I saw the Vic country v metro game and players that really caught my eye were Toy, Scully, Kobe Stevens and Gary Rohan.

- Toy: will be a very very very good footballer...at the gold coast. i wish he was eligible this year. would take him ahead of butcher in a heartbeat

- Scully: enough has been said about him. natural footballer

- Gary Rohan: his ranga hair certainly caught my eye! not much has been said about him, but i loved the way he attacked the contest, presented, disposal was fine - ticked all of my boxes

- Kobe Stevens: I think he is a pretty safe bet to be at least a good footballer.

I didn't have the list of player numbers on the day, so there were others i liked/didn't like but i just don't know who they were

Posted
Crikey. Good work cooko.

haha thanks mate!

- Gary Rohan: his ranga hair certainly caught my eye! not much has been said about him, but i loved the way he attacked the contest, presented, disposal was fine - ticked all of my boxes

sounds like he would fit perfectly in our team considering we are collecting rangas! (Bate, Cheney)

Just to look at him, he doesnt look like a footballer but the guy is a gun. The two things that stand out about him are his tackling, and his ability to keep his feet. He is a very strong player and some of the individual efforts I have seen from him this year have been very impressive.

Posted
If i had to call it now with the little amount of info I have on all players I would say; Scully, Trengrove.

Yeah i agree JA. At first i was on the Butcher wagon, but i have jumped ship and im now on the Trengrove wagon. A goal kicking midfielder

DAM!! just has a skim through...not eligible for this year. We will get him next year when we finish 16th.

Kidding!!!!

Gold Coast can develop him and when he wants to come home he can play for us in a premiership team. :)

Here is an idea on who is eligible for the 2009 DRAFT from cooko's leaderboard so far at the halfway mark of the U/18 Champs - I can't yet confirm for Jolly (SA) or Gaff (Vic Metro) whether they are eligible for this years DRAFT. Anyone else ?

Leader Board - how many times mentioned in best....

Swallow (WA) 3 - eligible 2010 DRAFT

Trengove (SA) 3 - eligible 2009 DRAFT

:lol: I like your thinking

Lets keep dreaming though....never hurts anyone.

Trengove is the best SA kid from everything I have heard and read, by a mile. If (probably not if but when) Port finish in the bottom five they would love to get him, but if he has another cracking two months, he might be heading to Melbourne or Perth. But all things considered, it's most likely that he will go to the SA team that has the highest pick, so will probably go top-6 or top-8 to Port. Meh, just my thoughts.

He is the talk of the time down here, well not quite but I have heard big raps on him. Will get more media attention the closer to draft time.

Hooper will be an interesting one too. someone described him as looking like one of those stocky, rough country football who'd give you one in the guts behind play. Certainly doesn't look like a 17/18 from afar, and is a short guy, but really dominated the game i saw.

Cheers mate. Typo. Also now have the answers for Jolly & Gaff. I've added in Matera from WA and Ben Cunnington from Vic Country who is apparently ferocious around stoppages.

Good raps on this Panos kid, If west tank eagles get pick 2 and pick up butcher, panos might come into consideration for pick 3 as he is a key forward.

if wce pick up butcher with pic 2 id defo go a midfielder with our next pic.

I heard he has really impressed a few recruiters so far this carnival. Given last year most would have thought because of his build he was no chance of being drafted.

I've seen him play a few times early this year and he turned over the ball over alot by foot on one of those occasions.

Yeah i agree JA. At first i was on the Butcher wagon, but i have jumped ship and im now on the Trengrove wagon. A goal kicking midfielder

I'm starting to join the 2 Mids Bandwagon. After seeing the game evolving recently, & watching the other "New Teams" strutting their stuff on the big stages, I think we're further off, In the midfield, than I previously had thought.

The young Carlton team & Essendon, Bulldogs, are all going to be hard running teams with flair.

The Saints were lucky the other night & Carlton are young & still with a lot of improvement to come as their bodies mature.

We don't have the required Run, Speed & Mobility, in our on-ball brigade, & so IMO, we need to grab not only 2 elite mids with our first 2 picks (1&2/1&3/1&4), but 2 mids who have decent Run & Speed.

I don't know yet if Trengove is quick enough but he does sound a topline player, but we don't need more like Mclean & Jones. But rather we need to compliment those boys with some inside quick ball winners.

Scully sounds right, + we need another, (? Christensen?/Bastinac?/Stevens?/Lucas?/Morabito?/Martin?/..this is the way I now hope we go.

Butcher will be a good player, I'm sure, but we don't want to find ourselves in Richmonds '09 position in a couple of years where we have most of the parts in place, Yet we can't reach the elusive elite Mids from that dreaded 9th Place on the ladder.

The time is Now to top off Our Midfield on-ballers with the Class that we need, (that which Carlton allready possesses). We'll get a tall forward with our 2nd rounder, & another if we wish.

I'm not convinced yet for 2 mids with first two picks - If pick 1&2 or 1&3. Although I see you're thinking and you may have swayed me a little.

However, I'm still keen on 1 mid/1 KPF. Riewoldt keeps reminding me of it.

Didn't the Connolly/Prendergast/Harrington/Bailey interview reveal we want an elite mid and a KPF

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
