Jones is a pure midfielder. I don't know if he's grown but he was listed as 185cm when he was first signed at 15.
Lloyd was listed at 178cm when he was signed but he might have been even younger than Jones was. He's more of a forward.
Ogle's not as tall as his old man, 190cm from memory and a defender. Ogle was borderline in the NSW team this year but made little if any impact.
Some updated information on these boys - Braedon Jones is now about 188cm and 78kg I think. He was named rookie of the year for the Black Diamond League this year, and was runner up in the senior B&F club awards. Doesn't turn 18 until mid next year. Is a top young player who from what I've heard travels a long way to play and train, from Aberdeen in the Upper Hunter.
Daniel Lloyd is doing really well - played a small number of senior games during season. Lots of speed and raw talent to work with.
I have heard that Chris Ogle is perhaps going to be rookie listed with Bulldogs, but that's just on the grapevine. He is very inexperienced in AFL, but has amazing speed, fitness and accuracy.
I reckon that even if the scholarship program is going to be scrapped or altered to include the whole state, we should be glad that the AFL has at least taken the initiative to raise the profile of the sport in NSW. Most of the scholarship kids just want to do their very best, and seem to be setting a fine example for the younger kids to aim for. Nothing is ever perfect, but as long as the powers that be keep revising and improving initiatives such as this, the sport can only be in a win win situation!
