Our one and only NSW scholarship player Ted Strudwick is listed for the NSW/ACT Rams at Casey Fields today. Other clubs have already drafted some of their boys. Collingwood has about six of them including Scott Reed who is apparently a gun. It'll be interesting to see how our boy goes today.

So how do the scholarship scehme work?? Do we have first option when he is eligble for the draft?

Well, anyone on "Strudwick Watch" will be happy to see this, from the NSW/ACT AFL Website.

Excellent news.

Strudwick Nominated for NSW/ACT Rising Star Award

02/07/2008

The Round 11 NAB Rising Star nominee is North Shore’s Teddy Strudwick.

Following a strong pre-season which saw Teddy selected in the NSW/ACT Under 18 Rams squad, Teddy has cemented his spot in the North Shore senior side since his senior debut in Round One.Teddy was a member of the NSW/ACT Rams Under 16 state team in 2007 and was also a member of the undefeated North Shore Wildcats Under 18 Premier Cup team from last year.

The youngest player in the North Shore side, Teddy has played consistent football on the wing using his pace and long kicking to deliver the North Shore forwards many scoring opportunities.He is a NSW Scholarship holder with the Melbourne Football Club and no doubt the Demons would be happy with his progress from under age footballer to senior footballer.With Teddy still eligible for Under 18 football in 2009, there is no doubt he will have his sites on securing a spot in the 2009 NSW/ACT Rams Under 18 team, and his form this season has given him the best platform to put his case forward next year.

Teddy’s dedication and hard work make him a worthwhile nomination for the Round 11 NAB Rising Star

Good stuff. Hopefully we've picked a winner.
