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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
