Sorry I missed this.

I got put off my asking about this kid as someone accused me of being his dad (which I am definitely not). Thought he was very solid in the half of Colts game I watched and someone today told me they watched his school game and said he played a cracker for Aquinas this weekend. And also Curtain (also ‘04) for Scotch. I know they’re televised but I don’t have time for that.

I watched the PSA game and would have to agree, Cleaver was very good. Wouldn't say he's a dashing half back but very composed and a lovely kick. Also think that Max Mumme (Grandson of WAFL legend Les) should be looked at for the draft. Slightly undersized yes but he just looks a class above every game he plays and always hits the scoreboard too, could play a similar role to Luke Breust IMO

How did Warner and Motlop go? Mumme would be similar size to Warner yes?

Motlop looked dangerous through the middle, very evasive at stoppages and Centre bounces showing explosive speed. Don't think he has the tank or polish to be an AFL Mid tho so I'd rather see him spend more time working on his forward craft, looked at his best with that 12 goal game last year as a small forward. He missed a few straight forward set shots in the last q that could've made a game of it.
Warner similar size to Mumme yes, he kicked a good running goal and goes alright in the middle but he's definitely more of an outside mid. Doesn't have the grunt or size like Chad but good foot skills. He'd be lucky to get drafted I reckon, doesn't quite have the POD over other outside mid prospects.

17’s squad minus some PSA players V EF Colts. Their squad have about 30 players and will play 3 trial games to help determine their travelling team in July. PSA kids will miss one of the three games each so they can play for their school that weekend.
19’s- another 30 odd players added to their original squad and will be playing each other on Saturday. Original squad only had about 20 odd kids so the extras needed to be added to ensure a suitable opponent. One would assume all named PSA players will play in this as this squad are effectively a step behind the 17’s and this squad needs to be expanded and finalised at some stage so they can start training prior to the National carnival later in the year.

I would like to see the squads with the additions. Hoping Richard Farmer is one. Lightning footwork. Beautiful sidestep. Great energy. Maybe a bit small for AFL though.

Tyzreise Clark is another Subi Indigenous lad who is impressive.

In fact Subi have some outstanding Aboriginal colts this year - Farmer, Clark as mentioned......Ezekiel Bolton, Cruz Woodley, Tyrell Dewar, Robert Hansen Jnr, Lance Collard and Tennessee Kickett...just a matter of fitting them in when available.

Thanks mate......much appreciated.

What is the cut-off age for the final squad? Is it 1-07-2002 or 1-01-2003?
Click to expand...
No worries. From my understanding, the 19’s are anyone born 2002 and 2003.
The 17’s must be 2004 and maybe 2005 born?
It’s always been year of birth- the June cut off applies to school years.
 
It confuses me......some of the 2002 kids have gone up to reserves...like Lachlan Vanirsen....while Avery is still playing colts as an overager. Avery in, Vanirsen not. Seems a bit messy.

Subi have another one as well Clinton Colbung very very good basketballer and footballer plays as a 198cm forward with time in the ruck
Pretty special kid but needs to decide on footy and start training with subi colts team regularly.
He is a huge unit, but moves incredibly well, and reads the play well.
If subi colts coach can get him to commit to footy and get him training every week, needs to loose about 2 or 3 kilos.
They will have a very very good footballer Stephen Michael like talent, this kid.
Very rare to get a Indigenous kid his size and footballing ability.
Get him away from basketball and get him commit to footy and just play him at colts level clubs will drool over him.

I think Clinton Colbung would have to lose about 10kg at least.

Hope he gets there.

Looking at his stats from WABL, his stats are very underwhelming.

Only playing 18 Division 2 isn't a great acheivement.

197cm isn't big in basketball.

At his height he needs to have a 3 shot and be extremely athletic.

That's why Luke Jackson gave up basketball.

Luke Jackson was a starter for Australia at the world champs.
