Academy games 2024

Two of our academy players, Lachlan Carmichael and Noah Chamberlain, made the national academy squad for next season. It'll be interesting how they develop, along with Max King, who was sidelined with injury for much of last season, but is also promising.

Rookie Me are quite keen on the Allies chances for next season. They reckon that our trio of Carmichael, Chamberlain and King should feature.

They also mention Kaiden McNamara, who I've always rated pretty highly. He's a skilful medium size player, who mainly plays on the half back flank, with the occasional spell on the ball. I think that he's a reasonable draft chance, but with the AFL's draft points changes, he'd have to slip through to the rookie draft for him to get to the Swans.
