Defensive coach for our AFLW team and he did a bang up job. Also listened to a few of his talks to the team, great communicator.

His next move will be to be poached by GWS

It's a joke Mr Crate , but that's what they tend to do

 

[Membling]

Have a feeling it will be a wild ride for all the northern academies.

Ah well.

Asides, will be watching Hitchens, Harrison and Cochran as players who look most likely for 2024 at this point in time.

Harry Macguire originally from academy is off to Port Melbourne , he won the SFL best and fairest last season

Early days yet I know.

They won't name them to the day , it's only match simulation , they don't have to . All they might say is the players that are rested

TOP 5s | 2024 Preseason Testing - Giants & Swans Academies

Bit more on ones to watch (at this point in time)

*measurements are out of date as they are pulled from last years official stas

2024:
J. Cochran - 195cm well performed KPP, however looks better down back. Played in futures game last year as a KPF
J. Harrison - midfield who is industrious. Able to be played anywhere to a good level which may actually hinder his development.

2025:
Max King - 193cm tall but... plays as a mid currently. One to watch out of this crop but who knows.
N Chamberlain - 191cm KPF. Hard worker with a good set shot
L. Carmichael - intercept defender who can wrack up possession and uses speed from conjestion.

He's listed on the Academy Summer Series list as an U19, so might be sticking to Academy and local footy?
