CD
SPURR

EG
SALTER ...................brilliant overhead,good goalkicker, can be very very good but...
JACKY

GL
SELLAR
HOLMES

NA
DELVINS .................extrememely talented footballer who deserves a string of A grade games
CUNNINGHAM

NW
KITE .....................sensational in defence, blonde hair, and a very very good talent, reminds me of Ben Kane
WALKER................. reminds me of Peter Hudson, if he ends up 1/2 as good hmnn, a star
AISH

PA
SUMMERTON............ball magnet, clever body positioning, if had more pace would be in the AFL
HALL......................saw this Daryl Poole lookalike play on debut, saw enough will play AFL !!!

SA
ELLIOTT

ST
PAYNTER
SHARPLES...............ingenious indigenous teenage superstar, will be an AFL draft in 2009
FARMER..................sensational teenager, all the skills, last year for ST will be drafted 2009

WA
FIELKE


My top 5

1 SHARPLES
2 KITE
3 FARMER
4 WALKER
5 HALL

My apologies if I have overlooked or missed any other talent

Interesting call on Sellar...hanst set the world on fire a SANFL level and might be in trouble if Glenelg's injury free run continues..

Elliot of South was a Rookie for the Crows in 2006 and only got one year, dare say he will be a good SANFL footballer but no further

MAl

Farmer is one of Port Powers rookies - so he is already on a list.

You can add young Lachie McGregor to that list - still developing and very raw (game sense) but will be a very good SANFL player. Unfortunately a bit small for AFL (will be what AFL scouts will think even though he has the ability)

Panthers have 3 Star Search winners already this season all 3 very much potential draftees as all under 20yo. Once the extra AFL teams are in players like these won't even play SANFL as they will be taken earlier thereby reducing the standard we all now enjoy.

You can add Matthew Jaensch, Peter Weir, and John MacDonald Sturt's list of Rising Stars too.

Yes, Hall was quite impressive on Saturday.

"Play the kids".

Refer "Crowd Behaviour thread"

IMHO Matthew Wright has been the standout. To be playing as well and with as much courage as he currently is after what he went through and a limited preseason is unbeleivable.
Similar to Selwood at Geelong hes taken on a leadership role within the club despite being a teenager.
An absolute monty for this years draft.

You can also add Josh Donohue from Norwood.

Agree Wedgie re Matty Wright and I reckon there might be one or two more from the Chook Class of 08 to have a look at in the next few weeks

I have nothing to hide.

Hope to see all of my Bay mates at Coopers on Friday.

Geez MAL you are a genius.
How did you find Salter, Jacky, Farmer, Kite, Walker and Sellar[who I think is prdinary]

Oh thats right they are all on AFL lists.

Can add Kirkwood and Watson from port. Both very good players.

PAFC is Kirkwood any relation to Colin Kirkwood from Pooraka who of course are affliated with the PAFC

Lol. I can't believe this merits a new thread. Why don't you pick the highest profile kids in the SANFL and leave it at that? Oh, hang on, you did.

Here's a new challenge. Let's take out any player who has played league and any AFL (current or former) listed player and see who can come up with some talented kids coming through. Simply naming all the guys under 21 playing league or on an AFL list, and spitting out well known facts about them does not make anyone a guru of SANFL footy!

Fortunately for Port, we drafted him in 2007

I can only agree with your first sentence

You could add Nick Wark for Sturt, had a great 1st year in 07 and has continued on this year, for an 18 year old he has a frame that can go straight into AFL footy.

James Boyd from the panthers has had a great year to date,and you can also add James Turner to that list aswell!

I second Josh Donohue.
