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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
