Perth colts also good display against Subiaco Aidan O’Driscoll clean and damaging as usual, small forward Bobby Warrell caused headaches for Subiaco’s backline, Coen Livingston also important.  Oscar Dees and Luka Kentfield Subiaco’s best

Surely we have to recruit this guy!

He's going to look terrible in hawthorn colours. Everyone does.

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

I’d be keen to keep pick 8 ( Freo to finish 11th🤣🤣) and pick 18 ( Dees to win the premiership 🏆🏆).  Two young midfielders to be added to our group with foresight of list management in years ahead.   We seem very well covered in other areas. Will Lorenz, Cooper Simpson and Darcy Wilson would be likely types in the Dees mindset come November.

Jacob Grant from the Dandenong Stingrays is one I like. 191cm utility, raw, and loves the contest.  Brother was training at Casey last season.

Prepare the eggs. My face is ready. This kid has massive bust written all over him.  Daicos and Ashcroft were 30 to 40 disposal a week, fitness freaks with clean disposal.  They were a class above. 

All I see repeatedly is a kid who wants to take on tackles. He will last about 6 minutes when he doesnt see the extra tackle coming at AFL level and get pinged.  If thats his 1-wood, buyer beware.

ATTENTION DEMONLANDERS.

We are all officially in the absolute sweet spot of supporting this club. We can peruse top 5-10 draft talent while ALSO being a realistic chance at a flag. It wont get any better than this for us.

Just on that Video, Moir looks great and that 50m both feet kicks is special.

Also Archer Reid a quick 201cm key forward, good below his knees, could be a very good 3rd key forward for us.

Plenty more to see and exciting times ahead.

[Adam The God 30,539]

Moir looks like a right footer that can kick well on his left foot based on that limited footage. Not too dissimilar to Gus.

There’s a game on today at Mount Barker that’s part of the Gather Round festivities involving the AFL Academy players which will help sort out the main contenders for this year’s draft.

2023 draft guns on show in AFL Academy v Port Adelaide SANFL clash

AFL Academy guns set to take on Port Adelaide

[Blistering 541]

The article says -

“The match will be played as a curtain-closer to the round five AFL game between Brisbane and North Melbourne at Adelaide Hills (Summit Sports and Recreation Park, Mount Barker), commencing at 4pm ACST.”

According to my fixture, the Brisbane vs North Melbourne game starts at 1:10pm which makes that game the curtain raiser.

Was thinking exactly the same thing. He won’t have the luxury of breaking tackles with that frame in the AFL.

Good year to have two top 5 picks

Geez, Harley Reid appears to have been adjudged consensus bog for the underagers despite only playing three quarters, and only the first half in the midfield.

The kid looks to be a rare talent.

Thanks Chaser. It's an interesting read. A few players to follow over the course of the year.

Lets hope he can hits more targets on his left than Gus does

Watching Rachele over the weekend and thought WOW how do we get one of them. His type would compliment our mids perfect.

He's a beauty mate. A high end talent who's been performing consistently well since a young age.

Son of Wangaratta Rovers legend Mick Wilson, and his mum and grandmother are also netball sporting legends. So the football and sport pedigree is strong in his blood.

The rate that he's going it wouldn't surprised me if he sneaks into top 10 calculations or 15 at best. A very professional kid who is pretty driven to succeed at thr higher level and I think the big watch will be his form with Vic Country later this year at the championships.

His under 16's year was pretty dominant and played as an inside midfielder as well as stints up forward and back. He's got a lot of Trent Cotchin like traits when he's in there so in terms of elite midfielders at junior level this year he's certainly right up there.

Don't let his skinny frame put you off. Started playing senior ovens and Murray football at 16 years of age and fitted in seamlessly against hardened bodies.

His work rate and ability to get up and down the ground is pretty insane for his age. He's just a ridiculously hard worker on field.

Type of professional kid you'd love to bring into your club culture in terms of on field/off field work ethic and professionalism.
