Jack looks like a really good prospect, lovely left foot, seems composed and moves well, 37 disposals is a great result in round 1

I mostly go off u16s champs, because I don't watch much SA/WA state u18s/colts in the last couple of years, too busy watching ctl/u18s champs/u16s champs/AFL Academy, vic trials and state rep games, Kellaway was a good player for SA at the u16s it's been awhile since I last watched him play, but he would be more likely in the latter half of the draft as a FS pick up, Judd Marcello played flanker and mid at the u16s, good to see him kick goals in the colts playing more as a forward.

Cook is quite poised little man, doesn't rush, doesn't panic, checks his kicks and usually hits his targets. Perhaps not a penetrating type but big accumulations and thoguthful footballer.
Phillipou not as good as his brother but still first round worthy talent for mine. Super runner and has had some very dominant games when given the role. Hardly got a look at the champs last year.
Yea last year he and Blake Kelly had a lot of eastern state recruiters very excited for both

i started doing draft watcher content in 2018 and i was curious how i have done over the years, i have had differing opinions to people which has caused some drama here and there, so i thought i would go back and see how i did over the years
mid 2018 was when i started, i had watched most of the championships, if not all and Hawthorn was in a massive decline and i could see that we were nose diving or about to, so i needed something to take my mind off of how badly we were doing, so i started my first draft thread
2018
Calls i got right: Rankine, B.Smith, T.Thomas, Blakey, Caldwell, Butters, J.Clark, McHenry, X.Duursma, Sparrow, Hamill, Briggs, Jordan, Bytel, C.Taylor, Scholl, Bedford, Woodcock, Lach Young, Chandler, Butts
Good Calls: Sam Walsh as pick 1 early, Ben King > Max King, Lukosius being mentally weak in the contest(because at the time he was being talked up as the next Nick Riewoldt), Rozee to be a star, didnt like Hately or Mosquito, thought Stocker was a late pick and not pick 16, liked O'Halloran, J Ross and Vandermeer more than most
Bad Calls: slightly under rated Quaynor, B.Hill, Rowbottom, Stack and Idun
Unknown Players: Justin McInerney + State League Players
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2019 was the first year i was given advice on a player and it turned out that advice made me back a dud in McAsey, so i got stubborn and now i dont listen to anyone easily.
2019
Calls i got right: Rowell, Anderson, L.Jackson, Ash, H.Young, Henry, T.Green, Flanders, K.Pickett, Day, S DeKoning, Georgiades, Weightman, Bergman, T.Dow, Robertson, Schoenberg, J.Sharp, Worrell, Maginness, H.Jones, Comben, Rivers, Byrnes, J.Prior, R.Garcia, Rosas Jnr
Good Calls: i rated Serong highly even though others disagreed with me at the time, i had doubts on Dylan Stephens (which i voiced but i still put him in my 1st round), Sam Philp and Will Martyn, i was the only one to rate Chad Warner that i can remember
Bad Calls: rating Fischer McAsey highly after others told me he was good, over rated Brodie Kemp, Will Gould, Cooper Stephens and Dylan Williams
Unknown Players: Keidan Coleman and State League Players
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2020 was a rough year, football for the year was cancelled after a handful of games, we didnt get AFL Academy, u18s champs, nothing, we had to base reads off of 2019 mostly and didnt get to see the players under the pressure of their draft year, it ended up being a weaker draft than normal
2020
Calls i got right: JUH, Thilthorpe, McDonald, Hollands, Cox, Perkins, Bruhn, Powell, H.Chapman, L.Jones, O.Henry, F.Macrae, Laurie, O'Driscoll, Berry, Neale, Lazzaro, H.Sharp, M.Rioli Jnr, Treacy, McNeil
Good Calls: i wanted people to rate Gulden top 5 and Campbell 20, i had doubts on Z.Reid, Pedlar, Poulter and Stone, i rated Angwin way lower than where he was taken, i was big on Jack Ginnivan and Eddie Ford
Bad Calls: Will Phillips, Reef McInnes and DGB i over rated, to be fair everyone over rated DGB and Phillips, i also over rated Jackson Callow
Unknown Players: Max Holmes and State League Players
so theres a look at the first 3 years, i will look at the next 3 years in my next post, to see how i performed and if theres anything i can learn from this information, draft watching isnt a perfect science, but it can be rewarding.

