[DTLSchulzy16]

If another of these big dopey key forwards kick the ball out on the full by 10m again…

If another of these big dopey key forwards kick the ball out on the full by 10m again…

Archie Ludowyke needs to work on his goal kicking, don’t know why he’s rated so highly?

 

[Membling]

Not sure either side have much defence or contested edge to them this year.

Ball zipping about with minimal pressure

 

[bulldogs201616]

Don't no much about the draft other then Duursma and Sharp been high up there. But if Dalton isn't a top 5 pick then it must be a good draft.

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

The masses look like geniuses now with team Heppell kicking the last 5 in a row. Not that it actually matters

I’m sure we’ll get stats soon

 

[EricCartman]

Josh Lindsay for Heppell?

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

wasn't playing today as he got concussed earlier in the month, but I think he will be a very high pick.

 

[PMBangers]

Archie Ludowyke needs to work on his goal kicking, don’t know why he’s rated so highly?

Because most people don't identify talent and just parrot opinions

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Some very good WA boys next year

Freo have a beauty in Toby Whan that left foot is deadly

Charlie Banfield is so so clean and doesn't lose his feet loving his development got
better at end of this season

Wes Walley looks classy

Sam Swadling believe he will be the best wingman drafted from WA since Stephen Hill

Is Josh Lindsay related to Xavier Lindsay ?

They may be cousins? Josh plays for Geelong Falcons.

TEAM HEPPELL​

JOSH LINDSAY

20 disposals, 7 marks, 2 inside-50s, 3 rebound-50s

A rebounding defender from the Geelong Falcons, Lindsay won the best-on-ground medal for Team Heppell. He provided some good run and rebound from half-back, with his kicking a feature of his game. Of his 20 disposals, 18 were kicks – the most of any player on the ground.

OLIVER GREEVES

31 disposals, 7 marks, 3 clearances, 5 inside-50s, 3 rebound-50s

A big-bodied midfielder from the Eastern Ranges who measures 191cm, Greeves was the leading disposal-winner for his side. He worked hard and got to where the footy was, with his clean hands around the contest also a feature.

DANIEL ANNABLE

27 disposals, 5 marks, 2 clearances, 5 inside-50s

A Brisbane Lions Academy member who shapes as a top prospect for next year, Annable worked hard and found space. He spent time through the midfield and across half-forward.

TOM BURTON

26 disposals, 4 marks, 4 rebound 50s, 1 clearance

The Western Jets midfielder finished as one of his side’s best players, showing some good contest work, providing some run and using the footy well.

WILLEM DUURSMA

20 disposals, 8 marks, 3 inside-50s, 3 rebound-50s

The younger brother of Essendon midfielder Xavier, Carlton AFLW defender Yasmin and North Melbourne forward Zane was thrown around a few positions and showed his versatility. He started down back and took a couple of intercept marks, along with pushing up the ground to get involved in the play. In the last quarter he went on ball and won three clearances.

LACHLAN CARMICHAEL

18 disposals, 8 marks, 5 rebound-50s

A Sydney Swans Academy member, Carmichael spent the day in defence. He provided some good rebound and used the ball well. He was particularly prolific early, gathering eight disposals in the opening quarter.

CODY CURTIN

18 disposals, 6 marks, 2 rebound-50s

A 197cm key defender from Western Australia, Curtin is the younger brother of Adelaide young gun Daniel, who was the No.8 draft pick in 2023. He was solid down back throughout the game and won a lot of the footy for a player of his size.

CHARLIE BANFIELD

14 disposals, 6 marks, 3 goals

A father-son prospect for West Coast as the son of two-time Eagles premiership player Drew, the 188cm forward showed some great signs. He kicked three goals during a big second half, which also included a nice contested mark in the fourth quarter.


THOMAS McGUANE

6 disposals, 4 marks, 2 inside-50s

A father-son prospect for Collingwood as the son of 1990 premiership player Mick, it wasn’t a huge day out for McGuane to end an impressive bottom-age season. A week after playing in a senior premiership for Keilor, the Western Jets product managed only six touches spending time across half-forward and half-back.

TEAM SLOANE​

BEAU ADDINSALL

34 disposals, 5 marks, 5 inside-50s, 2 clearances

Wherever the footy was, the Gold Coast Suns Academy member wasn’t far away. The midfielder gathered a game-high 34 disposals to win his side’s best-on-ground medal, with his ability to spread from stoppage and find space unrivalled. He was also tough around the contest and got involved in plenty of possession chains through his 19 handball receives in a free-flowing contest.

ZEKE UWLAND

22 disposals, 7 marks, 7 inside-50s, 2 goals

Another top Gold Coast Suns Academy prospect, Uwland is the younger brother of current Suns player Bodhi. The midfielder spent the game playing a half-forward role and had some big moments, including a huge left-foot goal from 60m in the opening quarter. While he also made a few mistakes, he works hard and laid four tackles, while that left foot is a genuine weapon.


JACK DALTON

21 disposals, 4 marks, 4 inside-50s, 1 goal

A midfielder from the Sandringham Dragons, Dalton produced another good performance a week after winning a Coates Talent League premiership. He found plenty of the footy across half-forward and snapped a lovely goal on the run in the opening quarter, but missed a couple of other opportunities in front of the big sticks.

RILEY ONLEY

20 disposals, 7 marks, 3 inside-50s, 2 clearances, 1 goal

One of the better players for his side, the Murray Bushrangers midfielder is certainly one to watch for next year. He found a lot of the footy and kicked a goal on the run in the third quarter.

DYSON SHARP

17 disposals, 5 marks, 4 clearances, 4 inside-50s

The top prospect from South Australia in 2025, the inside midfielder showed some good signs. He thrives on the contest and had more contested possessions (10) than anyone else on the ground. Some of his clearance work was also impressive.

COOPER DUFF-TYTLER

13 disposals, 3 marks, 10 hitouts, 4 inside-50s

A 200cm ruckman, Duff-Tytler moves and finds the footy like a midfielder, which is why he’s being referred to as a ‘Unicorn’ at the Calder Cannons. He led the way in the ruck, showed incredible athleticism with his work around the ground and has a good leap. He also took a nice contested mark in the second quarter. An exciting prospect indeed.


LIAM HETHERTON

10 disposals, 8 marks, 2 inside-50s, 3 goals

A 195cm key forward from the Murray Bushrangers, Hetherton finished as the equal-leading goalkicker on the ground with three majors. He presented well and took some nice marks, including one contested.

KALANI WHITE

7 disposals, 5 marks, 2 rebound 50s

A father-son prospect for Melbourne as the son of former Demons ruckman Jeff, White featured as a key defender for his side. It wasn’t a huge day for him but he showed some good signs, including a good contested mark early. Measuring 198cm, White is also part of the Gold Coast Suns Academy.

Obviously didn't know that Mcguane had gastro yesterday and was managed through the game. Played only 20 mins.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Sharp barely got out of second gear for mine, he's pretty banged up after a brutal finals series against men. Certainly wouldn't read too much into it. Did what he had to and still managed the most contested ball I see. Seemed to rotate from fwd to mid to back quite a bit. He looks for and thrives on contact which this game didn't have much of.

Burton is the one that impressed me more than anyone else with his run.

Looks like the Allies will have a very strong team in 2025 with Queenslanders Uwland, Addinsall and Annable leading the way. Would be an enormous effort for the Allies to claim a second national championship in three years and would really hammer home the point that the game is currently experiencing huge growth in the northern states.
