YOUNGstars CLASS OF 08

[whatever]

Midget midfielder who has come up through the grades, tough little nugget that has nothing special other than a bit of speed, some balls and the ability to find a lot of the ball

[whatever]

Keep an eye for a young lad by the name of Todd Sheppard...

Playing in the Under 19's for Centrals at the moment and is a bit of a gunn on baller. who's hard at it and has good endurance and skills...

I actually played footy with him up at Golden Grove and he won the Div 5 medal last year as an 18 year old kid, not a bad effort...

If he can stay switched on, should be able to push for ressies and eventually league selection...

Probably more a case of "watch this space" than him setting the League on fire in 2008...

GO U DOGGIES...

Big Phil...

Saw this kid play for the first time today.

A real hard nut who centrals should really invest some time into.

Quite capable of staring at SANFL level but still a long way away

[whatever]

ok lets go left field kids who will not be drafted but will become sanfl footballers but have yet to make an impact


South - Tarak Regilolo
Glenelg - Seb Guilhaus
West - Nathan Brown
Eagles - Ben Arbon
Port - Jordan Erskine
Centrals - Thomas Dunne
North - Josh Starke
Norwood - Toby Schulz
Sturt - Peter Weir

I see that Dunne was named for his first reserves game on the weekend.

I was just wondering if any of you doggies saw the game and if so how he went.

Don't know much about the lad 'whatever' but he didn't do too bad in his first reserves game...

He ended up kicking 3 goals with maybe half a dozen touches and maybe 2 or 3 marks. Played a kind of floating CHF or flanker and has good size about him. Acyually kicked 2 of his 3 goals after sirens, the first one after the 1/4 time siren and the 2nd one after recieving a whack across the chops as the siren was going for half time.

Did drop a pretty easy mark in the dying stages of the game, that ended up being a tight finish, and copped a verbal battering from Chris Gowans, who was the first to go up to him and congatulate him for a good debut after Matty Westhoff kicked the winning goal with only a few mnutes to spare, much like the league game outcome.

Do you know anything about the lad, where he is from, how old etc etc... ???

Tyson Slattery is one that has really impressed me after playing only 3 league games. He is deceptively tall, is very tough and has shown good composure and seems to have a good skill level. I think that he will be a chance to go late in the draft and hopefully for Tyson he does, hopefully for westies that is to either Adelaide or the Power.

Add Jonathon Beech to this list. Has been kicking bags of goals in the 19's from a fdlank.

Had his first Reserves game last week and kicked the first 3 goals.

I dont know a lot about him other than he is an under 19 rather than an under 18 kid

I have seen him play 3 times over the last 2 years and each time he has done a few things that suggests he has what it takes to be a powerful midfielder but it would appear his fitness is not the level that you want. A natural goal kicker and as a player he has a high hurt factor.

redigolo is a real good kid, reads the play very well for a 17 year old and gets in after it, he's a terrific prospect.
