Saw him on Wednesday he played mainly down back. Nothing special IMO he seemed to lack pace, his disposal was ok and he didn't really impose himself on the game. But maybe he had an off day it was only one game. He's still our scholarship player maybe worth a rookie selection.

I think we get first dibs on putting him on our rookie list if we want to, but he can turn the offer down and go in the draft if he thinks he is good enough.

Having said that, watched him on Wednesday, he looked ok, but not up to AFL standard, so I dont think we will have to worry about it

Bump.

Anyone know anything more about this kid? Should we offer him a place on the rookie list? haven't heard much about him for awhile

Edit - Sorry, bumped on the wrong board, can a mod move it to the drafting board please

Looks like Ted got the chop.

He was on his last yr as a scholarship player and wasn't transferred to a rookie spot prior to list lodgement 1 (last Friday).

As it now stands we don't have any scholarship kids.

I don't think we ever embraced the NSW scholarship with any great enthusiasm. Like the idea of recruiting Irish footballers, the cost factor ruled us out when we were struggling financially. I think the Northern Territory (where we will be playing some home games in the next few years) is going to be one of our targeted areas in the short term.

Which has to be a great thing WJ.

You'd think that with the inception of GWS in 2012 that the NSW/ACT talent would have been well tapped into anyway going forward.

I hope so. I think it would be a better decision than going to the rugby states or internationally at least the people from the Territory know and understand the game as good as anyone.

The system is finished, with Greater Western Sydney coming into the competition... Any NSW scholarship players, if not selected by their club, will play with the West Sydney team in the TAC cup next season, and all players in the area, will be zoned to West Sydney...

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
