young guns to watch in 2009

[The Big Shrek]

What do people think about young Dawson from the Eagles. I hear they are hiding him in the lower grades so the Crows can pick him up easily in the draft. Would have played league by now if this wasn't the case.

Yeah the Eagles kept a player down in a lower grade because they were travelling that well.
Why would they help the Crows at their expense - 1 of the most ridiculous posts Ive read

Trengrove if he stays in Adelaide !!!

It has happened before, not necessarily at the eagles, but def in other clubs, leagues, states etc

Maybe its a trade off for the crows paying McGregors salary for season 2009.

i was about to mention dawson, played against him twice this year kicked 10 and 8 i think and took 4 hangers, hes a freak and doesnt miss. could just be a bit small to play in the AFL to play the possition that the eagles have steriotyped him to.

GOLDSWORTHY is all class.

BOCK, spastic zero natural ability, doesnt even know what hes doin out there but because hes 10 foot tall gets a look in.

HANK, spud

HARRIS, very good player, just doesnt give him alot of hope when he is 2 foot nine.

IMO

But Harris did win the Under 19s medal for best and fairest.

yes i am very well aware, i did say hes a very good player but IMO hes to small to play AFL and when he wasnt nominated for the draft and had to put himself in i think its pushing sh*t up hill

The Eagles wouldn't have much to gain by promoting a 17 year old. However, if the Crows get him it means he stays in SA and will provide more valuabble service to the Eagles later on. It also helps secure good relations with the Crows which could be helpful when they want Crows players to play SANFL finals.

Just passing on what I've heard G and was interested to find out whether other people thought he was that good(he did play state 18s). But don't let that stop you from trying to make yourself looksmart G.

I always thought the player nominates themselves for the draft, CD?

Do you mean all the football skills went to one brother and none to the other?
Statistically, it could happen in the genetic lottery, but it would be rather unusual...

no mate if AFL clubs show any interest in a player, there SANFL team is notified and nominates the player, i believe the club covers all costs that way but when you nominate yourself he will be paying his own way.

there is also a middle brother between christian and nathan, names tyson as a junior was touted as the next big thing but never went anywere. Im a good mate of bocksy gone through school with him and he struggles with most phsical activities . good luck to him if things go his way but any one that knows christian would verify what im saying

Are you saying football ability is purely by genetic factors and not by environmental ones as well?

Xiavier Watson from Port
Shane Harris from Eagles
Trengrove from Sturt
Tyson Davis Neale from South
Jesse Stringer from Port

Trengrove is all quality, uses the ball very well.

Jesse Stringer from Port also has alot of poise, and may not play league footy next year but will push the year after.
