Likely to be a handful of in/outs before locking down the actual U18 State squad in the early part of 2025.

Notable bottom age absentees from this initial list who might come into calculations include:
Webb
Croker
Moir
Young

Gonna bump this to give it some love.

The Vic state academy would surely be named soon-ish.

Looking forward to it dropping whenever it does do so.

Any underages made any Coates Talent League squads? Should be named shortly if not already

Going early (and will bookmark to see how many I get right) but my predicted 28 man 2025-26 AFL Academy squad as follows:

Tanner Armstrong.
Charlie Bovill.
Arki Butler.
Dougie Cochrane.
Seamus Doherty.
Max Downes.
Kodah Edwards.
Cain Florance.
Jack Gordon.
Ethan Herbert.
Archie Hill.
Guy Jenkin.
Garrison Kenh.
Koby LeCras.
Aiden McCartney.
Wil Malady.
Jermaine Miller.
Caylen Murray.
Marlon Neocleus.
Matthew Owen.
Lucas Robinson.
Hau-Tze Rock.
Thatcher Simmons.
Leo Steed.
Jack Surkitt.
Harry Van Hattum.
Cody Walker.
Levi West.


Look forward to be mostly wrong and your predictions.
