U18 Champs Round 4 - Vic Metro vs SA

[Hutchy Jnr]

Nathan Kreuger SA NU 41 - Looking great up forward for a big man at 196.
Rated his contested marks so far, looking lively up there and with a dislocated finger too.

 

[TigersMP4]

Stephenson and Rayner 4 goals each so far 5 minutes left in the 3rd

 

[TigersMP4]

Make that 5 for Stephenson, what a game!

 

[Baird]

Nice to see Stephenson live up to his hype

 

[Andre the Giant]

Stephenson has the lot, would take him Pick 1 in a heartbeat. Rayner too has an AFL game.

Lukosius will be a special talent....these top talents just have time, strength, balance and composure.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Stephenson got his 5th from a left foot snap from the boundary and also has 22 touches!

 

[eDPS]

Stephenson best on for sure, there is a reason he is so highly regarded, special player

 

[aussierulesrules]

Whoever plays Hawthorn for the rest of the year, please win!

 

[TigersMP4]

Not sure i've seen a carnival game dominated quite like this.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Lot of similarities between Sutherland and Lukosius IMO.

Edit: Playing on each other now.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Bloody hell, Balta can move, and kick!

 

[TigersMP4]

Watching as a Tigers fan was hoping to see a better showing from Naish. Needs a lot of work defensively. Hopefully he slides through the first round and we can pick him up cheaply.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Coffield is a good size. Did I read somewhere that he runs a 2.89sec 20m?

 

[footy24seven]

It's unfortunate for Vic Metro that with the last games having a 'final ' squad so many talented players miss out on the last 2 games. Such is VM depth that any of them could slot in at any time. Hopefully the AFL recruiters look beyond the current 25.

Always a good draft when vic metro has depth

Good win for Vic Metro. Rayner and Stephenson the clear standouts.

SA (top agers):
Harrison Petty- Down back another great performance off the back of the Allies game last weekend. A real general back there. Probably best on today for SA. Intercept and pack marks, tick and tick. Went forward in last quarter too.
Alex Martini- For mine didn't stop working all day, kept running and running. Up against a tough mid line up from Metro, I felt he did well enough. A real pressure act player. Courageous Player.
Nathan Kreuger (mentioned him above) - Great first game. Marking was fantastic especially his contested stuff. A left footer too. Second efforts were tops. Real promise- looking forward to seeing his Vic Country game.
Stefan Giro- Ball magnet but not sure about his effectiveness another 20 plus game but some are very cheap possessions with not much purpose. Finds the ball no question.
Jackson Edwards- Found the ball again today, Nick Dal Santo said he had some Simon Black about him. Obviously a lock for the crows come draft time under father-son but none the less a solid midfielder in this draft pool.
Mitch Crowden- Some turns and spins today to show his ability at a small 175cm midfield. Big boy and barrels into packs hard. Left peg is effective too.
Bryce Denham (ruckman nu 2)- Did some things today to help his draft chances in the ruck stocks. Matched up well on Hayes at times. Only 194cm though.

Metro (top agers):
Cam Rayner- Well probably best performed player out of the two games today. LDU vs Rayner for pick 1 this year and I think this game he could possibly be favourite now. Tackles to kill that guy, beast. Looked superb up forward. Larke Medal probably his now.
Jayden Stephenson - Welcome to the championship big fella. Back at his best this afternoon. Cut SA up through the middle of the ground. A goal kicking forward if Ive ever seen one. Break through game and would assume to see most phantoms have him well inside the Top 10 now. Big game player.
Sam Hayes- Probably won the ruck/key forward dual today against the highly touted CCJ. Will be the first big man taking I believe now.
Will Sutherland- Went through the mid today. I was hoping to see him really dominate up forward- still waiting?? The hype around him is too much.
Jack Higgins- Dangerous game as small forward. Got a fair a bit of the ball in the first half. Finished with almost 30 touches I believe.
Charlie Constable- 20 plus for him today. Pencil him for first round in the draft. 190cm mid.
Tristan Xerri- More forward today looked agile at times. Did go through the ruck and won some HO. His size at 200cm is great and appealing for clubs. Ruck work can come potentially for him.

Ps
Izak Rankine is a freak. Look out 2018. Rozee and Lukosius right on heels for pick 1 of 2018.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Good win for Vic Metro. Rayner and Stephenson the clear standouts.

You'd be licking your lips with pick 1!

You'd be licking your lips with pick 1!

Still 9 games to go! Still holding out hope we avoid the spoon although pick 1 is always a nice consolation prize

 

[eDPS]

Who wins the Larke at this stage? Higgins or Rayner most likely

 

[Cleric]

How did CCJ go?

All the stats from the game

How did CCJ go?

I thought he was quiet.

Don't rule us out.

Rayner for mine after todays performance. I feel LDU is closer to the silverware than Higgins
Between LDU and Rayner
