Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion

[bmaurizio]

How does Ben go down back? Would he be a reasonable option to replace JGM as a potential future FB, hopefully overthrowing Jones in a few years time?

Ben can interchange easily as Forward or Defense positions he's a quality tall in MHO. It's his endurance that needs work.
My preference definitely is Lukosius with a beautiful kicking action, intelligent footballer, an athletic beast able to repeat leading paterns, for a youngster just jaw dropping.

 

[bmaurizio]

Got confused I was describing Ben King and then got distracted with my favorite player in the 2018 draft after Rankine.
Ben Silvagni is passable at a bargin price, I'm sure we can find a spot for him somewhere.

hmmmm interesting considering key position players may not be required to run up both ends of ground in coming years. Having endurance for such players looks like going very soon as a need. Good news in an indirect way.

Hunter, Walls, Gould, Michael James, Bradley and Buckley. Oh wait a minute...

 

[El Topo]

we were so optimistic last year about the 2018 F/S crop...BSOS, Hickmott x 2, Manton...

Jake Bradley cooked a mean snag at the sausage sizzle once.

 

[FairKouta]

Think a King brother plays full forward so has to play down back again.

Well don't they want to see a king brother down back. Actually let him play back we will get him as a rookie. SOS again

I am still optimistic specially BEN big boy strong hands good field kick. Needs time in the system

 

[DangerousD]

How has Hickmont been going for WA? Previous reports have him finding a bit of the ball and having a crack, just making the state team for the champs shows he is on the right track, hopeful he gets picked up and his brother comes across to play for Northern, any chance of that?

How are the boys from our next gen academy going, haven’t seen anything posted for a weeks, there was promising signs.

Check again: people who actually had a clue were only big on BSOS and Will Hickmott, and not much has changed in that regard.

Still tracking OK, Northern had a bye the week before last. Brazier's getting used all over the place, while Mitch Wild is regularly racking up touches now.

Needed to kick them instead unfortunately.

 

[Pafloyul]

Ben out injured, hopefully not too bad.

 

[mediumsizered]

Although not an eligible F/S, I will be watching Lachie Sholl's efforts with great interest in Sunday's game. Has consistently been one of Calder Cannon's better players this season.

 

[ferrisb]

Silvagni
Carlton father-son eligible
Plays school footy til draft year
Natural forward, but played down back at u18 champs
Spends some time injured in draft year

 

[TooBlue14]

Brazier scores again for northern knights again. Should be a handy freebie with Wild.

Can you lend a few words as to the type of player he is?

Position, height, weight, plays like, strengths, weaknesses?

Thanks in advance.

I don’t really know much apart from what I’ve researched. Named in bests in 4/8 games for knights. Kicked 15 goals. Averages about 13 disposals. 14 contested marks across the 8 games. 26 uncontested. Averages 4-5 tackles too.

Has been playing midfield after being a forward. I’m not a track watcher just follow twitter and read a lot of news about our future prospects.

 

[thylacine60]

Brazier scores as Neymar faints.

We're real sorry about the 93 GF post-mortems. Please forgive us Lachie. It was a different time, and all those BigFooty posters died of shame years ago anyway.

Sunny Brazier - Forward for the Knights, presents a target but doesn't offer much up the ground IMO, good contested mark though - from pie 4 life

Knightmare thinks brazier is a better forward than both Silvagni boys in particular his contested marking.

 

[TooBlue14]

Liam Hickmott 20d 1g 6t today in Subiaco win. Not named in best. Will with 16d, 4m, 9t.

And this should be able to be worked on under development in a professional environment.
Isn’t what academies should be for in gaining access to the talented kids, then selecting if notable skills on display & hone their skills into AFL players.

Just shy of 6'4", good on the lead, good contested work. Seems to be a medium utility with some scope.

Do you know what his HSC scores were?

Thanks Jim
