Does anyone know if we are still linked with this youngster (from the NSW scholarship program)?

He should be eligible for the draft this year if memory serves me correct

    I don't think Melbourne embraced the whole NSW scholarship thing under CAC and now that there's going to be another team in Sydney I doubt whether it's going to last much longer. Some other clubs already have NSW players on their lists while others have players who are doing well at the Under 18 championships. It looks like another area like overseas recruiting where we've missed the boat because we don't have the finances, the imagination or both to get involved.

    He appears to be playing seniors in the Sydney AFL Comp.

    Article in today's Age on the NSW / ACT U18s:

    http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/youn...0444439215.html

    Doesn't mention Teddy Strudwick however lists him as our only NSW Scholarship player, as opposed to other clubs who have up to 4, a couple of famous footy names in there too.

    He is listed as being part of the NSW / ACT U18s squad:

    Good to hear they got through to the Div 1 playoffs, hopefully some reports on him become available after those games.

    NSW/ACT SCHOLARSHIP-HOLDERS

    Adelaide: Sam Martyn

    Bris Lions: James Brain, Jack Lawson

    Collingwood: Scott Reed, Nick Perry, Thomas Young

    Carlton: Joshua Fenaroli, Jake Pianta

    Essendon: Benjamin Simon, James Webster

    Fremantle: Matthew Long, Max Wilson

    Geelong: Kale Temple, Ranga Ediriwickrama

    Hawthorn: Michael Johnston, William Sierakowski, Trent Stubbs, Thomas Kickett

    Melbourne: Teddy Strudwick

    Port Adelaide: Jordan Johns

    N Melb: Lachlan Pryor

    Richmond: Harrison Lee

    St Kilda: Joshua Duncan, Kane Murphy, Blake McGrath

    Sydney: Ryan Bottin-Noonan, Jay Lewis, Matt May

    West Coast: Anthony Stubbs

    Western Bulldogs: Braedon Jones, Chris Ogle, Daniel Lloyd

    I notice that we are one of the few clubs that has only one scholarship holder on its books and that Strudwick didn't even make the cut off for the NSW team for the championships. Another good example of our recruiting capabilities over the past few years.

    Given pretty much everyone will have silky skills, I think Teddy will struggle with the physicality of the game at senior level.

    Also, I have watched these players following for years at junior level up here and offer the following:

    Will probably make it on to a list:

    Scott Reed (Coll) Very fast, good aerobically, probably tall enough by now and has a great vertical leap. Question mark over kicking accuracy.

    Ranga Ediwickerama (Geelong) Ball magnet midfielder who always gets to the right place. Good skills and very good athlete.

    Could make it on to a list:

    James Brain (BL) fearless and hard at it, good skills. Footballer more than athlete.

    Josh Duncan (St Kilda) ditto above. Inside midfielder from Pennant Hills.

    Max Wilson (Freo) big basketball convert. Will need to be super big to make it.

    Trent Stubbs (Haw) Good athlete and good body shape.

    Of the others, either I have not seen them or they will have to work very hard to make it on to an AFL list.

    Some of the next generation to look out for (currently U15):

    Jackson Potter - as good if not better than Keiran Jack or Jarrod McVeigh at the same age (ironically, they all come from Pennant Hills AFC).

    Aaron Duncan - plays outside more than his brother but teams very well with Potter.

    Damon Steer - has a good footy brain and developing well athletically. Will need to find a yard.

    Rory Pryor - a massive unit with terrific skills.

    Just my opinion.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
