Agree with all of that. But the framework of a footballer is there.
Good shout, he reminded me of Mitch Georgiades a bit as well.
We desperately need this type in the forward line.

We desperately need this type in the forward line.
Ok getting in there early with this, but is the top 10 of this draft good enough to trade into?
I suspect Gold Coast will be trying to push their 1st pick back, being as they will pretty much only take Academy talent this year, so is it worth our whole trying to bring our 2024 pick into the top 10 this year.
Of those that you know about (that should go top 10), are there any worth pulling that pick forward 1 year?

Follow up to this, named in the SNAFL u18 squad leadership that you would assume the bulk of would make up the National Champs squad.
One to watch at the carnival.

Not behd, good size.
Probably top 10.
The champs will sort a lot out ,it is really open this year .
Moir was touted as a certain number 2,but he has been very underwhelming in the two academy games.
GC will take Walter .
According to Eddiewood ,the Eagles IF they get pick one might be open to trading it,with GWS in the box seat.
5-15. If he gets more midfield time like he did in 2022, I think it's closer to 5.
For me, he is a better prospect than Matt Jefferson who went at 14 last year.
Allies squad. First training a week before first game.

You've really opened my eyes @eZyT as to how lopsided the preparation is for the Allies.Allies squad. First training a week before first game.

They barely know each other by the first time they go against mobs that have had training camps, three trial games and squad training.
A lot of the champs matches are one on one,they may implement some small structures across the lines ,but most of the time the Champs are a good guide to drafting.
Daniel Curtin is one player who could be anything, tall midfielder, tall forward or intercepting defender. He's top 5 for mine, possibly even pick 2.
I think were seeing the no1 pick dominate SA here
Jed Walters.
Hes like a cross between charlie curnow, nick reiwoldt and danny rioli.
His speed and defensive pressure is breathtaking. Then he hits packs like jon brown. Completely selfless - happy to block and shepard and lay off goals.
Riley Sanders and Colby Mckercher look top 10 to me also

Its offset this year by having 10 afl academy players who have trained and played together all year.
But most years its a joke
The Black Hole Suns will be licking their chops. Walter, King and Lukosious projects as a super-dangerous, complementary triumvirate. Walter the lynchpin, allowing King to do his preferred lead-and-lurk thing, and Lukosious third tall excellent at ground level. If they'd kept Rankine that would be the best forward line in the comp by 2026.
Edit: Throw in Humphrey, who looks a star, and Holman, a great blue collar foil.

So the Sun's academy player rules are different to next gen academy rules and they get access to player regardless is that correct?
Yes, all the northern academies get access no matter what the pick is. NGA's, no access in the 1st 40 selections.
Yep they cant pre-list them anymore
bid will come for Jed walters in top 5,
And suns match with picks 55,56,67 and 99
Their Academy prospects are the Same as a father-son i think
Itheylle trAde out their first pick this year
Riley Sanders BOG in first champs game up to 3/4 time (im switching to tigers)
Has the huge arse and rough head of the modern mids
Usual knock is his damage, but hes been pretty destructive today.
SA look as poor as Allies look good.
Vics are gonna have to pull out all their administrative tricks to stop this Allies side.
Might have to get a mobile coldroom for Allies changerooms and get Josh Caddy and Nick Watsons dad to umpire
