State Schoolboys Under 15s

[SAINTS 4 07 FLAG]

Hey guys.
Just wondering the importance of the above event to you, or what you think it would be to recruiters. Three boys from my footy club made it , and did quite well. One even got AA.

C.Chalmers - Goals : 10 Votes : 13
B. Antonio - Goals : 7 Votes : -
J.Regan - --

WA1 lost the one game, to Vic Country, in the final game.

All the results are there. Interesting to see a Hansen in WA2, possible relation to Lachie.

I know it's early, but I will guarantee you , at least one of those boys will make AFL.

Good event, School Sport events should be interfered with more by the wider sporting governing bodies like the AFL and Cricket Australia.

Adam Carter, WA's vice captain was runner up player of the carnival and made All Aus. Younger brother of Mitchell from South Fremantle. Big call but Adam is the best footballer I've seen at that age personally. On par if not better than Kane Lucas at that age.

Brendon Lim from Hale was captain also a very good player.

Its usually hard to tell how well these kids will progress but you generally find that the best 2 or 3 players from the likes of WA, Metro and Country end up getting drafted a few years later. You only have to look at the boys who make All Aus from WA most of them end up getting drafted, with a few falling off the radar. It is a long time in teenagers lives between 15 and 18.

Who were the Vic Country boys who made the all australian team?

Carter can play,
His penetrating kick reminds me alot of Alex Fasolo from East Fremantle.
But will he just drop off the radar like mitch?

 

[bjlucas]

Are you sure that is the website, cause it dosen't work

 

[SAINTS 4 07 FLAG]

It was the website

I will try and get the full team.

Thats the right website

 

[JohnnyMacIntyre]

Adam is a very different player to Mitchell. Smaller quicker, a genuine mid that can go forward with a real flair for goals and as you said, penetrating, a damage causing player. Not dissimilar to Fasolo in playing style but I think better.

Contrasts Mitchell as a nullifying defender/mid, both with similar kicks. I wouldn't say he's off the radar after getting a state screening invite, had an interrupted start to the season with injuries, although isn't quite as prominent as he used to be. Still highly rated within recruitment circles.

Does anybody have the all-australian team from the championships?

You get this, by going to the schoolsport website, and looking under, sports information, then aussie rules, then scroll to the bottom for all australian teams and photographs going back to 1991.

Thanks mate

 

[Team Mo']

wow there are some great picks in there. More then half of the 2005 got team got drafted but only a handful from the 98 team. Wonder if it was better slecting of the side or better development on the chosen kids...

Adam carter was not actually runner up b and f.
Tom Thorsen from Vic Country won on 21 votes.
Then Brendon Lim from WA runner up on 20 votes.
Then Clay Cameron from QLD on 19 votes.
Voting for 2009 are found here

geelongflag09, the WA votes have to be wrong. It says Carter got 0 votes at all, yet he made All Australian. I know he received a signed Brisbane Lions jumper signed by all the Perth born Lions players for being WA's best player so I would think Carter was the boy with 20 votes. Going back through the other link he was in the best far more than any other WA boy.

Adam should have definitely recieved more votes.
He did win best and fairest for WA,
but maybe umpires saw it differently than coaches..
Jaeger O'Meara was also a standout who made All Aus aswell.
Probably should have recieved more than 12 votes from the umpires..
your views?

 

[JohnnyMacIntyre]

All Aus is based on the umpires votes though... I'm not sure how the votes could be so wrong. I'm pretty sure Lim is meant to be on 12 votes and Carter 20. Rundle in the 2nd WA side got 5 votes and it also says on their page he got 0 so not sure what's going on there I think the votes for some of the kids have been put in the wrong rows. There's no way Carter could've got 0 votes and made all aus.

If O'Meara is the kid from Perth I watched him last year in the WAFL 14's carnival and thought he was awesome. What sort of a role did he play in the carnival?

Ohhh nah thats not how it works.
The 5 people named after each game under the "best" category are the best players according to the coaches point of view.
The J.L Williams Medal is awarded on the umpires votes by a 3, 2, 1 system. These votes are not displayed on the websites.
Like the brownlow, they are sealed after games and opened at the closing ceremony.
For example Tom Thorsen, the winner didnt get many of the coaches votes, but from the umpires votes, he had the most.
Also the case with Lim, only named by the coaches on the match report in the "best" category on one occasion.

Im pretty sure the All Australian Team is nominated by separate selectors, who look at boys who are mentioned by the coaches and make their decision.

Yeah O'Meara is a Perth boy, and outstanding player.
In the carnival, if i am not mistaken, i think he played mainly around the ball as a centreman.

 

[James_Hutchy]

gdghg

 

[Ablettttttt!]

i would say very little importance is put on the carnival, things can change massively over 3 years even 1 year. I do remember that when i was in under 15s some kids who made the state team couldn't even get in the try outs at under 16. Ridiculous to make any claims about how good a player is gonna be at senior level after watching them at an under 15 carnival

Yeah you've basically got it all.Except that the votes are tallied and can be seen on a website at the end of the carnival as it is also printed into the end of carnival report.

All Australian always throughs up a few suprises as it is decided by a panel of "selectors" as do the umpire votes as they often give votes to last quarter efforts.
