Levi Ashcroft with Leon Harris at the game for the over-thinkers.

Still dont believe unless you confirm the color of mouth guard.

Sunny Coast kid, I think played for Kawana. Runs a sub 6min 2km time trial, didn't know he was tied to academy or even still playing footy.

Looks like he must be boarding at Melbourne Grammar and playing for Sandringham.

Similar to Caleb Nancarrow for the Suns.

 

[briztoon]

Going to add Sam Marshall as one to watch for next year. Bottom age academy prospect boarding at Melbourne Grammar and playing for Sandringham and our academy.

Inside mid who racked it up last weekend against Oakleigh.

They’ll need some key forwards as well.

Gold coast might draft Jed Walter and send him over with a first rounder.

Strong Geelong is good for AFL

Interesting game.

Not sure what Sydneysx team was like, but Brisbane rolled out 6 x 17 year olds in an u16 game

I have a son in this program, so careful what I say. But that wasn't anywhere near the best 22 kids out there from what I saw at a few practice games and training. Certainly don't think my boy should be there so its not sour grapes (he was also youngest in squad and 3 years younger than some selected) but seems loyalty to a zone plays way too big a role in the makeup of the team.

Some very good lads not playing (some injured) and some absolutely gobsmacking calls on who progressed to this point.

Great fightback though. Jack Harrison and youngster (2008 born) Matthew Owens very very good.

Cant see a 2023 Trade thread yet, so thought I d post this whch I saw on a Lions FB page:

The young Lion that should look for opportunities elsewhere

“The Lions said, ‘Stay’, but now he’s playing twos.”

www.sen.com.au

Probably couldnt blame seeing as how often he is dropped.

Pretty much what many of us have said for the last two years.

He's just going to be a foot soldier wherever he ends up

Could pan out similar to Keays

Years of dull debates about whether he got a fair go here? Yippe!

Yep all the while playing some average footy

Third in the Adelaide best and fairest not good enough for you. Not sure where this narrative of Keays playing average footy came from. Obviously from posters who were not watching the Crows play. A whipping boy not even at the club.

Guessing was third in Essendons B&F

Average footballers can do well comparatively in shit teams

Keays debate kicked off for the 4,326th time on this board.

 

[scoman]

It's a very similar situation to Keays really. Both naturally hard working, hard running mids played out of position most of the time at Brisbane. Debateable if we should/ should've given either a better run at it. I think Dev has actually shown more at AFL level than Keays did. Not that it means he will be superior to Keays if and when he finally gets a crack.

Keays is a good footballer imho and I am pretty confident Dev can/ will be as well.

Always happy to join in this one.

Would be nice if some of our academy KPP’s would stand up this year and next.

So far on form, I don’t have any looking draftable at this stage. Though I still believe in Billy Richardson as a KPD, just that he sees himself as a forward.

Our best looking draft prospects all appear to be in next years draft, and none of them play for our academy (full time).

Levi Ashcroft (Sandringham) father son.
Sam Marshall (Sandringham) academy.
Joe Kennedy (Gold Coast Academy) father son.

I haven’t watched any full games but going by the numbers and some clips I’ve seen Tom Gillet looks a decent KPF for next year in the academy. Pretty skinny at the moment but put up 23 touches, 8 marks and a goal on round one as an underager in a well beaten team. Then 17 touches and 1.2 in round two.

After someone mentioned Ryan Gilder as one to watch I tried to find some games he played in and thought he had some really good attributes as a KPD but unfortunately haven’t heard or seen much of him since then.

Average footballers can do well comparatively in s**t teams

or maybe he played the role the coaches wanted. It’s how the likes of the Big O and Rich finished top 10 for us. They aren’t our top 10 best players….
