Sloaney gets a team named after him this Saturday. Hopefully Sharp being on Team Sloane is an omen lol

Also, is Sam Cumming a relation to our new recruit?

Wes Walley sounds like a joke

 

[FR0GGY]

How did they split the teams?

Where is he?

 

[Mutineer]

How did they split the teams?

I guess that would have been done by Tarkyn Lockyer (AFL Academy coach) and Keven Sheahan with input by the state coaches trying to balance the teams up talent wise.

Pick 25, if we still hold it, will be well into the 30's by the time we get to use it with F/S, NGA's, academy and what's now looking like a heap of Band 1/2 Compo picks pushing it out.

AFL have allowed all this to develop over a number of years and were not only asleep at the wheel but lacked the guts to finally fix their failures this draft.

Don't talk about pick 25 any more, talk about our pick in the 30s

Who cares, all the live ppl we had available to us will still b the set thats available anyhow. The other only problem with moving picks is where you need points for a bid and your picks lose those points.

How do you work that out, if GWS get end of 1st round picks for Cumming and Perryman, same with Battle etc that will put them ahead of us in the order when picking.

The whole free agency and the clubs not need to trade for players after a set number of years creates much of this problem. Why shouldn't a club have to compensate the league or the old club for recruiting a player in?

Why should a club get prime compensation for not convincing a player to stay?

 

[LoBu]

Why should a club get prime compensation for not convincing a player to stay?

But they do get compensation, the issue is right now the AFL inserts a pick between rounds or picks.

Take Battle, why should St Kilda get pick 8 and Hawthorn pay nothing?

Edit: I'm not sure if we are saying the same thing or not?

We aren't.

I'm suggesting that clubs are over compensated.

Compo picks should be end of second round onwards. That's the only way to avoid nonsense like the McKay / McDonald situations.

Yeah I'm saying that too, the burden of a free agent shouldn't be on the clubs that don't get player.

 

[hippyhippy]

There needs a change.

I propose giving the club draft points which they can sell, but not giving them picks directly. Ie they can sell the points to other clubs that can use it when they have a fs or nga prospect

Right now every other club effectively pays for the trade

There shouldn’t be any compensation, its not free agency when every team then plays a price by having draft picks moved back.

Oops, I fd up, didn't notice the FA comp stuff listed in there, thought it was just std misinformed NGA /FS whinge.

LIVE from 9.35am AEST: 2025 draft crop on show at the 'G

More than 40 of the most talented under-17 players will take part in a curtain-raiser on the MCG on Grand Final day

www.afl.com.au

 

[Thunderstruck]

Yes have been watching, ball pinging around a lot, mix of good and bad skill. Open game, minimal contestested. Cumming been decent from North, Greeves, Burton also for Heppell whilst Sloane Addinsal, Uwland, Hibbins-Hargreaves not bad.

Sharp prob quiet by his standards so far though heavily rotated mid/fwd.

Some nice talls about in the next crop.

 

[Mutineer]

Half time

Team Sloane 6.6
Team Heppell 2.9

Beau Addinsall (Suns Academy) clearly the standout in the 1st half, Cooper Duff-Tytler dominant in the ruck and Zeke Uwland (Suns Academy) as usual prolific.

Dyson Sharp hasn't done much as yet.

That WA kid Toby Wan has a decent boot on him.

Cumming the best of the SA boys

 

[Mutineer]

3/4 time

Team Sloane 7.7
Team Heppell 4.12

Sam Cumming and Josh Reichelt the best of the SA boys for mine.

Sharp playing a fair bit in defence it seems.

WA going to be very strong next year.

 

[Mutineer]

Final Score

Team Heppell 9.16
Team Sloane 9.9

My take from the game WA will be very strong in 2025.

Josh Lindsay best on medal for Team Heppell
Beau Addinsall best on medal for Team Sloane.

 

[FR0GGY]

Cumming the best of the SA boys

Any relation?

 

[Cromulant]

Any relation?

Nope

And it was the Heppell side that came away with the win, kicking the last five goals of the game to clinch a seven-point victory.
Annable is tied to Brisbane's Academy and collected 27 disposals and five inside-50s for the Heppell team, while fellow midfielder Ollie Greeves was important with 31 touches and seven marks.

Tom Burton (26 disposals) also produced some eye-catching moments and Sam Cumming was in everything with 24 disposals, 11 tackles and a goal. West Australian prospect Charlie Banfield kicked three goals while Josh Lindsay, who had 20 disposals, was awarded the best player for his team.

A late goal to exciting tall forward prospect Archie Ludowyke capped the comeback, while the versatility of Willem Duursma again shone with 20 touches and eight marks.
Addinsall, a member of Gold Coast's Academy, had a game-high 34 disposals for the Sloane team, while Uwland, also headed to the Suns through their Academy where his brother Bodhi had a breakout season, kicked two goals from 22 disposals in a typically polished display. Addinsall was named his team's best player.

Midfielder Jack Dalton had 21 disposals and kicked 1.2, Riley Onley had 20 disposals and kicked a goal and very promising tall Cooper Duff-Tytler collected 13 disposals and 10 hit-outs.

TEAM HEPPELL 1.6 2.9 4.12 9.16 (70)
TEAM SLOANE 2.3 6.6 7.7 9.9 (63)

Goals
Team Heppell: Banfield 3, Latanis 2, Cumming, Ludowyke, Schubert, Walley

Don't talk about pick 25 any more, talk about our pick in the 30s

I’m pretty sure pick 25 gets you the 25th pick in the open draft. Regardless of academy and f/s picks.
