Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion

[Haggas]

Awesome, any idea on how they are tracking? Are they regulars, are they solid contributors? I know Gresham is a regular but that’s it.

Dean 1 game and Allan none so not great signs but next year being their draft year could be more games and improve

Reading through some older AFLW U18s match reports and found a small snippet on Sunny Lappin (playing as an under-ager for Queensland):

Sunny Lappin, a father-daughter prospect to Carlton or St Kilda in the 2025 draft, was a handy target inside 50 for Queensland with two goals. Impressively, she proved an ability to play as a marking key forward, and also showed off her quick-thinking, roving skills on the deck.

Potential No.1 pick stars despite Allies' upset win

The Allies took away Queensland's offensive weapons during their upset 15-point win in the Marsh Girls Under-18s National Championships game on Saturday

Sophie McKay this year, Sunny Lappin next year, works for me.

Now let’s hope our boys do us all a favour and not move up in the draft rankings

Laura doing an awesome job.....I don't know why people say she's out of her depth

That Academy stuff is completely wild. You'd be furious if you were Melbourne or whoever missed out on Academy players for two years just for them to revert back.

Swings and roundabouts. They missed Mac Andrew but got Van Rooyen and Howes with a late first and late 2nd which they probably would have had to use to get Mac Andrew.

It is a bit amateur hour though.

They’ll change it back the next NGA that goes at pick 1

They’ll change it back the next NGA that Carlton are in line to get top 5.

Imbeciles.

Ps. Maybe * handout.

With the NGA change, how does Gresham actually rate next yr? Is he decent?

Haven’t watched him.

Underager and a midget by listing 168cm, has probably grown since that was taken.

The extrapolation is, has players 11 Coates Talent League games as an underager this year. Someone sure rates him.


Edit: A bit of research. July 3, he was named in CTL Team of the week. 25 disposals 5 marks, 5 tackles as an underager, admittedly U18 Carnival was on so some prominent players missing.

Height doesn't bother me too much. Small forwards that small seem to be getting free kicks whenever they get tackled these days so it could even be a bonus. Just watch Hawhtorns midget forwardline, any time there's a contest somone is getting a high free kick.

Is there any basis for this rationale?

 

[AlecDuncan]

Remember when the AFL desperately wanted to give The Suns priority picks, but couldn't because we finished below them? i.e.: we needed the picks more. Next year as soon as they finished below us, "Hello Izak, Jack, and Ben!".

That's just the most recent example.

To each their own but I don't see that as targeting Carlton, more propping up GCS.
IIRC other clubs were pushing back on priority picks for our club too, as it was thought we'd scrapped our list for parts & then were seeking freebies when some didn't come on, or as quickly as intended.
Either way, I don't see anything to suggest systematic ripping off of our club though.

gresham (1) and Ison (22) playing in this

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

Ison impressive. Great composure, skills and has good pace for someone his height.

 

[9874123]

Any one know what the Campo boys have been up to? Seemingly haven't played for Glenelg for a while.

 

[PezzDogg95]

Ison impressive. Great composure, skills and has good pace for someone his height.

What type of player / position is Jack Ison?

Is he a real draft option next year?

Played wing half back. Seems to have the tools to play anywhere. Seems a decent chance to be drafted next year

I noticed the same. I checked the seniors as abit of a hope. But nothing. Maybe school footy?

 

[MITSUHIRATO]

Ison listed as 1.89cm but I’d suggest has since grown as he was the same height as Brodie Kemp when standing next to each other.
