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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
