NSW Trainee?

Can anyone remember who our NSW trainee is?

They're old enough to play U18's Nationals and I wanted to see what he's like so a name would be greatly appreciated.

Teddy Strudwick

http://www.northshoretimes.com.au/article/...446_sports.html

here is an interesting article about him

http://www.essendonfc.com.au/northshore2003/news.asp?nid=184

this site says he is playing off a half forward flank...

out of interest, from that club along with teddy, mathew long got signed with freo and simon davies with essendon. must be a bit of talent there...

 

Does anyone know the rules regarding this scholarship deal? A few questions I have about it are:

- Are we only allowed one kid on a scholarship at a time?

- If we are only allowed one scholarship recipient at a time, are we able to sever ties with them whenever we like (for instance, if we identify a player we deem to be a better prospect)?

- The article mentions that clubs will have the first option to select them at the rookie draft. Is this like a father/son pick where we would use a pre-determined draft selection, or does it work another way?


Pretty sure Collingwood are making a joke of the NSW trainee system.

Offering family holidays to the best NSW kids so that they sign with them...

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
