Scholarship kids

[BigMart]

Just did some research on the boys....sound OK

Josh Duncan and Blake McGrath
Both senior Premiership players with Pennant Hills this season

McGrath
8 Senior Games--------4 times in Best--------2 goals
2 Reserves Games-----2 times in best--------1 goal
8 U18 Games-----------5 times in best--------4 goals

Saw some photos of McGrath playing, he is a beanpole, and has a leap.

J.Duncan
13 Senior Games-------3 times in Best--------15 goals

K.Murphy - St.Ignatius College
5 Games------------------4 times in the best----8 goals

Excellent work... Hopefully McGrath can come along, that would be a huge bonus to have two Big Mac's in a few years dominating the ruck. Murphy & Duncan both sound like players also, I believe Duncan will be eligible for the draft next year, and Murphy the year after? Am I right Marto?

IIRC Duncan was NSW best player at the national championships?

Be interesting down the track to see if the scholarship program instills a greater sense of loyalty in the kids

These guys both played in the Sydney AFL Grand Final for Pennant Hills which they won handsomely(100+ points), I saw them a couple of times in the finals. Low standard and poor skills in the GF generally - awful day for footy (30+ degrees and very windy)

I think McGrath would spend a fair bit of time in the Sandy reserves, he's quite raw.

posted a few observations in here http://www.saintsational.com/forum/view ... ht=#650394

But to repeat!

Here's McGrath (43). As Big Mart says, a beanpole. But he is mobile and I think will give our guys first use of the ball if he can handle the rigours of senior footy in Victoria. NSW AFL is a different level, many athletic/physical types with so so skills.

Oh, for recent converts to the St. Kilda football club... McGrath's act of propelling the egg shaped thing from the centre bounce by fist is known as a "hit -out".

Once you see a few you get very attached to your team getting them.

Here's an action shot of Josh Duncan kicking a goal.



Looks like a fancy pants "no-hands" drop punt.


He's rumoured to be quite a talent, not eligible until next year from memory. Did well among the seniors from all reports.


Photos from http://www.harboursport.com/safl_grandf_608.html look for numbers 43 and 48.

A midfielder that can kick goals,could really use one of those....if he has
any pace,even better.

With all those cars around the ground it looks just like a Melbourne suburban or country game and is probably about the same standard!

Dont get too carried away...
