Tac/u18 Thread

It was good for us. And school footy is their own fault.

From what Iā€™ve seen hes a very level headed kid, hard to believe he would be having any off field issues.

Accidentally deleted this, Iā€™ll have the comparisons up soon

All these stats can be found on the AFL Draft Central Website but Iā€™ve made things easier for you guys in terms of ranking these players, I recommend checking the site outs for stats not just for TAC but also the under 18 championships, keep in mind Bytels numbers are swayed with 1 game only playing a quarter and another game where he only played a half (got 23 touches in that half haha)

Amazing, mate. Love your work.

Sounds like Bailey Smith is perfect for us. Iā€™m guessing these are averages, 11 clearancesā€¦
Youā€™ve rated him 7th, do you see him going around there.
Not much hype around Bytel, is he looking like a second rounder?

Yeah averages and he only played the 2 games but still impressive, his range is 3-8 at the moment I think

Have any of those players been playing significantly less midfield time, or are they all pretty much first choice mids for their teams?

Just wondering if any are getting those stats from the backline.

I still think RCD is the pick for us.

Most are first start mids, RCD plays the least and Berry spent a fair time forward aswell

Interesting, thanks.
So perhaps a bump for them in the contested stats, but on the other hand their disposal should also be a bit cleaner.

Dandy are giving the Rebels an absolute bath

Top 20 bolter Sturt has done some nice things although he doesnā€™t look 100%

Well, those stats answer my earlier question about Duursma. Heā€™s more efficient with the ball than I suspected. Has a pretty decent balance of numbers, actually. Not that stats always mean a lot.

Hately BOG in the SANFL reserves semi final today

Surely, Smith is a top 5 pick, is as bankable as anyone in the draft.

Rozee or Hately at our pick if both available?

Hately for me.
Hately is a genuine mid from what Iā€™ve seen. Rozee is more of a flanker IMO

It would depend one what we thought was a greater need a for/Mid or a no frills inside mid.

Blonde Myers vs Tall Fantasia.
Gimme Rozee.

There is a tall Fantasia?

Seriously to hell with Shiel if we are in the draft mix for another Orazio
