National U18 - first two games
Not sure what the go is this year around the games from a thread perspective so just thought would start this in case some people were wanting a bit of detail around the games on the weekend. I was out at BO oval on saturday (albeit I didnt watch terribly closely as was chatting with a few people during them so apols I cant be more in depth). Saw about a half or so of both games.
The kids that really impressed me were;
Ben Brown - went along expecting to see May as the dominant fwd of the two games as am a massive fan of the kid. Walked away thinking Brown was probably the best fwd I saw all day.
Green - this kid is very good. I have seen him before but he really looks like he has come on. He won a ton of the ball and he is very good inside and out. I know I love the Tassie kids and have wrapped a few like Hislop and Joseph and bit more than I should have but this kid is the real deal. Early call but somewhere in the first round possibly.
Josh Bruce played well. He is a strong contested possession winner Josh and would think he would be drafted but must admit I worry that Chaz didnt go last yr.
May - love this kid. Masssive unit and moves ok. Kicked a few goals but presented as a real target and hit the packs pretty hard. I had as a first rounder but I suspect he is 2nd round. Certainly would have him ahead of Solly from SA I think.
Meli - Tied to Essendon and was unreal. Got a lot of ball and used it very well both left and right. Again won a lot of it in close and is a bit of a livewire. Essendon have got a special one here.
Oxley - Bit unassuming but he won a fair bit of ball and took it through the corridor. Skills were good. Dont know much about him though as hadnt seen him before so if someone could shed some more light would be good.
Miles - NSW kid who I have seen a lot of and the NSW coaches just love him. Had a massive game and was probably the most dominant player I saw along with Josh Green over the course of the day.
