SA won by 10 points, Welsh kicked 2, Draper played less than a half:

Scouting Notes: South Australia vs. Giants/Swans Academies

South Australia overcame a combined Giants and Swans Academy side in the first of its two Under 18 trials. We took note of the top prospects.

Should we be making Dyson Sharp our main target next year?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

The Giants/Swans certainly have a big advantage if they can get a strong performance like this against SA's finest kids.

Might be time for the AFL to clip their wings a bit. They have too big an advantage at the draft.

AWOL?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

No idea if he's any good but the Walk Like An Egyptian kicking action is elite

After a pre-season injury sidelined him for the first couple of months of the 2024 season, Sid Draper finally made his much awaited return over the weekend in a trial match for the SA Under-18 team against a combined Swans and Giants Academy squad. Drapers minutes were significantly limited here, playing only parts of the first two quarters, but he showed enough to get draft watchers excited for what he might produce when the Champs kick off in a couple of weeks.

Still working his way back into game shape, Draper had a much stronger outing in the second state trial match for the U18's. He played in shorter bursts and spent plenty of time on the bench, but ran out the full game and was influential, although he noticeably tired as the game went on.

 

[Mutineer]

Good looking team though very surprised Benny Barrett (small forward/mid) has been overlooked.

I'd also have found a spot for WWT tall forward Charlie West on the bench with his contested marking ability but I guess SA has a riches of tall forwards this year, probably gets a gig next game with the likely MSD drafting of Noah Howes next wednesday.

I suspect our mids will be roving to a beaten ruck because I'd be expecting Allies/GWS Academy ruck Logan Smith to monster Ryan Borlace.

Noah Howes in the team is interesting, don’t think there’s been a player that’s played in the champs and been on an AFL list in the same season before lol

 

[Mutineer]

Teams in for Tomorrow...

At least Benny Barrett has made the emergency list now...should be playing.

Draper very quiet by his standards again up to half time today, Ben and Lucas Camporeale along with 2025 prospect Dyson Sharp easily SA's best. Welsh 1 touch but again no footy being directed at him, looks to be playing permanent forward pocket.

Sydney and GWS Academy lads standing out for the Allies 190cm marking forward Josh Murphy, mid Leonardo Lombard and Ruckman Logan Smith. F/S Jobe Shanahan also doing well...none of whom we have access to.


Half time
Allies 47
SA 35

Didn’t know Shanahan was FS?

Didn’t know Shanahan was FS?

My mistake I was thinking he was Jamie Shanahan's son.

 

[Mutineer]

Better quarter by Tyler now up to 4 touches, a goal and just set up Noah Howes last goal.

 

[Crowman32]

Sharp is so impressive especially for an underager.

 

[Mutineer]

3/4 time
Allies 9.7
SA 9.7
Better quarter by the SA boys, small forward Roosters Evan Bradley now up to 3 goals and Redlegs Jacob Newton 2 goals.

 

[ContrarianCrow]

Better quarter by Tyler now up to 4 touches, a goal and just set up Noah Howes last goal.

Got robbed by the umps of a really strong pack mark as well.

 

[ContrarianCrow]

GC look like getting another academy gun in Leonardo Lombard as well.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Bradley would be one I’d like looking at if we can trade back into the second/third round after the Welsh bid

Some real talent at ground level
