Hopefully be a good game. Especially if the Allies keep playing with speed and quick ball movement.

I’ve got 4 of the WA guys listed in my top 20, so seeing them against a step up in competition will be nice.

Pretty sure Sam Marshall didn't play in the first Allies game.

Any chance of Curtin getting some time on ball?

Any chance of Curtin getting some time on ball?

Looking at the side they've picked, with so many defenders released to play colts, it looks like Curtin will be required down back all day and if he get's injured or towelled up, look out WA...trouble.

PREVIEW | AFL U18 champs double-header hits Adelaide

The 2023 AFL Under 18 National Championships continue on Sunday, as Adelaide's Thebarton Oval hosts an exciting double-header.

central.rookieme.com

The Allies have made three changes with journeyed bottom-agers Clay Shadforth and Sam Marshall coming in alongside Swans Academy over-ager Tye Gander. They all offer something unique, and far from weaken last week’s victorious Allies side. The 1-0 outfit will only be better for having played a full game together, and their top-end stars are set to shine even brighter. First round fancies Ryley Sanders, Colby McKercher, and Jake Rogers will roll through midfield, while Jed Walter, Ethan Read, and Connor O’Sullivan are strong key position pillars.

There are some prospects in Western Australia’s side too, also within the key position realm. Ruck Mitchell Edwards should have a great battle with Read, while Daniel Curtin should settle in nicely down back, and Sam van Rooyen is an emerging talent in attack. The Black Ducks will be without Koltyn Tholstrup, but fellow national academy member Riley Hardeman has been named among a dynamic defensive group. Others to watch include mercurial small forward Lance Collard and classy midfielder Koen Sanchez.

Backing Sanchez, Van Rooyen, Collard and potentially O'Driscoll to put their name on the map in this game.

 

[dinnaz]

Should be a good game with both sides fairly evenly matched.
Once again the Allies should have the midfield ascendancy and the firepower up forward to put a big score on, but WA have a better spread of players across all lines.
Expect more of the same for the Allies Sanders (mid), McKercher (mid) & Walter (KPF) while for WA keep an eye out for Hall (mid) and Kentfield (KPF). Curtain has been out of sorts playing fwd and mid so if he can settle down back that will be a great matchup to keep an eye out for.

[eDPS]

Very scrappy game so far

 

[eDPS]

Sanders looks the clear best pure midfielder in this years draft

 

[eDPS]

That was a gift for Walter, Curtin very stiff there

 

[Lingsface]

I want Hall at Geelong.
Kirk is worth a look he’s got a well balanced game.

 

[Futbolista]

Rubbish from WA in the first quarter.

Effort is worth nought with disposal like that.

 

[eDPS]

Rubbish from WA in the first quarter.

Effort is worth nought with disposal like that.

Both teams have lacked some polish, might open up later

 

[Lingsface]

I want Hall at Geelong.
Kirk is worth a look he’s got a well balanced game.

Didn’t realise halls dad played for Geelong 74 games as well, lock him in.

 

[robertg22]

O'Sullivan has been great today

 

[eDPS]

Poor Dan Curtin, got unlucky with a free for Walters first and his teammates help give Walter another goal.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Allies looking good, first game i've caught.

 

[Jazny]

Leake to Mckercher to Callinan to goal! good signs from our Tassie boys.

 

[Lingsface]

Poor Dan Curtin, got unlucky with a free for Walters first and his teammates help give Walter another goal.

Haven’t seen anything that makes me think Dan curtin is a top 5 pick though.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

I haven't seen much of Callinan this year, looks a nice kick what type of player is he?
