So we should all keep a eye out for these guys, especially the ones in the U-18's team when the game is broadcast on Foxtel in July (usually in July).

Perris and Heeney are probably the big two, as they are AIS selections. Perris having spent two years in the system. I don't know much about the others apart from Abe Davis gets mentioned in a few circles and Head has kicked a few goals in the ressies

 

[swansfan51]

Jack Hiscox is one I am looking forward to watching. Has extremely high athletic capability and can be dangerous up forward

 

[S120]

That Sierakowski kid must be the brother of Will Sierakowski at North who came from Riverview. Think he made his debut the other week.

AFL NSW/ACT general manager Tom Harley said he was "appalled" by the allegations that have seen Heaney – the AFL's appointed manager of the northern NSW region and coach for the Sydney Swans junior academy – stood down by the league indefinitely without pay.
The 42-year-old former TAC Cup coach stands accused of indecent communication with a 13-year old male footballer who alerted his parents to exchanges of sexually explicit comments and images online.

Wow. Terrible if true. I'd hate for the academies to cop knocks because of this

Ah crap that is the last thing we need.

And a terrible thing for the kid to go through of course.

Played with Watson throughout my junior years, very surprised by his progress tbh. Never stood out but very happy to see him doing well, underager I believe so one to keep an eye on next year. Half-back with excellent skills and running ability.

 

[swansfan51]

Was extremely dissapointed to see Hiscox not named, hopefully he plays some of the later games.

Excellent! For those who don't know, Hiscox is a state champion level athlete. He has excellent endurance and also explosive power. I am hoping he shows some form and we rookie list him, he's worth that minimal investment.

 

[strauchanie59]

Hmm interesting Watson wasn't named considering he was in the bests.

 

[Onetonylockett]

Hiscox is an exciting player, I have seen the kid run the ball from a kick in, step everyone on the field and kick a goal all from the original kick in. I have also seen him take one of the best hangers I have seen in any grade of footy as a 15 year old.

 

[BarneyBent]

Is there any sort of coverage for the Rams game today? Radio? Twitter?

 

[BarneyBent]

Well, Perris turned it on for NSW again. 26 touches, a goal, and named second best for NSW/ACT against a dominant Vic Metro side.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-06-09/boyd-delivers-for-vic-metro

If he keeps playing like this, you'd think he'll be on our list next year.

 

[RUNVS]

26 disposals is not bad at all considering the opposition and the fact that U-18 games are shorter than AFL games.

Gibbons is a GWS player unfortunately. As is Jake Barrett who had 22 disposals and 3 goals.

Unfortunately we have to accept that GWS were given the best zones in terms of areas that already have a high amount of people interested in Australian Rules Football and areas that have already produced a lot of talented AFL players. GWS have Wagga Wagga I think and that area produced both Paul Kelly and Wayne Carey. I also think they have the areas that produced Brett Kirk and Lenny Hayes.

Agreed, and they were also given the whole Northern Territory which is a bit of a joke.

That was only for the original list building, wasn't it? They don't have NT players in their Academy, do they?
