[am Bays]

Well wad-da-ya know CK has to come to the rescue of the un-informed again...

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

I didn't notice earlier that Big Wazza wasn't listed either, bit I did suggest he would be someone to watch via another thread

From the Bay: I believe Warrick McGinty, Alex Carey and Craig Pitt could be considered for top 10 SANFL picks. Andrew Bradley is unikely to, only because he didn't make the U18s state squad, and so may not have the high profile of the other draftees. However his overall season (B&F) and great finals matches show he should be, and may have caught the attention of some scouts.

Daniel Kirk is an experienced league campaigner so lower clubs looking for a player not needing time for development, may take a punt. Shannon Snook is also a smokey.

[westcoastpanther]

When is Ports Wanganeen going to nominate??

[MagareyLegend]

That list is so inaccurate, ill-informed & misleading.

[am Bays]

That list is so inaccurate, ill-informed & misleading.

Yep I think there is another Bays player missing.

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

That list is so inaccurate, ill-informed & misleading.

Yep I think there is another Bays player missing.

Are you thinking of Cam Hitchcock, Sam Sverdloff or Drew Clayfield? They are still eligible from nominating last year, but wouldn't appear as it only lists players nominating for 1st time in 2009

[Big Phil]

That list is so inaccurate, ill-informed & misleading.

Yep I think there is another Bays player missing.

Don't shoot the messenger gentleman, I have just copied the names from the SANFL web site...

Take it up with them if it is ill-informed and inaccurate. Don't quite get the misleading part, the guys listed have clearly nominated for the draft which is the title of the thread is it not ?

You may have to change the thread to first time nominees or something like that to keep some people happy by the looks of it.

[Slots It Through]

When is Ports Wanganeen going to nominate??

Not certain but he may have nominated last year.

[Big Phil]

Here is an updated list to include players that have previously nominated within the last 3 years, where their name stays in the system for that period of time...


* Past nominee still eligable for the 2010 draft


NB - some of these prior nominees are either at other SANFL clubs now or no longer in the SANFL system but were obviously associated with the club mentioned at time of nomination.

[Brodlach]

West Adelaide
Nicholas Westhoff

[Big Phil]

West Adelaide
Nicholas Westhoff

What's funny about Nick nominating ???

He was very good in the Under 18's for you guys this year and played some reserves footy toward the end of the year didn't he ?

[redandblack]

He's a very good player.

I think brodlach was amused that a Westhoff was in the West Adelaide list rather than the Central list.

[Big Phil]

He's a very good player.

I think brodlach was amused that a Westhoff was in the West Adelaide list rather than the Central list.

Yeah, I figured that was the case

Ooops, my mistake, I was actually thinking of Nick Prokopec

[CoverKing]

I found funny Dean Christie under North and also Shayne Harris under the Eagles. Both not at those clubs anymore!
Harris couldnt even get a reserves game this year. Amazing what people think of themselves as footballers!

[gossipgirl]

wow its a huge list. I wonder what percentage get picked up and then play more than 100 games. Would be interesting to see historical stats and to see which club produces the best players

[Big Phil]

A good story on Byron Sumner from the AFL web site...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/86849/default.aspx

Pint-sized Sumner rides the bumps


South Australians Byron Sumner (pictured) and
Derick Wanganeen agreed to push each other
through the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships

SOUTH Australian draft hopeful Byron Sumner likes the rough stuff and he's got the battle scars to prove it.

Sumner, 18, started the season with Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL's revamped underage competition but climbed up the ranks after representing his state at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships in June.

He broke into the Eagles' reserves side in round 14, was promoted to the seniors two weeks later and took less than a quarter to adapt to the bigger bodies and pace of league football: holding his spot for another week.

Sumner started brightly in the round 17 clash with North Adelaide, but by half time looked as though he'd gone five rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson.

"I copped a knock to the head, but I kept playing on until I noticed blood dripping down my shoulder," he told afl.com.au.

"I thought it was my neck but there was nothing there, so I felt my ear and there was a big split in it.

"I didn't even realise what had happened."

Sumner required five stitches but returned for the second half.

At 172cm and 68kg, he was one of the smallest players invited to the NAB AFL Draft Camp in Canberra last month though his size hasn't discouraged his hard-nosed approach.

Sumner and another prospect, Derick Wanganeen, won plenty of admirers for their poise and flair during the championships.

However, SA talent manager Brenton Phillips said he'd been more impressed by the pair's defensive efforts.

"Both Byron and Derick are extremely good at getting in and under and winning the contested ball," Phillips said.

"In the final quarter of our last game against Vic Metro at Etihad Stadium, those two lads really stepped up in terms of their work rate and ability to get at the opposition. They laid strong tackles and didn't allow the ball to jar out of contests.

"For two small-framed footballers that work rate was first-class."

Sumner said it was no coincidence he and Wanganeen had turned it on at the same time.

"Derick and I are really close," he said. "We do work together in games sometimes and before that game [against Vic Metro] we actually spoke about it.

"When we first met at the state academy in December last year we looked at each other and saw that we were the only two indigenous lads there.

"We decided that we'd push each other through right until the end and we did that throughout the whole state series."

Sumner, cousin of Port Adelaide premiership players Shaun and Peter Burgoyne, has been tipped to go as early as the second round of the draft on November 26.

The lifelong West Coast fan has already been interviewed by the Eagles, Collingwood, North Melbourne, Fremantle and the Sydney Swans but is doing everything possible to keep his mind off the big day.

"I hope I get drafted but I'm not in control of that," he said. "If it happens, it happens and I'll be pretty excited.

"At the start of the year I set myself some goals, like to play state football and make my SANFL debut, and I didn't hold back.

"I just wanted to achieve those goals and I did, so I have to be happy with that."
