The Allies appear to have a pretty strong squad this year. I guess we'll find out how strong when they face the traditional states at the U18 championships.

McKercher and the Suns Academy trio (Rogers, Read, Walter) are all touted as first round draft picks, and there's a smattering of other draft-possible/probable talent throughout the squad.

Six of our academy team have made the squad - top-agers Clearly, Cabor, Rider and May, plus over-agers Kirk and Gander.

Quite looking forward to seeing how they go, especially May, who seems to be improving as the year progresses.

The first match of the U18 championship is on later today, with the Allies playing SA. It starts at 11am Central time and can be streamed from the AFL site. Swans academy players; Cleary (number 3), Cabor (7), Kirk (14), Rider (18) and May (44) are all in named side, while Gander (29) is listed as an emergency. This is a brief preview from Rookie Me.

We're playing well this far. A lot of the action is down our scoring end. I can make out Cleary around the ball. Can anyone help out about the positions of the other Swan's players?

Looks like Rider is around the CHF position. Good goal.

And May is rucking too. Getting there slowly.

May (44) is now rucking. Kirk (14) is on the wing (which suits him less than inside mid) and Cabor (7) is playing as a small defender.

Thanks Deja. This is a ripping start. Let's hope they can keep up the intensity all match.

Hopefully Cleary can keep it up. He's been very lively so far.
Walter from the Suns is also enhancing his reputation. There's been the occasional comparison to BBB Hall.

Cleary just laid a great tackle and has been strong and clean around the ball. May looks like a good ruck project. What are the chances of us picking up both in the draft?

You're right about Walter. Would love him on our list, but so would quite a number of teams. Suns would be foolish not to match a bid you'd think.

I'd say the chances are pretty good. Personally I think they're our two most draftable prospects. None of the rankings that I've seen have had them among the top twenty prospects, so currently it's unlikely to cost us a lot of draft capital. Although if Cleary keeps this up, he might break into the top twenty. So far, he's playing a better game than McKercher, who Rookie Me rate at 3.

The first ruck in this game for the Allies, Reid, is rated by them at 5 or 6, and one of the rucks for SA, van Wick, is a 113kg over-ager: so, it's a good chance for May to put forward his case.

[dejavoodoo44]

Sorry, ruckman Read is rated at 7, and is also from the Suns academy.

while Caiden Cleary had 10 tackles with his 24 disposals

Looks like GC have got a gun KPF in Walter, will be bid on in the top 3-5. As someone else said, GC first will be up for trade - to the most points offered

Is the replay of this game available to stream anywhere?
