These are the Colts I see as being the ones we should place in a development group over preseason with the view to transitioning them into senior football next year.
Jake Watson 19yrs 182cm has had an outstanding year.
Kalib Dempster-Park 18yrs 175cm
Connor McDonald 18yrs 185cm
Noah Cachard 18yrs 181cm
Elijah Scoble 18yrs 193cm
Oscar Scoble 18yrs 183cm
Cameron Hall 19yrs 191cm
Michael hall 19yrs 187cm
Coen Livington 18yrs 200cm
Darcy Alvaro 18yrs 189cm
Ryan Lee 18yrs 190cm
That's 11 that I have been impressed with during the year.
We need to start developing our Colts players.
These guys have had a successful year and need special attention.
Yes I know that a couple maybe a chance to be drafted but we need to take action.

Oscar Scoble? I think you've got your Scoble's mixed up there chief. Even Oscar would have a laugh.

I hope I’m wrong but I think the colts will go out in straight sets.

The form line is not good. From our last 6 games we have 3 losses - to other top 4 teams in C, EF and S - one tie and 2 wins. Some disappointing numbers today from MacDonald - he was getting more of the ball last year when he was a year younger - and Livingstone, who got fewer taps and less of the ball than he normally does. Hope we can bounce back next week. 

EF colts have done well to get as far as they have TBH. They don't have the all-round talent that Cl, Perth and Subi have. Can see Livingstone finding his mojo v EF undersized rucks....yeah EF had a victory over Perth last time they met. TBH considering the season Perth youngsters have had, it will be a travesty if they go out in straight sets.

Regardless who wins, playing Cl in the GF, will be a big ask, especially since Curtin is available now from Cl senior team. ..plus all their good PSA boys are available too.

Looks like we have to travel to Rushton Park....hardly very fair!

And without full forward Michael Hall. That's a near certainty. 

Not totally unexpected. Claremont are a very good side and, as alluded to by others, will take a lot of beating in the Grand Final.
We tried hard but skill level overall not up to the Claremont standard.
Our boys have done very well all season and it will be sad if we see them exit in straight sets. I do not rule out a win over the Sharks that will put them back in contention for the flag.
Looking on the brighter side, it has been a long time that we have seen glimpses of talent coming through the ranks in numbers. 
Five players in the Colts Team Of The Season is testament to a very good season for all the boys and we can look forward to their further development as they progress their way to senior ranks.
 

Congrats to Coen Livingstone on being the joint winner of the Jack Clarke medal. Unsurprisingly, polling in the league team was woeful, so it's good to have a couple of small successes to take out of the season. 

Coen needs to hit his top form for Perth to progress to the GF and be any chance. Had probably his worst game of the season in the second semi.
