Who is Chris Ogle?

[chef]

I see we added him to our list as a scholarship rookie. Does anyone have any info on him?

Isn't it Brett Ogle's son? He has been on this scheme for us for a year or two.

GOLF professional and commentator Brett Ogle befriended Rodney Eade when the Western Bulldogs coach was working at Sydney some years ago, so Ogle rang Eade recently.

If he turns out like Dylan Addison I'll be happy.

The kid is a freak! He was born in England then lived in Victoria till he was 10, he went to Haileybury College (same school as Tyrone Vickery and Tom Lynch), then moved to Sydney, went to Scot's College and on visiting a mate from Drouin played a couple of games with them and really shone. Went back to Sydney and played for the UNSW Bulldogs (ironic) and Eastern Pigeons rep team. Played for NSW in the National Champs and broke the state screening record in the beep test with 15.4. Super fit and super fast

15.4 beep is huge

Does anyone know the AFL draft record beep test, because I think that may go close to being better than them.

Talking about the NSW Rookies scheme, the AFL is about to pull out of it's funding of it.

AFL to pull NSW funds

Mark Robinson | October 31, 2008 12:00am

THE AFL will withdraw funding for its New South Wales scholarship program but expects clubs to continue combing the state for the next Lenny Hayes. The AFL wrote to clubs last week informing them the $10,000 per club subsidy to help recruit 15 and 16-year-olds would no longer be available.

It says clubs should incorporate the cost into recruiting budgets.

Funding will continue for existing scholarship holders, but that will evaporate over the next two years.

The AFL's game development manager David Matthews yesterday said the scholarship scheme had been successful in attracting the attention of clubs, many of which were not considering recruiting in the Sydney market.

"So we put some subsidies on the table, but we always had the intent, at some point, the subsidies would start to diminish," Matthews said.

"What we're saying is if you want to sign a kid in the future, down the track you'll be making the commitment, we won't subsidise the commitment."

In its three years, 56 players have been listed under the scholarship scheme.

Of 12 players eligible for rookie or primary list elevation for the 2008 season, five players made it, the most notable being West Coast's Ryan Davis and Sydney's Craig Bird.

Another 12 players will be eligible for upgrading at this year's national and rookie drafts, including Geelong's Ranga Ediriwickrama.

The AFL expects another five players to be listed.

The Sydney market could be invaluable for clubs trying to rebuild lists through what looms as the most compromised draft period in history.

Clubs will still be able to identify NSW talent and list them under the scholarship scheme.
