Top 5 as it stands.
Ben Camporeale top 5 for blues
Lucas Camporeale top 20 for blues
Our boys... maybe top 20 for Harrison and top 40 for Woods and Cochran. Will depend on their performance

They could be busy banking future picks for points then.
Was there a reason we let go of, or lost, Buckley to the Giants… it really hurts because he’s exactly the player we need right now!

He quit the academy at 15
The Giants took a flyer on him at the age of 20 in 2017 as a Cat B rookie after 6 games in their reserves. Spent 3 years on their rookie list and missed another year with an ACL.
Can’t fault anyone here for once. Kid just didn’t want it enough at 15.

Scouting Notes: 2023 AFL Under 17 Futures
TEAM SELWOOD:
Joe Harrison (Swans Academy)
Midfielder | 179cm | 20/07/2006
Another player who was utilised in all thirds of the ground, Harrison’s contested game and general competitiveness were on show across all roles he was deployed in. He cracked in consistently hard to win the footy or stop opposition players from moving freely with ball in hand, while also Harrison proving proficient when moving the ball by hand himself with quick passes to release outside runners.
Mitchell Woods (Swans Academy)
Midfielder/Forward | 179cm | 15/05/2006
Woods is a player who got better as the game wore on, initially getting involved with his defensive pressure before eventually finding his share of possession. The talented dual-sport athlete was energetic with ball in hand, driving his legs and stepping opponents in short spurts to help drive Team Naitanui forward. He started up forward, but also got a run at the centre bounces and spent time on the wing.
Joel Cochran (Swans Academy)
Forward | 195cm | 28/03/2006
It wasn’t an overly prolific day for Cochran, though he took his moments to hit the scoreboard with two goals. Having played a key role in the Swans Academy’s Under 16 championships as a defender/ruck, the tall utility plied his trade as a forward on Saturday and made it work. His first goal came via a recovery and snap in term two, before he earned a free kick in term three and slotted the set shot.

I don't know, two goals for Cochran seems pretty good in such a high standard game. He was not up against any easy players in that game.

I wonder when Mitch Woods has to make a decision about staying in the Academy for 2024?
No doubt when he has to tell the bum sniffers whether hes signing or not

Not sure if you've ever watched a game of NRL, but the halves(5/8th,1/2) and hooker are around ~180cm

In any case as stated, league clubs are able to offer juniors paid contracts, whilst the academy can not.

Could also facilitate scholarships to scls outside Sydney. Would be no change from $50-60k pa for a boarder.
Culturally, that's not as big a thing in Sydney as it is in Melbourne.

One of theBris Academy kids iirc is in Melbourne boarding at school but is still connected to their Academy
It is one of the few legit means of competing with Leeeeeg.
Not sure what else we can do.

I suspect that there's very little interest from the kids in doing that.