My gut feel is the Crows will likely go tall in the 2025 draft so I'm interested in who you rate as the top talls in this draft especially where you see SA's versatile athletic tall Aiden Schubert in the pecking order who has started the 2025 in excellent form also noting he's another with a late December birthday 21/12/2007 re upside?
I think you will find in regards to Jack Ison and number of the other private school boys that you won’t hear about them as much as their time playing in the CTL is very limited due to their commitment to school football.
APS footballers are not given the same public medical coverage in regards to their playing statistics / match reports as their needs to be some protection / privacy from a child safety point of view given they are playing in a school environment, whereas CTL stats/games are widely and easily accessible.
Jack Ison and a large number of his Scotch teammates are highly rated - they have a large group of potential draftees playing this season. Louis Emmet, Riley Onley, Kobe Williams, James Milner, Harrison Wilson, Sam Allen, Tanner Armstrong just to name a few. It’s worth trying to check out a few of their games if you are interested in this years draft as their is a huge amount of talent there, which the recruiters are well aware of.

Top KPPs that i have noticed so far
Cooper Duff-Tytler 199cm - was KPD in the u16s champs and was one of the best tall defenders, taking a few intercept marks and dominating aerial contests, has gone into the ruck for Calder and is also making an impression there in the CTL
Cody Curtin 200cm - brother of Dan Curtin at the Crows, he is more a KPP than a flexible type like Dan who can play Midfield and intercept Defender, went forward recently and kicked 8 goals in the WAFL Colts, so is showing some versatility and a growth spurt to hit 200cm
Cooper Ramsay 202cm - i noticed him as an over ager in last years u16s and he is quick for a tall, dark horse to watch out for imo
Aidan Schubert 194cm - skinny KPF who is playing some Ruck time at SANFL U18s level, clever forward who finds space and a decent shot at goal, played well in the u16s champs scoring on average a 7 and kicking 5 goals in 3 games, pretty agile, he's a chance to go first round
Liam Hetherton 195cm - played in the futures game before last years GF and looked good on a lead, kicked a few and looks a likely type, good physical build and strong mark for a KPF
Louis Emmett 199cm - was a very good ruck for VM at the u16s, has always been seen as a 1st round type, played good footy at Oakleigh too last year
Archie Ludowyke 197cm - good aerially, can jump high in the aerial contest, bit of an issue with goal kicking, probably needs to work on his action and routine, i was impressed early last season with his form for Sandy in pre-season and starting the season, but as the season went on his goal kicking became less reliable and he didnt seem to get it under control which is a worry and he could slide down my rankings if he cant get it under control, tldr: great athletic profile, worrying mental capacity in front of goal
Tairon Ah-Mu 198cm - impressive pacific islander ruckman that has also shown ability playing KPF in stints, good in the air, can kick a bag of goals, competitive, big hands, i spotted him at the u16s and after his solid performances for Dand last season others have jumped on board, lacks a little athletically which could hold him back a bit? but seems to have dropped some weight and is looking fit for this season
i would say KPPs that might go 1st round: Duff-Tytler, Curtin, Hetherton, Emmett, Ludowyke(if he gets his goal kicking right), Schubert
Ah-Mu and Ramsay could be talls that AFL Clubs might take a chance on?

Riley Onley has been training with the pies vfl all pre-season (and will through the year so he doesn't have to travel too much to train with murray). He looks fit and strong. Think it'll help him this year training with older players.

Any comments on his kicking? Does most other things well but really let himself down in the futures game with his disposal by foot.

I haven't seen an issue with it the last few months, so maybe it's something he has worked on. We'll see soon enough whether thats the case. The pies do this kicking drill in every session that is meant to about focusing on running and kicking to your teammate with the ball in hand. So hopefully it's something that's helped him in this regard.
