Kelly, a smart and skillful Victorian, shapes as a top-five selection at the NAB AFL Draft, while Perris is a Sydney Swans scholarship holder who can be automatically listed by the club

“@NSWACT_Rams: FT 6.10 (46) d Tas 4.4 (28) G: R: King 3, Ellis, Edwards, Howard. Best: Perris, Barrett, Heeney, King, Head, Davis.”

Decent Effort

[Jack Lord]

Anyone seen Perris play? I saw some highlights and was interested in his speed. Is it just me or does he lack a bit of toe?

Lloyd Perris:

The highly talented Perris was again sensational today. Collected a lot of uncontested ball and worked tirelessly defensively. Finished with 22 disposals, 5 marks, 3 clearances, 4 inside 50′s, and 8 tackles. Disappointed he missed two shots on goal.
he has to go to the swans he is elite,great speed and tank very good kick.he should be a divvy 1 player for metro or somewhere​

 

[strauchanie59]

Rapt that we get him at years end. MVP for NSW Under 18's.

 

[Danair]

Perris named NSW MVP for the championships...... Looks like we know who our last pick will be used on.

 

[Membling]

Also received AA honours. Named on the bench

heeny will win it nxt year i can feel it.he tagged templeton to 14 disposals while he had 18 and did some nice things

 

[strauchanie59]

Calling it early, barring injuries, and he has had a knee reco last year, Perris will play 150+ for us.

NSW took out the u/16 champs Div 2 today by beating Tasmania

Swans Academy member Callum Mills was awarded best Div 2 player, and will probably be not-AIS (not sure what its called these days) listed in the next few days

its already finished?i know mills starred and tim coenen?

 

[swansfan51]

Mills was excellent for NSW, averaged 27 disposals and kicked a whole bunch of goals

 

[Wayne Swan]

Despite Eddie Everywhere wanking on recently about us (and the other three north of the Murray clubs) "hiding away" kids in our academies, I think there is one set of stats that shows how important the Academies will be to our wellbeing.

I felt for Brisbane when they had five top draft picks want to "go home", and please note Eddie, Collingwood lured Kanezis away from Brisbane!

Here is the number of home state players on the 2013 senior lists.
29 Richmond
28 North, WCE
27 WB
26 Essendon
23 Melb
22 Geelong, St.K
21 Hawks, Carlton
20 Collingwood
17 Freo, Port
16 Adelaide
9 Gold Coast
7 Swans
6 GWS
4 Brisbane

So the four northern clubs have 75-90% of their players living away from home, a factor that has to be managed and as we saw this year, if a player wants to go home, the losing club gets a poor deal in return.

So the Academy can hopefully provide us with 1-2 players every year so that our ratio of players living away from home starts to fall over time.

There were a couple of other academy players that were eligible - Jack Hiscox and Harrison Green, but the Swans decided that empty list spots would provide more. Max King, Anthony Miles and NSW u18 captain Michael Gibbons were also overlooked. So there isn't a lot of faith in the NSW talent base.

 

[Wayne Swan]

I think there is another fairly definite selection for us in 2014 in Isaac Heeney. Can anyone provide an update on whether he is still tracking as a likely selection for us next year.

He is not a Scholarship player, as that scheme is now defunct, and as an Academy member will be subject to the F-S type bidding process but hopefully he can make the selection grade. I'm all for having as many NSW players on our list as possible.
