Under Age U16s - 2027 AFL Draft General Discussion

[AFootballParent]

A really strong hitout today in trying conditions.

Anyone want to guess who impressed the most?

If i was a betting man putting on the triffecta, i would put a gorilla on (Alphabetical order) Condello, Fairchild, Tucker with Ryder Brown coming hard down the straight.

Condello, Fairchild or Kravic?

Jen2310 Eli kicked 4 at FF and looked strong and energetic despite the conditions. Is starting to get a fair bit of arrogance (in a good way) about him.

Rumour mill is that Condello was that far ahead of everyone and that they took him off before half time and apparently Ash commented that he should be playing in the 18s. I can’t confirm if the above is true it’s just what has been shared to me.

True. To be fair, a lot of the better kids had cut time…including Jack, Luke D, Ryder Brown and a few others.

cut time? management?
How how Cooper, Ted and Luke De Valle go?
I guess once they go back post christmas (end of Jan?) they'll start cutting down the squad

I think some of the more advanced kids are already through, so they wanted to see some of the others with extra game time. Jack, Luke, Ryder etc all very solid. Cooper was ok, didn’t see those trademark runs though. Ted had a few possessions, but generally quiet. He still needs more time (along with most of the talls)

Assume Eli would be one of those already through?
I'll be interested to see how many of these nga's get into the final squad.
With such a large training squad, it would be hard to manage game time for players (which then you have to make a tough decision).

They will all get through most likely.
