What's the background of both Scheer and Bowes? Both Gold Coasters?

Scheer from WA , moved to Palmy in '12 , Bowes from Cairns.

Anyone got any info on Jesse Esam? Apparently a key forward who can play trough the midfield. From Broadbeach so I assume he's in our academy?

When's he draftable?

Next year I think. Couldn't really find much but I'm pretty sure he played in an under 17s game recently.
If he turns out to be a good player, we've basically confirmed that we've got the currency to pick up Essem, Scheer, and Bowes. Huzzah

Draftable next year. Apparently played 2 QAFL games last year and kicked 5 goals in each game.

Can't find anywhere that he has played any higher than QAFL Colts - kicked some goals but what was the quality of opposition. At 188 would he be draftable as a KPF ? Hasn't set world on fire at rep level in the past - only a couple of 2 goal efforts at state and academy level.....

This is West's draft year - DOB 30/12/1997. He played as an over-ager at 16's carnival 2014. Because he hasn't been invited to State Combine later this month thinking is he's unlikely to get drafted.

From what I can see he's a pretty small dude. He's born with literally one day remaining in 1997, so I'm not sure if he's physically ready to enter the draft. I'd rather see him develop further in 2016, get a bigger body and polish his skills, so we can pick him up next year.

Maybe he will get a run as an over-ager again this year ....

A year is a long time at this age as well , another player might pop up out of the blue like Budarick did this year. At the start of this year i would of thought we would be drafting Woosup in the upcoming draft , but things change quickly at this age.

I've noticed a few people born in 1996 who are tipped to get picked up in this draft, so him staying back another year definitely wouldn't be an issue. Would be good for us.

How and who decides players selected as AFLQ over-agers. My understanding is that numbers are limited and preference is given to those that have not had previous opportunity or have had mitigating circumstances (injury etc). ....
In West's case - Could they use his birth date and relative immaturity as reason for having a second chance ?
He could still be drafted 2016 without playing in Queensland rep team but thinking that would be unlikely...

State Combine Results - some pretty good efforts put in by Budarick and Joyce. Maybe rookies ???

Man, Budarick is a cut above the rest. If we don't get him as a rookie I'll be shattered.
I wouldn't even mind drafting him as a late pick in the national draft if we nominated him as an academy player (maybe he's not eligible?) - he's shown a ****load more promise than Gorringe or Tape going forward.
Bowes is close to the best Queensland prospect in the last 5 years. So clean and composed. Nice height and should have played in the u18 carnival if not for injury. Scheer is one of the best contested ball winners in this draft. Ollie wines like. Marsden is good as a smallish outside midfielder but needs to improve output.

Agree re Bowes and Scheer - not sure about Marsden. Soon see how they really measure up - AFL today announced an Allies side will compete in Div1 at Champs this year.....maybe why Suns banked so many future picks at recent trade draft..

The Div 2 allies team is great. Bowes will probably play off half back and Scheer in the middle. There are 7 draft talents for NSW, 4 for Tasmania, 3 for NT and 5 for Queensland who i rate highly for next year. The year after aswell for the gold coast looks strong.
