Not a bad effort

Bachar Houli ?? based on how he started this year ??????
Josh Kennedy ?? not from what I have seen but he has big wraps

and for a smokey to come from nowhere

Andrew Hoffman

 

[SDG72]

How about Austin Lucy

 

[79Vintage]

Lucy is this year.

Mission, I don't know Andrew Hoffman, what's his background?

 

[missionpossible]

Basically playing football up at whyalla and is bottom age this year. He played a couple of under 17 games for port magpies.
Being a country kid he hasn't come up through the system, as I said a smokey.

 

[Gets!]

Bryce Gibbs will be captain.

James Sellar probably vice.

The team that ends up with Bryce is the luckiest in the land...

 

[freak29]

Bachar Houli for sure!!!

 

[kempos_kingz_05]

Hey Weavs, happy with Brock O'Brien then?

 

[SCummings]

Just watch out for young Timothy Brown! Has the work ethic and i reckon if he improves his speed, could be up there with the best! Trust me, don't write him off!

 

[Philhawk]

young josh kennedy?

 

[the_pill]

Matt Austin from north ballarat, the kid is bound to star next year. Anyone got any dirt on him

 

[bigfootball]

Jackson Sherringham definately will be in the All Aus team, has dominated alot of games this year, should be a fairly high draft pick too

 

[Weaver]

Hey Weavs, happy with Brock O'Brien then?

Thought I'd have to leave the WA guys alone or have Yakuza throw a strop about how Vic based fans don't know anything about the WA kids and so therefore shouldn't say anything at all

C'mon Yak, surely its due

Just a couple of questions re a couple of the 2006 kids

Bachar Houli - what was his injury this year.

Josh Kennedy - how big was his father when he played.

 

[SnIcKeRs #3]

Tom holmes in josh riddle out

 

[no. 4]

I have a few mates that have played against Bacher Houli and he is meant to be a gun. Was captain of the Vic Metro under 16's side last year and i would expect him to rate highly next year.

 

[mbaset]

bachar has a stress fracture in his back, but i think he recovered, it was like a 6 month injury

 

[MalG.]

Wats everyone's opinion on Sam Fielding?

 

[FootyGuru]

what about rob warnock????????????


he would have to be the best ruckman in australia coming through

 

[Roo Boy Rev]

Wats everyone's opinion on Sam Fielding?

The kid is a jet had a great season with tha tassie mariners and this was whilst he was stuck down with osteitis. He will be one to watch does 16s in the beep aswell and can run 100m in under 11 seconds

Houli had stress fractures in the back, which is a bit of a concern, but they can be managed (Adam Pattison had them last year, once he recovered he was sensational).

John Kennedy Jnr was 190cm and 91kg when he played - great size for a wingman.

 

[macca69]

Any of the players mentioned in this thread eligable to be drafted this year, or are they all too young?
