Player Watch Zemes Pilot - Port Adelaide NGA

[Boak10]

I’m at Eagles vs South U16 game

Zemes has 3.1, 16 touches, 5 clearances
Good game right?
It’s Half time

He could have had 4, but teammate marked on line rather than shepherding through.

Taking the piss
Running bounces galore!

So zemes definitley NGA?

If he has Indigenous heritage as has been stated in this thread, and with the August 2024 rule changes, lives in the South Adelaide zone, Port Noarlunga, South Adelaide is one of our 4 sanfl aligned clubs, then yes we have NGA bidding rights to him.

However Tassie are coming in and will probably have U/17 player rights so he would have to reject that Tassie offer to be free for the 2027 draft.

Who knows what the rules will be in 2 years time given Tassie's entry will affect things.

 

[Boak10]

Ended up with 32 touches, 4.4, 9 clearances

296 ranking points - that might be an all time record

Bring on 2027 draft!

If he is that good then he should be playing U/18s soon, and maybe higher before the end of the year.

If Zemes picks footy over basketball, Port could potentially be spoiled for in the KPP department in a few years time.

15 years old still and still has room to grow. Very exciting prospect potentially.

Was he playing on ball? They're phenomenal figures.

 

[davesnothere]

Just looked then. ****

That is simply ridiculous.

Zemes 9 hit outs McGregor 18 hit outs for South in ruck.

 

[davesnothere]

Zemes may need his own thread at some stage. Dougie has his.

 

[Addy23]

I can't remember where I posted it, might have been in another thread. But for those asking again, Cal Twomey has said that he believes Zemes Pilot is tied to us

[davesnothere]

Looking around there's couple tick tok videos of Zemes about.

I'm impressed by how confident and well spoken he is.

They've staggered the Under 16s and 18s out over the week day evenings this week for some reason?

He and Dougie not going around until later in the week.

 

[davesnothere]

How is this kid still in the U16s

Exactly

I want to play the theme from Shaft every time he kicks a goal.

Is this the fella that may choose basketball though?

Is this the fella that may choose basketball though?

Yes - But players these days rarely if ever choose basketball.
Far too hard of a market to crack
