In the last game of the U16 carnival, SA vs Vic Country Tanner Armstrong again put in a strong showing. This is from the HUN:

Highly-touted Carlton father-son Cody Walker capped his stellar U16 carnival with 30 disposals, nine clearances and six inside 50s for Vic Country while his teammate Tanner Armstrong’s silky skills and sidestep were impressive as he racked up 30 disposals and five rebound 50s across halfback.

If you watch the last quarter you see that Tanner Armstrong was attending centre bounces and winning clearances.

Jack Leys was a bit quieter in this game. The ball didn't seem to get his wing that often,

#2 Tanner Armstrong (Murray Bushrangers)
Defender | 175cm | 27/02/2008

Stats: 30 disposals, 4 tackles, 5 rebound 50s

Racking up an equal game-high 30 disposals, Armstrong was integral to Vic Country’s rebound play. He took on the kick-in duties and provided plenty of run out of the backline, driving his legs and working tirelessly up the ground. The defender also got stuck in with smothers and tackles, while taking up good positions behind the ball as his side attacked. Armstrong was also given a run at the centre bounces in term four and his energy was infectious throughout the match.

#2 Tanner Armstrong (Murray Bushrangers)
Defender | 175cm | 27/02/2008

Stats: 23 disposals, 4 marks, 9 rebound 50s

Vic Country’s defence absorbed a good amount of pressure from WA and Armstrong helped release it with his work on the rebound. He provided plenty of drive and energy, getting busy with ball in hand and having a dip across the back 50. For all his flair and speed on the counter, one of Armstrong’s best moments was a well judged one-on-one mark as the last man back in term one.

Anyone got any updates on Zaydyn Lockwood?

Notes from his game V the Rebels last week. Seems to be playing a bit more ruck lately. 10 games for the Pioneers this season and has been in the bests 6 times. I reckon he'll end up on our list.

#44 Zaydyn Lockwood
Ruck/Forward | 198cm | 25/01/2006

Stats: 9 disposals, 14 tackles, 10 hitouts

Had a tough battle against Penry but competed hard and then rotated forward as well. A raw talent with natural athletic attributes, Lockwood’s stats with ball-in-hand might not leap off the page, but his ground level work from a defensive standpoint was terrific. Lockwood laid a game-high 14 tackles – double the next highest player – and was not afraid to get his hands dirty, though also moved well in transition. He tended to do the smaller player tasks the best.

Is Armstrong a NGA? Based on current rules we could only het him if he’s outside of the top 40, yeah?

He is plus Russell Clark.

Definitely not trading Shai if we could have another father son to go with the one he’s already potentially given us

Apparently the afl are making so you can get an nga prospect by matching bids in the top 40 again. Would Lockwood be on the cards then?

I would imagine so. Utility type. No risk matching a bid with a late pick.

Lockwood hasn’t been spoken about as a top 40 pick though? The rule change wouldn’t have any impact on that would it?

Doubt Lockwood gets a bid before 40 bit if the rule does change it would mean he's all but guaranteed to be ours if we want him.

AFL proposes change to NGA access for this year’s draft - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1173998

This would also mean if Tanner Armstrong keeps it up we can get him too in a couple of years. 2026 could be big for us if Jack Leys and Armstrong keep it up.
