Under Age U17s - 2027 AFL Draft General Discussion

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Well considering EF futures beat Peel's futures by 70 odd points, Peel's half back flanker Jett Edwards had plenty of opportunity to rack up the stats with the ball permanently in EF forward line....though 43 possessions is a very good effort at any level of footy. ....leather poisoning or what for the youngster?

I think Perth's futures went through undefeated this year, so will be interesting to see how many get the nod in the 16's state squad. from Perth..I think EF futures lost once, winning a few games by 10 goals plus, and youngsters in Artemis, Edwards, Hannaford, Baker and Richardson might be pushing for state selection.

Baker didn't make the 16's. WA talent managers overlooking proper ball winning midfielders again.
 
WA 16's squad up on the wafl.com.au site. Perth and East Freo providing 6 players each, with 3 more EF players on the train on list. Only know a bit about the EF boys, would be interested on thoughts from others in the know about the rest of the squad.

Good to see Gordon's brother get a run.

Plus only 11 selected from the u15s team that just won gold. Big names left out would have to be Mitchell baker, Jett edwards, Reid Foote, Kade Carthew and Hunter Bewick. Is this the same thing as 2011 when they left out Dim sheed, Patrick Cripps and Nick Robertson from 16s after they won gold

Eli wasn’t named for Kew this afternoon so wasn’t sure whether they could do both. Or a choice depending how they feel given it’s the next day.

ETA: but he is the runner in this Kew game
He wasn’t allowed to play if you play APS he says

He also told me there is another vic metro trial game in May. He's not confident about making it given he didn't play that well last time.
Vic Metro cut from 48 to 38 on May 8th. They have a 2nd trial game on May 18th where I assume they play only 24 players (with 14 being automatic selections). Another 10 to be cut on 19th May.

Final squad of ~26-28

This age group seems to have a lot of talent, so those that miss out will be unlucky.

I know a lot of the team lists are incomplete...but I counted 20 of this age group playing APS firsts on Saturday...

Great effort. I guess we'll know a lot more after the Champs.

From a Vic Metro perspective, I'd still keep a close eye on:
Stratford
McCollough
Bond
Campbell White
Flower
Bakoulas
Adams
Alexander
etc

probably a bit higher rated than Rooks, Djordevic, Kravic, Bullock, Summers and Gentner (who is this? - wasn't in CTL this year?)

It is bit of a guessing game until u16's basically just going off the past and the 2 CTL u16's games.
Get more of an idea once u16's starts
