There are quite a few numbers in that list missing or duplicated. @Whispering_Jack must have had a liquid lunch or it's already beer o'clock.

James Jordan Player bio Former club: Oakleigh Chargers Age: 17 Height: 186cm Weight: 81kg Position: Midfielder A late starter in the TAC Cup competition this season, the Caulfield Grammar boarder from Yarrawonga showed by the end of year he has some outstanding attributes. Playing predominantly through the midfield and half-back, the versatile runner displayed good decision-making and ball use, while also playing taller when required. The draft bolter of Oakleighâs midfield started the game on fire, winning 10 first quarter possessions to be one of the best players on the ground early in the contest. He won two extremely clean ground balls during that period, releasing both to the advantage of his teammates. He was having a genuine influence, but certainly quietened as the match went on. He earned a free kick in the final term after putting his head over the ball, but was rarely sighted otherwise after the first break. He ended the game with a respectable 17 disposals and it will be interesting to see where clubs rate him, as there is certainly some talent.- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TOM SPARROW
Pick 27 after the Dees put a bid on Rhylee West, son of Bulldogs Legend Scott West, and the Bulldogs matched the bid. Player bio Former club: South Adelaide Age: 18 Height: 183cm Weight: 83kg Position: Forward 2018 U18 Stats Games: 4 Goals: - Avg Kicks: 7.5 Avg Marks: 2.8 Avg Hballs: 3.8 A medium forward/midfielder who is a super competitive with his ability to win the contested ball. He also has the knack of staying in the contest with his excellent recovery skills and agility. His leadership traits were constantly on show for South Australia in their 2018 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships victory. Averaged 21.9 disposals at Under-18 level in the SANFL. https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/how-tom-sparrow-rose-from-unwanted-to-bluechip-afl-draft-prospect/news-story/1c7898da027c13ec771a9c3857a0553b âHARD work beats talent when talent doesnât work hardââ. That is the famous quote from US high school basketball coach Tim Notke that is inspiring South Adelaide draft bolter Tom Sparrowâs insatiable appetite to prove his doubters wrong. Shattered at missing out on State under-16 selection two years ago and by again being overlooked for last yearâs under-17 SANFL futures game, the powerful midfielder is starting to reap the rewards for his manic work ethic by surging up AFL draft boards. From the small Adelaide Hills town of Scott Creek, Sparrowâs standout second half of the season at school and SANFL under-18 level has seen him draw comparisons to explosive Brownlow Medallist Patrick Dangerfield and emerge as a first-round draft smoky. âI was pretty devastated at missing that under-16 team because making that side was one of my main goals for the year,ââ Sparrow told The Advertiser. South Adelaideâs Tom Sparrow during the U-18s preliminary final between South and Norwood. Picture: AAP Image/Mark Brake âI was cut from it late and ended up being an emergency but I didnât play, which was really challenging. âIt really motivated me to work even harder to prove to everyone that I am good and dedicated enough to keep pursuing my dream of playing footy at a high level. âIn a funny sort of way it has probably helped me moving forward, rather than hinder me. âIt made me try to prove a point that I wasnât just going to go away or shy away from a challenge. âI used my favourite quote, âhard work beats talent when talent doesnât work hardâ, as inspiration to keep working hard. âI did a lot of extras and I think the only official training sessions I have missed since were when I was on a school camp to Cambodia last year.ââ While SAâs top 2018 draft prospects Jack Lukosius, Izak Rankine and Connor Rozee starred in the under-16 championships two years ago to lead the Croweaters to the national crown, Sparrow was at home thinking what might have been. He was pleased his home State âwon the chockiesââ but immediately set his sights on training even harder and turning his strengths â speed and power â into assets that would help him stand out from the pack. Now he is doing just that. Tom Sparrow takes a strong mark for Prince Alfred College. âHeâs become an animal, an absolute ripper,ââ said SA under-18 coach Tony Bamford, who had no hesitation in selecting Sparrow, 182cm and 81kg, in his AFL under-18 championship-winning side this year. âTomâs got that rare combination that every club wants â speed, power and endurance. âHeâs the type of player who wins the ball on the inside but is so powerful he can get on the outside and really hurt the opposition there. âHe is very driven, motivated, diligent and professional. Heâll not only make it as a long-term AFL player but heâll stand out in his first month of training because of his workrate and toughness.ââ Bamford said he remembers Sparrow, who this year captained Prince Alfred Collegeâs First XVIII team, being âreally, really flatââ when he missed State under-16 selection in the team coached by dual North Adelaide premiership player and former Crow Darel Hart. âI recall having a conversation with him and his parents and saying the only thing you can do from here is to prove the selectors wrong when you are 18,ââ Bamford said. âHeâs gone whack and done that.ââ While some recruiting scouts have compared Sparrowâs qualities to those of former Crow and current Cat Dangerfield, Bamford says he reminds him of Collingwoodâs Levi Greenwood at the same age. âI coached Levi at Port Adelaide (Magpies) and the similarities between the two are striking,ââ Bamford said. âThey are both tough, strong and combative, they look for body contact and are explosive speed and endurance athletes. âBut as well as Levi has done, Tom will be better.ââ Sparrow has heard the comparisons but says he is modelling his style on star Sydney midfielder Luke Parker. âHe's an inside mid who loves winning contested ball but can go forward and kick goals, which is what I like doing,ââ he said. Sparrow, who was denied a SANFL league debut with the Panthers this year because of school commitments, has been interviewed by 14 AFL clubs. And his phone has run hot with player managers wanting to sign him. âTo come from where I have, missing the under-16s and 17s (State teams), and to get drafted would mean a lot to me,ââ said Sparrow, who is an A-grade student eyeing an ATAR score of 90. âI want to make all my friends and family proud and prove to them that I am good enough. âI know they are already proud of me but to go one step further would be the cherry on top.ââ- Whoâs left?
