Anyone know how Lalor went against BGS? Or Finn O'Sullivan against Hailebury?
Because their Coates league teams don’t spend $30,000 on their scholarships, the schools do, therefore that is an obligation. Teams don’t gamble picks without seeing the kids, scouts are at most if not all the school footy matches. For some, school footy is now over and they can represent their catchment areas in rep footy for the rest of the season.I've been pressing this topic in another thread recently - it seems like such an unfortunate situation when these top draft prospects need to consistently play school footy over CTL.
For one thing it's frustrating from an online nuffie lay-scout perspective - where we would get reports/stats/vision it's more or less just a mystery.
But more saliently, surely it affects how the draft plays out itself. Like, I'm bullish on Lalor, and it seemed as though if he could continue to replicate the kind of game he had for the Rebels a month or two ago he'd be a good chance to push into the very high end of the draft. Almost always (unless they're injured all year or something) the highest selections have shown a run of exposed CTL (or formerly TAC) form in their draft year. And why wouldn't that be the case? - you need that assurance to spend a top 5 pick on a guy.
And so, despite his potential, presumably Lalor isn't going to go quite so high off the back of pretty much just school footy.
for anyone more knowledgeable than me -- am I wrong here?

Probably wasn’t going to impact on who won the competition. I’m only guessing at that.Yesterday some of the PSA schools in WA released "some" players to represent their colts team despite the school not having a bye (or so it would seem)
Not sure I've seen that happen before?
I understand that the obligation exists, that's not my point.
Are there examples of recent very high draft picks whose exposed form was pretty much entirely school footy?

Not sure how Simon accessed these stats, but he's a reputable figure in the Richmond nuffieverse. APS level obviously not the same as Coates but there's some talented players playing school footy on these scholarships.
Since the tweet he's had a game where they drew and was named best on for Geelong Grammar. Can't find anything from the game today.
I agree, as a nuffie it's extremely frustrating, I feel like Lalor is seriously trending up after this injury. Not even stats-wise, he just looks the part. For Vic Country despite having smaller disposal games he was making a massive impact, mainly playing inside the forward half. I think he might end up top 4.
It's not free AFAIK $$$$'s, available at different prices depending on what you want access to is my understanding.Is it possible to sign up for it without being involved in the comp?
Elwood peckett had 25 and kicked 5.2 for Dandenong against the bushies as well. Some massive games this weekendChristian Moraes had 27 and kicked 5 goals in yesterday's game v Jets
Can't quite figure out if you're actually a parody account.Travaglia again goes big. Surely top 5 lock now
Will was an early year birthday, finished his school commitments as a bottom ager and then played an entire Talent League season (or was it still NAB League? whatever) with Sandy. Also played a number of VFL games with Brisbane Lions.Will Ashcroft another - Brighton Grammar from memory.
You don't think he can go that high?Can't quite figure out if you're actually a parody account.
Strange that he never won the Morrish medal in 2022 playing 14 games t isn't it?Will was an early year birthday, finished his school commitments as a bottom ager and then played an entire Talent League season (or was it still NAB League? whatever) with Sandy. Also played a number of VFL games with Brisbane Lions.
FFS this bloke, if its not enough he is desperate for praise on our board, he is now fishing on the main board. Enough already mate. Give it a rest.Don't forget I was one of the first to Jack Ough. Good to see others getting some enjoyment too.
Um, no!Travaglia again goes big. Surely top 5 lock now
So the most in the know person has him at 8 and I say he can go 3 places higher and I’m wrong? Haha it’s ok to admit I know more than you guys.Um, no!![]()
