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.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
