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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
