To be confirmed.
The way the Media picked up on Trelore 12months ago, you'd pretty much have to say Prestia is as good as gone next year.

If we have another year like this i can see Prestia exploring his options and so he should , but if we are on the brink he wont be leaving.

They also said sheil & conigilo where going. I think us cleaning up our culture is a big step forward & hopefully a few wins just like gws had will entice Dion to sign on for a few more years

Not sure if being televised by young Scheer been selected for the curtain raiser to the grand final.
live on afl.com.au apparently
Jack Bowes also from our academy is a pretty good prospect.
187cm smooth Moving mid. Good Inside and outside game
Was considered a top 15 prospect last year.
Keep a eye out.

We likely to pick any of them this year or not good enough?
Im thinking only for rookie positions Budarick is a good chance.
Blood , West and Spencer all played a few NEAFL games this year.
1 Of the 3 above might be a very slight chance to get a nod

I'd like to point out...
"didymus blanket"
possibly the greatest name I've ever heard. sign him up.
The kid has got to be a lockdown defender doesn't he?
I can see the headline after his Rising Star nomination, "ELECTRIC BLANKET".
Reminder we have a couple guys playing in the Pre game Grand final

I agree. We need to spend more on developing our junior talent 14-18 yr olds
Don't forget Brad Scheer

Any replays of this game available?
So after a little digging I found that Didymus Blanket was actually in the level one AFL Academy last year but didn't make the cut this year. Unfortunately that's the only relevant information I can find about him. Southport are listed as his team but couldn't find anything about him on their website or the NEAFL website. He didn't make the Scorpions squad and wasn't invited to either the National or State Combine, which would make it seem that it's very unlikely for him to get drafted which is very bizarre considering he was a former member of the AFL Academy. But what's more bizarre is that the Suns nominated him for the draft. Does anyone know anything about him, cause to me I'm completely confused and can't find any relevant information about him (which is also quite weird considering he is a former member of the AFL Academy)
Also, speaking of the Combine, no-one from the suns academy was upgraded to the National Combine. We only have 3 players attending the State Combine, who are Dyson Budarick, Jesse Joyce and Max Spencer. So unfortunately it's probably unlikely for Connor West and Robert Blood to get drafted.

Could the Suns be hiding him from recruiters all year.
That's what I initially thought, until I found out he was a former member of the AFL Academy. Someone who was once considered to be apart of the top 30 17 year olds can't possibly go unnoticed. I mean, I can't seem to find any relevant information on this guy at all. I can't even find out who he's played for the last couple of years.
If I had to guess, I'm guessing this guy has huge potential but had a massive drop off in the last couple of years and the Suns are probably holding out hope that he gets back on track and fulfils his potential.

Yeah i cant say ive heard of him either , only thing i can think of is he had a season long injury and has been of the radar.
But he couldn't of been injured for a whole 2 years. Even if he was injured, he still would've at least been added to the Scorpions squad, invited to the state combine or retained his spot in the AFL Academy. And also, even injured players are constantly being talked about. Other players in the past miss the entire year being injured but people still talk about them. I haven't seen 1 article or interview or any piece of media talking about this guy. It's almost as if he's non-existent cause no-one is talking about this guy whatsoever. And he was a former member of the AFL Academy. Usually anyone who's been through the AFL Academy are always talked about, even if they get cut, drop off, get injured or whatever. But I can't seem to find anything. If he was injured you would think someone would say something by now.
