffs like myself.

Ahh, that is a good crop. But I do wonder if we can fit them all in!
Won't be Bedford, Daniels or Jones to be prised out. Unlikely to be Thomas, the academy kid.

We've got a similar army of Betts, Murphy's and Walkers hopefully on the way.

2028 is reopened and has been for a while.
I feel most clubs will have a lot of kids, if they start putting money in to their nga academies.
The WA clubs could rival GC's academy, if they run theirs the same way. Especially West Coast, with the money they have.

Hopefully I can lift the spirits of the Carlton faithful a little after a tough loss with a look at their father-son Harry Dean who had an excellent first up game to kick off the new Talent League season. With his team getting badly beaten through the middle and facing a lot of clean football coming into the Bushies defensive 50, Dean stoop up to the onslaught taking a number of intercept marks and effecting spoils. Dean was even disruptive at ground level and showed a willingness to put his body on the line.

Cody Curtin has grown over the summer and is looking large and in charge against his Colts opponents. Peel tried to make his life as difficult as possible, dropping a spare man back at times to block his leading lane or double up on him in marking contests, but Cody still found ways to hit the scoreboard and ended with a bag of 5 to his name. His size, pace and power were especially evident in his ferocious pressure acts which at times led to him giving away free kicks but which suits the requirements of a modern key forward at AFL level.

I had other requests for his game last week but there were too many strong first up performances to get to them all. I'll fit him in at some point, if he keeps putting in 30+ possession games then it'll be soon but if not I'll slot his game 1 into one of the many break weeks in the calendar.

Another excellent performance from CDT as he continues his hot form to start the new Talent League season. He was more effective in the hitouts this week, regularly setting up his small brigade to break from stoppage, as well as showing his typical fantastic ground level follow up work himself. It was encouraging to see him anticipating the play and taking a few intercept marks which was one area for improvement in his game. He sat out the last 10 mins of the game with his team well on top, otherwise his stats would have been even more impressive.

A slightly slower start to the season for Emmett although this game was more impressive than his modest stats would suggest as Emmett sat out the entirety of the fourth quarter with Oakleigh dominating the game. Emmett showed his natural forward craft, finding space and presenting into the right areas for his teammates. He took some impressive contested marks, and could have had more if it wasn't for his teammates spoiling him and a dodgy umpiring decision on the near wing. It feels like it's only a matter of time before Louis has a huge game to remind everyone of his talent.

Josh Lindsay put together another solid performance for the Falcons although his role in game continues to be a watch. Like last week he started in the middle and struggled both to impact at stoppage and find the time and space to maximise his lazer of a left boot. He was moved to his more customary half back role in the second half and started to dictate play with some superb playmaking including one elite dart into the corridor that led to a goal for his team. But just when we thought that the move onball might have been abandoned after only a game and half, Lindsay was back on ball for the final 10 minutes of the game.

Sharp started this game like he played last week, looking a little hesitant and only managing to find scrappy, relatively ineffective possessions. Either he or the coaching staff seemed make an adjustment in the third term as he was pushing higher up the ground almost as an extra midfielder and suddenly he was cracking into the contest and stoppage with decisive and powerful movements, extracting the footy and setting up his teammates on the outside.
It's time that we saw Sharp get some run as a primary onballer to maximise his talents.

Even considering the relatively weaker SANFL U18s competition, this was one of the best junior performance I've seen. Dougie slotted 6 majors of his own, set up a number of others for his teammates, took contested marks, laid tough bumps and tackles... what can't this kid do? There were several moments that I had to rewind to check that I did actually see what I thought I saw.

A quieter performance this week from Willem, but he still played his role and impacted the contest in a good win for his Power team. He started deep forward this week and might have spent a bit more time there than on the ball. His cracked in hard in contested situations and applied strong defensive pressure as always, the main concern again was his disposal efficiency which he struggled with, although once again it was a very windy day which made things difficult.
