Congratulations to all the SA lads, especially James Aish, very pleasing to see.

Scharenburg and Kennedy in there to from the Bays. Kenno to go mid as a mid to late first rounder this year possible early 2nd rounder. Scahrenburg like Aish ahs another year to go before he can be picked up.

Well done to all those selected, of those I've seen Jesse Aish is a cracker, no fear and has good skills. Grundy is very mobile with football smarts, Toumpas is a ready made AFL player,and Sam Colquhuon is a class act. If he hadn't got injured I have no doubt Troy Menzel would be in the team as well, since his league debut last year he's never looked out of his depth at a higher level. Hopefully for the local comps sake some of them get drafted by locally based AFL clubs so we can see a bit more of them in action.
