2013 West Australian Draft Prospects

Greg Clarke is the best WA prospect since Ben Cousins.

If he plays in the 18's carnival, he'll be WA's best, will make Sheed look like a foot soldier.

Yeah Clark has state 16's duties this year.

It's very unusual to have a player make his colts debut before his 16's development squad debut.

Having said that, Ethan Burnett, who you would all know from the WA 15's side last year, was named in the initial colts squad for last week as well but due to injury didn't take his place in either the colts or 16's sides.

Unfortunately Abraham Kennedy (WA state 15's 2012), Jayden Gerrand (Aust Boomerangs 2013) and Matt Sargeant (Potential state 16's 2013) are probably unlikely to play any Dev squad games to to injury. A shame, for WA's chances in the national championships as well as Subi - but that's footy.

The 16's carnival booklet is available online with the full squads, DOB's etc here. Handy for future reference. http://www.wafootball.com.au/resources/cat_view/122-talent
 
South Freo for a third colts? I'm a Bullies fan so I'll take it. But who are some of the Souths boys, of the last few years, who are/are going well in the AFL?

West Perth boys that are going good are Nick Robertson (AIS squad) and Blake Acres (u18 1st intake squad)

Thanks for that, i keep on saying i will make it down for the Colts to Arena Joondalup before the Seniors, but never get around to it.

Have watched bits and pieces of the 16's though, if they are on after the seniors.
 
Wood bagged another 5 this morning, want to see if he can back it up against some genuine competition against Souths and Claremont. Rhys Mcallister is very clean and clever forward of the centre, played a really eye catching game.

BOG for me was Josh Deluca, got some Grant Birchall about him, not ready until next year.

Kennedy did a shoulder.
 
Arthur Bennell booted 5 in the reserves. I know that he's been on the radar of clubs ther last couple of years, very talented footballer, would like to see how he goes at league level.
 
Went to Swans v Claremont this morning.

Coniglio and Law worked hard inside and showed good speed on the outside. Both are genuine short people though.

Grescos showed a bit, shut down Alec Waterman pretty well in the first half. Didn't track him later on.

Abbott looks and moves like an AFL footballer but his finishing needs to improve for someone who consistently goes after a free lunch.

A second look at Byrne makes him look a little too heavy and his kicking wasn't as impressive today.

Darcy Cameron was excellent around the ground, with marks forward and back.

Jake Anderson has a motor and leg speed but he over kicks the ball consistently.

Silent Alarm will be happy. I did notice Steven Edwards but he didn't jump out at me.

Jarded Hardisty, Sam Bevan, Harrison Court, Ryan Lim all impressed as underage talents. Harry Taylor wasn't to bad either.

Grescos strikes me as this years harry marsh. probably does his best work as a big bodied, clerance mid. but is more often than not played on the half back line.

does anyone know when the second intake will be? it's usually around mid April?

will be interesting to see how many bottom age prospects get picked up, the '95 group seems a little thin without hogan and martin.

Reckon that's a very fair call, not too many big bodied defenders for Swans, as a result Grescos is forced behind the ball, he's a very good reader of the play and a strong mark.

Would love to see him play onball for an extended period.

2nd intake is in the first couple of week of April with induction night on the 21/4/13
 
What do people think of Thomas Shanahan of East Perth? He has been racking up some quality numbers.

seen all of easts games so far and like him alot.

had a bit of a down game versus peel, but in the other 2 games has been very solid. has excellent kicking skills, and whilst he isn't blessed with pace, never seems rushed with the ball in tight spaces. also nice overhead.

he's probably easts best prospect at the moment along with ridley and hodgson (excluding jones and chatley)
