Next Generation Academy

Postby Crazy Dazz on Sat Sep 28, 2019 6:14 pm

I was impressed to see that The Eagles have the biggest list of eligible players. Nice to see we're giving it a red hot crack.
As I understand the rules, we get a minimum 15% discount if they are bid on in the ND, and if not can list them for nix as Cat B rookies.

Poch Amores
Talented midfielder Poch Amores has been reward for his superb Landmark Country Football Championships by winning the Ken Baxter Medal as the fairest and best player in the colts division.
Amores became the third Great Southern Storm player in history to win the medal, etching his name alongside Corey Linthorne (2017) and Logan Stubber (2015), after being judged by the umpires as the best player across three days of colts competition.
The 17-year-old Royals product was an ultra-consistent contributor through midfield and out on the wing as Storm won their first four games of the carnival before falling to South West in the grand final.

Izeldin Bol
A small but talented Track & Field Athlete

Jermarl Daly

187cm 82kg
18, and playing Colts for Swan Districts
The South Hedland product showed flashes of his brilliance against the Sharks. One moment of his brilliance came in the second quarter, when he took a fantastic pack mark and then nailed the goal to bring the Swans within a goal of the Sharks. He finished with seven possessions, three tackles and a goal.

Fangak Gatluak

Aliyud Luko

175cm 68kg
18, played a few Colts games for East Perth

Grahame Murphy
From the Pilbara region I believe

Preston Rosario
https://www.wafl.com.au/player/preston-rosario-1
177cm 77kg
18, played a couple of Colts games for East Perth
Preston used to hang out at his local park kicking the ball around with his mates and playing Auskick before following then to his local club at Mount Hawthorn. From there the football journey has taken Preston into school footy as Wesley College in Perth and a place in the East Perth (WAFL) Development Program. Now he is in Townsville representing his state at the All Nations Cup.
Like many other boys at this carnival, Preston knew early on in his playing days that he was bigger, faster and stronger than many of his mates and fellow players. Now he wants to put that to its maximum use and follow the pathway to one day play AFL football for the West Coast Eagles.

Atem Deng
https://www.wafl.com.au/player/atem-deng
181cm 68kg
19, been playing Colts for Swans for 3 years
The West Coast Eagles’ Next-Generation Academy member was lively in the forward line for the Swans. In the first quarter, he was able to nudge his opponent under the ball, gathered it, burst away from his opponent and then laced out Ayden Cartwright inside 50. In the last quarter, he took a courageous mark when he went back with the flight of the ball despite on-coming traffic. He finished with 15 possessions and four marks.

Max Fabre
https://www.wafl.com.au/player/max-fabre
179cm 71kg
19, played his first season of Colts for East Perth

Nyika John
https://www.wafl.com.au/player/nyika-john
184cm 83kg
19, now playing in the Magoos for Perth
The West Coast Next Generation Academy member tried extremely hard on the half-back line for Perth. He finished with 15 possessions and four marks, as he tried to give his team some drive to score.

Sebit Kuek
https://www.wafl.com.au/player/sebit-kuek
193cm 69kg
18, played a full season in his 2nd year of Colts for East Perth, kicking 20 Goals as a Ruck/Fwd
The West Coast Eagles’ Next-Generation Academy member was lively for the Royals, rotating between the forward line and the ruck. He finished with 13 possessions, 16 hit-outs, eight marks, five tackles, three inside 50s and a goal. The highlight of his game came late in the second quarter, when he took a strong pack mark just before the siren went. He then went back and coolly slotted the goal from a tight angle after the siren to give the Royals a 25-point lead at the main break
Apart from his apparent affliction with Notte Syndrome, he seems lively.

Jacob Msando
https://www.wafl.com.au/player/jacob-msando
179cm 77kg
19, playing in the magoos for East Perth but actually managed a couple of League games.
The 2016 WA Under 16s State Academy member was a lively player for the Royals as a dashing wingman. In 18 games, he averaged 15 possessions, four tackles and three marks and was often the Royals’ link-up player due to his exhilarating speed and damaging skills. At East Perth he ranked third for total possessions (272), second for marks (53) and first for tackles (68). His best games came against Claremont in round 12 (22 possessions, five marks and four tackles), South Fremantle in round 13 (29 possessions, seven marks, seven tackles and six inside 50s) and Perth in round 17 (21 possessions, five tackles, four inside 50s and a goal).

Unfortunately most of them are 19 years old and under 180cm which doesn't bode well for their careers as AFL footballers. Might be lucky if one out of the list gets to play a game for our WAFL side.

They're also all spectacularly light-weight, even the taller guys.
I suspect bigger guys from many of these backgrounds are more likely to gravitate towards basketball.
Still maybe there's another Willie in there somewhere.

I don't think we have any this year. A couple are due next year I believe.

Is there n age limit?
A couple of the guys above look like they might be good Cat B Rookie prospects. Nyika John and Sebit Kuek.

But given the current financial squeeze, you'd have to wonder if the club was prepared to spend money on guys with such a slight chance of making it.

Seems to imply that he's still part of the Academy. Could be worth a B List spot

WAFL stats point to no.

193cm and 69kgs points to him being a pencil.

Have a watch here:
https://youtu.be/DiGpyMKpi_I?t=3880
Pretty much sums up where he's at:
Playing League and Reserves for the Royals, extremely raw, and skinnier than you would think humanly possible. (Apparently he's up to a whopping 75kg now)
But isn't that what the program is for?
He's a long way off being even good WAFL quality, but he is a freakish athlete. Tall and damn quick.

He wouldn't get drafted, so we could add him as a Cat B rookie, costs us nothing but salary. Put him in the gym and the Eagles development for a couple of years, and see what comes out.

Granted, he's not the ludicrous rort that other clubs are pulling with their NGAs, but we know the Eagles were never going to do that. They've taken it literally, reaching out migrants who are relatively new to Aussie Rules, and he's the result.

At a glance, he seems the most likely to have a crack.
