U18 Champs U18 Champs Round 2 - Allies v Western Australia (June 11, 1205pm)

[eDPS]

Haven’t seen anything that makes me think Dan curtin is a top 5 pick though.

He has done his part to help shut down Walter but also use the ball very well when he has it

But top 5 is a big call.

But top 5 is a big call.

Big key defenders with versatility and elite ball use aren’t easy to find, great overhead with a strong leap aswell helps his case at the next level. Certainly no top 5 lock but still has a case for it.

 

[Jazny]

I haven't seen much of Callinan this year, looks a nice kick what type of player is he?

Small forward.

 

[Keystone agony]

Serious talent on this Allies side

Walter
Sanders
Mckercher
Rogers
Read

The obvious but also

Osullivan
Gothard
Callinan

And i also like
Gander
Graham

Hard to not see any of those listed not on an AFL list next year unless under age

Thoughts on the relative game of Connor O'Sullivan vs Dan Curtin? And hence relative draft value?

 

[Futbolista]

No shame in WA being beaten easily in the midfield because the Allies have a far better midfield group but this WA field kicking, when they do get the ball, is dismal to say the least.

O’Sullivan is rising like a bullet, both are currently in my top 10 but need more games to really seperate them. Both have some great qualities and could just depend on which one a club wants more. Keep in mind in this game O’Sullivan isn’t really playing on someone of note and Curtin is playing on a potential top 3 caliber player.

Curtain’s game getting a bit undersold here. Walter has been unstoppable for the most part of this year and Curtain is holding his own with very little support.

Curtain also has plenty of physical development to go.

He isn't just holding his own he is besting him so far imo. Great game from Curtain

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

A very nice slips mark and goal from Xavier Walsh there.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Jeepers, that is a nice mark from Charlie McCormack. He could be one to watch later in the draft.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

McCormack with yet another mark! A very nice kick from Rogers to find him.

 

[Giant Strides]

He isn't just holding his own he is besting him so far imo. Great game from Curtain

Trying to drive Walter's draft position backwards a bit, eh?

But I agree, Curtin's played well. So has O'Sullivan. Walter's still played well IMHO, but a nearly game so far.

McCormack has a very spindly physique, but just taken a couple of fantastic grabs.

 

[Lingsface]

Good ruckwork by the West Australian ruckman has to be a potential 1st rounder?

 

[Andre the Giant]

Charlie McCormack will look good for the Orange team! Joe Dirt come on by!

 

[Giant Strides]

The Allies coaching team has done an excellent job in creating a cohesive unit from game 1. Of course, assisted by having some great talent across the whole ground, but certainly able to put together a good gameplan, especially their running game at times.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Look at that from Ryley Sanders!

 

[Jazny]

Sanders! WOW!

 

[Lingsface]

Where do they predict sanders to go? Top 20 must of jumped 5 places today.

Top 10

 

[Giant Strides]

Allies 16.12.108 d WA 2.8.20

Allies 2-0 to start the champs.

Colby McKercher 40 disposals, Ryley Sanders 39 disposals. (P.S. McKercher in jersey #22 in second half.) McCormack 4 goals, Walter 3 goals, Callinan 3 goals.

 

[Futbolista]

Inside 50 count almost even. Allies showed how to hit targets or kick long to advantage after quarter time. WA butchered almost every potential easy kick hit up they had forward of centre.

Lot's of draft stocks took a hit.

Honourable mentions to Curtin, Torrent, Edwards, Sanchez, Hardeman & Kelly.

 

[SSSSSS]

Gee might see Eagles go early on Curtin.

 

[Freezin]

Gee might see Eagles go early on Curtin.

They will probably trade the top pick for 2 inside the top ten maybe....Curtin and Edwards maybe?
