TOPIC:

just looking at the league list on Subi's website it looks like quite a few colts players have been promoted for next year which is good news. I guess if you get them early then they're less likely to move on to ammo's and the like.

I see Ray Daniels and Joe Scafidi are also on there BC. Both haven't played since 2015

Can tell you a bit about 3 of the young boys from watching some PSA footy - all 3 played at Hale, graduated in 2015.

Ashton Williamson is a 204cm ruckman from Paraburdoo, has a lot of filling out to do but very talented with his tap work. Plays a bit like Tim English. Has had significant injuries throughout his youth and will take time.

Martin Kaker is an extremely athletic boy from Kalgoorlie, plays as a key forward. Has a beautifully accurate and long kick on goal and takes big contested marks. Very agile on the ground also. He too has had significant injury problems, which unfortunately kept him out of the State 18s games this season which he was a late inclusion into the squad for.

Jye Harris is a very versatile player from Esperance - has played all over the ground for our colts this year and won the B&F. Quite a big body for a young lad - well built above the waist and 195cm. This has seen him used effectively as a big bodied midfielder, but was most effective as a key defender for the colts this year. Played his school footy as a key forward alongside Kaker, taking big contested marks.

Can certainly see some reserves games for particularly Harris at some stage in the season. Main thing is though that hopefully the boys continue to develop.

cheers LD. it sounds like a few of the young blokes have potential which is great. hopefully they stick with it and the club gives them opportunities to develop.

There are a few more colts coming up than what are on the site.

Jack Beverley Still eligible to play colts and coming back from a knee reco, but a class player and will be more than handy once fit.

Tom Breeze another coming back from a Knee reco but another big body and class.

Liam Catalfamo very capable half back for the colts and was in the leadership group.

Sheldon Cooper cousin of Jarrod Oakley Nichols and can play. Tall and mobile.

Luke Halligan younger brother of Kyle Halligan coming off of shoulder surgery. Hard at it left footer.

Ben (Chopper) Reid Big body hard hitting (sent a few to hospital) Forward come Back runs in straight lines and doesn't take a backward step.

So there is some quality coming through.

Well lets see these boys get a decent opportunity firstly in the 2's then if they show something there, get a shot at league. I really don't see the need for any recruiting for the league aside from a decent ruckman.

Yes, this kid is an absolute gun. Was BOG in his reserves debut in round 15 this year up until the point where he did his ACL.

Quite possibly, until blokes unexpectedly move on before the start of next season, then we might need to react a little bit.

E.g. Clearly Lewis Krakouer has been picked up to cover the inevitable loss of Liam.

LD, Krakouer is no better than the likes of current reserves boys in Shaquille and Yarren.....surely Halligan and Sokol will fill in for Ryan as that x factor small forward?....But hey Krakouer proves me wrong than fair due......but really surprised you guys have listed him.....think he is only 170 odd cm.....whilst Ryan is 180 cm with a wee bit of bounce.....dont think Krakouer has as much bounce in his step as Ryan does.

I hope you're not trolling SD...DG will delete your post in a flash if that's the case....and anyway, it's fantastic the way you bogans promote youth into the league team. you must all be very proud...wait a minute...didn't you only win 2 games this year and finish last? hmmm...that's not very good.
