Under Age U17s - 2025 AFL Draft General Discussion

[Mutineer]

Games are about to start.

Daresay some shuffling on boards might be enacted post games.

Scrappy game, NSW/ACT lads look more physically developed than most of the VC lads.

26 for VC looks massive

Did all the better Vic players skip this besides the Eastern boys and Duff-Tytler?

Geez, James Milner playing for QLD??

Its not enough that he plays more than 20 seasons in the Premier League, now he moves over here and starts a new footy career.

Isn't he just.

His name is Tairon Ah Mu and he's about 199cm.

Riley Onley would have been the 1st picked if I was a selector, Harley Hicks too

 

[tombomb]

First time I have seen King play and he looks like a serious prospect.

Surely Onley injured or declined. He made the 18s team as prime on baller.

He should given he has been in the AFL system for quite a few years now. In fact it is a bit weird that he even wants to play in a Under 17's game.

And people say you need to go see a Rob Schneider film to get A grade comedy. Where are those people now?!

Allies will have a better side next year than 2023 national champions

Can’t see anyone beating them

 

[Futbolista]

Did you guys see 2025 prospect Sam Swadling (WA) just play for WP? You ought to if you're serious about rating prospects accurately.

is Kalani White even playing? I've watched for 15 mins and still haven't even seen him on screen

Playing in defence I think

Haven't watched all of this but nothing has suggested Greeves is anywhere near Sharp from what I have seen.

Any one catch the U17 trial games yesterday? How’d our boy El-Achkar go?

Best players and goal kickers if anyone cares to list

Would love a run down aswell!

 

[danster168]

For Dees fans, Ah-Mu had 11 possessions, 4 marks and 1 goal 2 behinds. He's undersized for a ruckman in terms of height, but moves quite well for a guy has heavy as him. He would have to be close to 110kg. He's a one grab mark but my main criticism of him is that he seems to lack aggression and use his size advantage the way he should.

I don't seem him as a first round prospect unless he grows to be over 202/203cm or improves his forward craft and becomes stronger in the contest.

Well if you watch the u17 QLD vs Vic Metro game - Annable and Uwland just an absolute class above.

Pretty even performance outside those 2, but they are very special players. Top 10 bids incoming I would think

El-Akchar from what I watched was really impactful, kicked a goal or two. Even had a pinch as a inside mid later in the game despite his stature. Best on for Vic M would be Sam Grjl, and for Queensland it would be Dan Annable.

Felix Kneipp continues to catch my eye, think he's a pretty special talent.

One to kneipp an eye on?

Reckon I watched 50% of this game and Greeves couldn't get near it.

Must have been huge rest of the game.

Apart from the getting the 1st centre clearance of the game, I didn’t see much else of him in the 1st half, he did perform a bit better in the 2nd half, but not enough to be 1st in the best.
