Thats right. Has seen him for the last few years, so this injury woudn't change their view if they rated him one way or another.

Yes, I believe so. I'll have to take a look. If you nominate a NGA you have to take them with your last pick or just pre selected as a cat b.
But I'll look into it.

If he’s rated 40-50 but has done an ACL I’d be pretty shocked if any club picked him up in the ND. That’s the sort of injury that drops the value of higher rated players, but they’ll still get picked up, but puts lower rated ones off the radar until the next year as overagers.

Only thing with a cat b, is you only get 2 spots, and one we have with parker. The other, either we prelist a nga prospect in between the national and rookie draft, and gets selected without any bids needed
Or we have the ability to list condon even when he is still playing basketball (though, no point in doing this at this point. Just wait until he finishes college)

I imagine if a club rates him in 40-50 and we rate him in the same, then we'll just match a bid.. wont barely cost anything.
But I agree, I think this will put clubs off, and most dont draft past pick 50 anymore. And he was already rated post pick 40 as it was.

Heard several times that young Thomas projects as a VFL level player. These don’t seem like numbers a bottom ager gets who’s destined for the lower leagues.

I don't see why he can theoretically project as a Steele Sidebottom type - Not tall or quick, but a smart, natural footballer who knows where the ball is and uses it decently.

Who said he’s not quick? That’s the first time I’ve heard that.

He is also still 16 until late August too. Doing well for someone his age.

I think that's from last years assessment. From what I know this year, they are more confident which means he's been working hard away from just training, as you would with a dad like Mick. As a 16yo, you couldn't ask for much more and I reckon he's one we will take a chance on. Could be playing unaccountable footy atm, but that's just a guess

He's playing in the midfield filled with players older than him, getting the ball, kicking goals
Should mention, this game on the weekend.. was in the wet down at ballarat.

The beauty of someone like Nick coming in to the club is that he’s immediately someone who the younger kids can aspire to. Particularly our FS and NGA players will be getting told and shown firsthand how hard Nick works to be as good as he is, and doesn’t coast along on talent alone. That alone would be a huge motivator for these kids that are coming through.

Everything points to us taking a chance on him. Those talent scouts spend more time arguing with each other than actually doing their job. You can't overlook the stats he's producing every week, regardless of what some say

Of course we will.
Probably a second rounder, and who knows could push into the first round next year.

He's probably been on the radar for a number of years. Been in our academy, taught by his dad, won multiple BnF''s at local level.
Has real potential when you think he has ways to go on the physical development side.
He's really smart. High footy IQ. a great runner. Ran a 2km in about 6min when he was 15 (I recorded it at the time lol)

Too 25 for 2025.
Height: 177cm
DOB: 27/08/07
A small midfielder or forward, McGuane showed glimpses of his talent when representing Vic Metro at under-16 level last year. He has clean hands, while strong decision-making is another key asset. McGuane made an impressive start to his bottom-age campaign with the Jets this year, averaging 25.5 disposals in his first six matches. The highlight was a game against Northern Territory, where he recorded 38 disposals, 10 marks and nine inside-50s. His ability to create by hand and with his neat left-foot kick were features of that breakout performance. A must-watch player over the next 18 months, he is the son of former Collingwood dual-Copeland Trophy winner and premiership star Mick McGuane. While his dad also had a brief stint with Carlton, Thomas is only father-son eligible for the Magpies
