Dougie Cochrane with the Kevin Sheehan medal

Not sure if this is the best place to ask this. But anywhere I can find the previous winners of this award

For the record, Dyson Sharp won it last year.

2013 was meant to say “Rhys” instead of Ryan Mathieson.

Also, 2023 Alan McLean medal went to QLD youngster and top GC academy prospect for next year Beau Addinsall.

Was wondering who’d be first out of yourself or Davo.
Haha yea, it’s prob hard on Davo given Centrals are my local club. Cochrane has even more upside than Sharp though Sharpie will be far more ready made in terms of body and power.

The really good ones stand out early in a way that’s so obvious. The yea he’s not bad ones are rarely those that end up being absolute stars.

Hurn was the last Centrals lad to give me those vibes

Ok, now I'm really confused......I have been planning on getting new glasses. I think I need them sooner rather than later.
it’s Harvey an aspiring cricketer also, who was on a cricket camp in Melbourne and flown up to replace Cooper Ramsey who was also injured in game 2. He was part of the Talls program so correct in saying not in the original squad but started as a train on with the team to develop further. After the game was then flying back to Melbourne for the cricket final today.

Wow....a cricketer also. Interesting stuff. I remember Cameron Green playing football for WA in the national 16's championships a while back.
 
Clear number 1 Cody walker (Vic country) from your number 1 scout

Other players of real quality and will be intriguing to see how they continue to develop and be high end picks potentially
Dougie Cochrane (SA)
Archie Van Dyk (SA)
Lucas Robinson (WA)
Koby Le Cras (WA)
Wil Malady (vic country)
Arki Butler (vic metro)
Max Downes (vic metro)
Jermaine Miller (SA)
Axel Walsh (WA)

Have I nailed it folks ?

Axel Walsh is a below ager at this level. Just replace him with Leo Steed (WA/SD) who is a gun. Huge hunger for the contest. I'm surprised people aren't talking about him.

I’m not sure Cooper Hodge is even in the top 3 players in our academy in his age group.

Some talented kids coming through their respective states for sure and still plenty of development in them yet.

SA off the back of these Champs, look to have a nice list coming through for 2026. If I had to try and put some of them in some kind of order off the back of their recent Champs and current SANFL form I’d go something like this.

1. Dougie Cochrane (CTL)
2. Kodah Edwards (Sth)
3. Archie Van Dyk (Sth)
4. Memphis Webb (Nth)
5. Cain Florance (Sth)
6. Ethan Herbert (Nth)
7. Angus White (Sth)
8. Harvey Croker (Glg)
9. Jack Gordon (CTL)
10. Jermaine Miller (CTL)
11. Jacob McNicol (Glg)
12. Zach Young (Nth)
13. Koby Moir (Glg)
14. Jack Leys (WWT)

* One to watch - Max Atkin (Glg) Competition leader with 12 goals in 3 SANFL games before breaking an elbow (season done) and missed state duties this year. Good size, quick & mobile Fwd.

Will be interesting to see how this list evolves over the next 24 months.
