Thanks WJ great reading, top effort here, well done Vic Metro. Also great to see some of those famous names coming back, something for us all to look forward to!!!

After watching the last 2 rounds of the under 18s and ranking players, I think MFC would have slim pickings for their 2nd round choice.  With GWS having 4-5 academy players likely to be bid and claimed by GWS, MFC likely 2nd round pick gets shuffled down to around pick 30-34 depending on our final position.

Having looked through the likely draftees, possible selections would be:

ruck - Tim English

mid- Dylan Clarke

key back - Sam McLarty

Five talking points: The Under 18 championships

A little snippet from the National Under 16s championships. Jimmy Stynes' nephew - Sam Stynes - is representing Vic Metro. Sam is the son of Brian Stynes but unfortunately not a father/son chance (Brian was about 99 games short).
