All the interstate boys I'm keeping tabs on, particularly the ones who looked good at Champs. With the Champs going, I'll be tracking them, but I'm not going to shove them in my top 30 off one viewing

But seriously, yeah Kennerley is one that showed signs, I get the feeling SA might do a WA from last year and have a fair few more up in that R2-R4 range than first anticipated.
Even with his injuries, Bonar was touted as a top 20 pick. A number of recruiters were seeing if he could stay fit, and if he could, the GIANTS weren't the only club keen on his services and willing to use a R1 on him.I did last year after seeing Aiden Bonar against the Rebels at Mars....Just screamed WOW factor.
Yeah it's why Blakey chose Sydney - they live there, the families are there, it's the most convenient. If the Academy wants them, it makes sense. I think Scott will be R2-R3 to be honest. Good tough midfielder who had a good U18 Academy Series and can win the footy, but I'm not entirely sold on him. He can make poor decisions at times, such as handballing to a teammate under pressure. Nice roost on him, and can play forward or back. He's got some improvements to make to his game and given the bid usually comes in after their value, I'd say more 35-45 bid if I'm honest, but depends on how he goes this Champs.
Okay last post, just didn't want one gaping one. The f/s ones, again names thanks to Cal.
Tend to agree. Only one I think might as mentioned is Silvagni, and then unsure about Crocker given his unfortunate string of injuries. The rest are so-so and pretty much down to the club taking them if they want.
Good job by Cal to miss him haha. Yeah he's clearly their top one then.
Well they're different players, and neither really set the world on fire in the Under 18s. Jake Kelly was always that player who showed the odd signs but I personally didn't blame Collingwood at the time for not taking him. It was hit or miss, and that's how they saw it. I think much of the talk around Will is because of the success Jake has been despite not showing a great deal at Under 18s level. Athletically, Will is good, can play key position and obviously either end. So he's probably more versatile than Jake, but also more raw in many ways. He's the kind of player that I think the Pies will take as a rookie, because he's that 193cm that could grow an extra couple, but again, I wouldn't be *shocked* if they passed on him. There's a lot of romance around the father-son selection, but as we saw with Jake, the Pies will pass if they do not think he's good enough. But in short, he's more versatile and taller, but probably a bit more raw, but probably doesn't have that capability to develop into a midfielder like Jake could in time if required. But it's a long way to go.
The few times I've seen Jack Bytel play live he's always impressed me more than Rylee West especially this year's game at Mars where he also looked alright with his forays forward. I'd love to get him over to Adelaide with our Carlton 2nd round pick.
It seems like he's pretty underwhelming as a prospect, any idea why Cal Twomey would put him in his team of the week on future stars?
And Cal just loves him some Victorian Private College boys...I wouldnt really worry alot about things with Twomey, He had patrick Naish just about all year last year between 12-18 even though just about everybody who ever seen Naish play thought he was extremely outside and light and wouldnt go before 25 bt Cal had him top 15
He relies on the Info he gets from certain clubs watchers and they are not always accurate specially early in the year
