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:

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:

http://www.sportingpulse.com/assoc_page.cg...sectionID=54973

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
