Has he got much of a leap?

we pray he has a massive 2026 (and we still get to take him)

What an incredibly unneccessary thread bump!

just thinking about our lack of small forwards and something to keep an eye on for 2026

his year is going to go one of two ways next year, he'll either drift into the abyss and maybe crop up at casey in '27 as a 23rd man whilst playing overage CTL or he'll shoot up boards into mid second round contention as one of teh most dangerous smalls his age

If he kicks on next year Prasad will shape up to be our 3rd small forward drafted in 2 years. Fingers crossed he will land in the 2nd round so our two firsts can remain untouched.

or, alternatively, his under 18s season is so good that we're looking for ways to manipulate the draft as we're premiers, gc17 finish wherever they finish, and we're accumulating enough points to match the expected top 5 bid on prasad

I would be surprised if Prasad comes for training in December and January.

do you mean you WOULDN'T be surprised?

i expect he'll have some 'train on' experiences with the mfc given that he's in our academy

based on this he might be small but his craft, skill, and speed may make up for it

looks good from both an attacking and defensive mindset

Looks good, but after drafting Trelly and Tommy Matthews, our small stocks are looking pretty healthy.

If the coaches rate him though, I'm sure we'll find a spot for him.

You can never have enough small forward depth - let’s hope he’s a gun and he can light it up with Trelly and Matthews for years to come

Marcus played for the Dandenong Stingrays this weekend, had 20 possessions, 3 tackles and kicked 2 goals.

One to track.

Another one to watch is Corey Ah-Mu (2027 draft) who, unlike his brother, will be eligible for our club as an NGA. 16rs old and 193cm, kicked 2 goals and had 11 disposals.

He’s the one to definitely target.
