No truth in targetting a gun forward. We could do with another genuine tall to help Brooky in the Ruck which will allow us to settle our front and back ends a little more.
Jim McIntosh played Under 14 in 2007 under the old rules so 2008 was his only year in the Under 16. He'll be Under 18 next year. He did play some Glenelg Under 17 this year but mostly got picked when the college kids weren't playing. He would have been a gun Under 17 next year but not sure where he will be rated as far as SANFL Under 18 goes. Its hard to work out Under 17 and Under 19 some times. I think SANFL clubs still are obsessed with the athletes on the chance they could get drafted which means $$$$$. Now with Under 18, some Sacred Heart kids would have already left school and they only need half the players they did for 19's and 17's, so local clubs should benefit from this.
Johnny Mac (who kicked his 100th goal in last quarter of U/18 GF) is the nicest lad you'll ever meet and just loves the Bombers and doesn't seem too fussed with higher honours. He did play a little bit of Seniors in 2007 but mostly Under 18. We decided to keep him in Under 18 in 2008 to avoid putting too much pressure on him. History shows with our club that an Under 18 flag gives lads so much more confidence with their entry into Seniors so we wanted to keep this side more stable in 2008, which paid off.
Well let me tell you DTH,ive seen ALOT of junior football in the sfl,and young "jimbo" is the most dominating forward ive seen at junior level ever.I dont know if he is dedicated enough but if he is then i really hope the real bombers(being essendon)pik him up coz this lad definately has all the attributes to go all the way.To think he was only an u-14 a year ago is astonishing.I rekn he would grow a better beard than me.
