Under Age U17s - 2027 AFL Draft General Discussion

[Jen2310]

Can someone post the squads?

Should come out tomorrow I reckon.
The only one thats available is the initial one posted from june (which you can see from the quoted post), but they'll be some changes to it, like cochrane included.

 

[Jen2310]

According to the time on the stream for this multicultural/indigineous game -- Its now starting at 7:15pm. Not a day game.

 

[Haggas]

Looking forward to seeing some of the crop in next year’s futures game plus team names and coaches.

Hope they put Zemes Pilot, Louis Salopek and Tevita Rodan on the same team haha.

Surely Eli is in the top 100..
Feels like you’ve missed him somewhere.

A testament to how good this Draft class is

Yeah, its gonna be a super draft.
On the upside, looks like the pies will get him cheap; though I do expect he'll elevate himself higher come 2027.

It is hard to gauge because of how good it is. A lot didn't even play in the u16's Champs but played u18's in their state leagues

We could find clubs clearing the decks for list spots and picks, even with tassie. I think there will be good players for everyone in this draft. We may not know how good it is yet. Next year we could get an inclination.

Yeah hopefully gets better and stays a super draft. Probably will have the most picks ever mainly because Tasmania coming in.

It's a great effort (despite the WA bias )

Probably another 10 or so will come out of Victoria (at the expense of Academy teams)

Expect SA and WA to be strong as well.

For Vic: a few mysteries in there (Gary, Jenkins (?)...would be replaced by Hugo Timms and Koby McDonald

A few of the taller vic kids have plenty of upside (Mitch Upton, Toby Jeffs, George Holderhead, Eli Kravic, Lachie Alexander etc). Love Tanner and Noah being in there, despite not playing at the champs.

Still a lot of water to go under the bridge.

There are a couple 16 year olds in this game.

Didnt EFNL which is a lot of Eastern kids smash everyone in the U14 & U15 Interleague comp by over 100 points over two years in every game?

Yes they did...however, lots of EFNL play in different Talent League teams - eg Zane Adams at Oakleigh, Corey Ah-Mu and Louis Salopek etc
