TOPIC:

Ok guys last year I didn't see any colts games so I have no idea about any of the kids coming through. Except for McPartland who played a couple of games in the seniors.
So my question who is ready to play league straight up? I've read some stats and Jaiden Hunter seems to have the goods? At only 194cm seems to have recorded a lot of H/O stats, averages high teens disposals and appears to clunk a few marks as well? Is he a ruckman or key position player?
Who else can make the step up?

Jaiden is a KPP player who stepped up to fill a ruck void.
I think he will debut this year and would look nice at CHB.
I am also very interested in Zak Maloncelli, I looked the look of him in the couple of games I saw streamed. Being a midfielder he may find it harder to get a debut.

Zac Meloncelli definitely one to watch coming through the colts. Got a great kick on him which is an increasing rarity amongst youngsters. Zac Sanderson had a good season and gets plenty of the ball at colts level. Daniel Hill and Regan Hill are real talents coming through but probably won't see much of them in 2021.

Couple of ex-colts in the reserves as well who had got talent. Tarkyn Brogan-Henry is a really talented youngster and Simon Hayward can find the ball. We should have a much more competitive reserves team in 2021.

Our player depth is suddenly growing, certainly with more talented youngsters coming through the ranks than we have seen for many seasons with fewer disappearing after leaving Colts.
We should keep watch on these boys as they develop and ensure that they are given every opportunity and encouragement to progress and to not lose interest.

Anyone rate Harry Quartermaine?

Yes I do but I think he has a bit of work to do.
I am hoping that Army & Chance can make a difference with some of the kids coming through.

Quartermaine is an interesting one. Not overly tall but very strong and takes a good mark. Needs to work on his kicking. Kicked a lot of points in 2020.

Yes, me too. Could need a bit of conditioning but is a strong fella and can mark.
Biggest query for me is on kicking goals. May need to get Murray Couper down there to help.
Is he related to Johnny Quartermaine? He could kick a footy out of sight.

Isn’t he the kid we got from East Freo after the season had started?

No, Harry came to us before the season started.
He played all games except round 3.
Kicked 20 goals in 8 games averaging a little over 2 per game.
Kicked a bag of 7 in round 1 against Peel.
What I saw of him he looked okay and has potential.
Needs to do some work including his fitness, and needs some nurturing as do all our promising Colts.
