Fantastic the way they give the boys their dads numbers - and lovely to see them involved like this
Whatever the outcome, and clearly I'd prefer many multiple premiership players to emerge from this group, I hope its a positive experience for the lads
2019 is going to be an interesting draft......especially if they are all extremely talented footballers......hopefully they are a little like Lachie Hunter was in his draft year, good but unspectacular

Maybe that's why Dalrymple left, he would have had nothing to do next year!
From the u/18 AFL Academy vs North VFL game two weeks ago (from aflcentral.com.au):
#7 Rhylee West – West was a bulldozer all day for the academy in the midfield, he started strong with nine disposals in the 1st quarter and just willed himself in every contest. West was physical all day laying nine tackles and getting under the skin of his senior opponents, in the 2nd quarter he laid an impressive fend off that Dustin Martin would be proud of. His attack on the ball and good hands at the stoppages once again reminded us of his famous father. Finished the day with 16 disposals.
And Buku too:
18 Buku Khamis – Overall Buku Khamis defended strongly against his North Melbourne opponents. His athleticism as a key position player was impressive, regularly leaping into the air to spoil, although he dropped a couple of marks and was hesitant to mark the ball overhead at times. Showed off some dash out of defence outpacing tacklers which was encouraging.
In cliches, West sounds 'ready to go from round one next year' and Khamis sounds like, 'an exciting key position project player'.
