Under Age U16s - 2027 AFL Draft General Discussion

[Haggas]

Dunkley nominated as FS but think he asked Swans not to match if Vic team bid.

Is Salopek based in Vic?

Yeah he is so is Rodan

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Narre Warren I believe for the Salopek's.

 

[Half Back Pocket]

I don’t think either would play CTL U18s. From the Vic side maybe Sruk or Condello would possibly be big enough

 

[GC2015]

The Wiz lives in or around Carrum nowadays.

So obviously Jeff Farmer's ex moved to the Gold Coast at some point and Zebedee plays junior footy for the Southport Sharks. It looks like he also plays for the Parkwood Sharks rugby league club and attends one of the renowned rugby leeague excellence schools on the GC. It's entirely possible that he'll be lost to the game due to rugby league seemingly being his preferred sport right now. Would be a shame to lose such a famous name to another sport.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I should say this.

Last year or the year before, the Wiz was spotted in Carrum/Carrum Downs.

Maybe him and the family moved to QLD after these sightings.

I hear that Axel could be the best of all in this age group

at this stage....

 

[RedmanWasHere]

at this stage....

Be plenty of mids to push him down.

Looking forward to the jostling of positions.
The shuffling of deckchairs.

Who knows.

Walsh might bypass the draft and be one of the twelve 17yo taken by the Devils in 2026.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

With the rookie draft to come this arvo, I may as well change this from 15's to 16's.

The short journey towards the U16's begins and the next phase of the path towards the Tassie Devils draft is in full swing.

 

[Half Back Pocket]

All CTL teams have now selected squads for the Futures pre season program. Would be interesting to see lists of anyone has them?

I hope the coaches have drilled into the kids the prospect of playing for the Devils.

Not everyday younguns have a chance of being part of a new club's foundation squad.

When do you think we'll know the mechanics of the concessions? (They haven't released details yet, have they?)

Time to open up the 2028 thread? haha

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I have answers to neither.

You'd think sometime next year will be when everything is laid out, analysed, torn apart, reassembled and examined.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Time to open up the 2028 thread? haha

It's in the wings but better to err on the side of caution so perhaps the new year?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Draft contracts.

At this stage:

Picks 1-20: 2028-30.
Picks 21-Mr Irrelevant: 2028-29.
Rookie: 2028.

I wonder if the Devils will try to have as many as possible on 3-4 year foundation contacts.
