Is it ok if I include Boyden George (S/Kalgoorlie) now that he is playing for Oakleigh? Or is that WA bias?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

He's a welcomed in.

 

[tigs2010]

No. He's a Vic now.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I know it's weird barracking for 2 sides but CARN THE FALCONS and CARN THE LIONS.

Koby, Thatcher and Antonio, time to show the selectors you're worthy of the underage spots in next year's U18 carnival.

 

[Futbolista]

No. He's a Vic now.

I've made Boyden WA. You Vics can't steal him...lol

 

[plays tall 1]

Futbolista, what’s your assessment of the relative strength of this draft crop? I appreciate plenty will change between now and their draft.

Futbolista, what’s your assessment of the relative strength of this draft crop? I appreciate plenty will change between now and their draft.

The top end, say 1 to 19 looks really good. After that I haven't really seen any players that stand out but I'm really hoping that once more players are introduced into the colts system the list should fill out and be pretty good - certainly better than 2024 but maybe a tad below 2025.

But yeah I really need a greater sample size of the players 15-60.

 

[Futbolista]

Some good names coming through in this 2026 WA list.

Tazzi Faithfull (PT) Tasmania must select this guy for the Tassie faithful

Harvey Spawton-Guy (WP) He's a sportin' guy and is also very good at cricket.

Adam Schmechtig (S) I don't care what anyone says. I'm going to pronounce his name schemetic.

Jamayson Ketchup (P) No mustard needs to be added.

Hurricane Clark (S) I hope he has a whirlwind ride into colts footy in 2025.

D'Andre Jazyk-Cox (CL) Brilliant, stylish!

[Futbolista]

I thought I better refresh my memory about the 2026 group. I saw some different things that I didn't notice before. I'm not sure that it was a HUGE upset as stated in the title but I guess a win over any Vic side is an upset of sorts for WA.

I tried a Tasmanian national Pastie from the supermarket the other day. Best pastie ever.

But there is always a role for Ketchup and I hope Jamayson Ketchup (P) can play a role in 2025.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

A lot of NGA boys in this group
