Re: Bulldog Scholarship Players- anyone have any news?

Jones played under 18's last week and got 52 possies and 4 goals.

Midfielder who can run all day, better than Craig Bird by a long way according to my bro who umpires in that league.

Youngest guy in the league, gets tagged every week in the seniors. Already dominates games in the seniors.

My brother is a Pies supporter.

Fair effort.

Is Jones eligible to be drafted this year?

That warms my heart, especially for a 3rd round draft pick

Braedon Jones update time.


Jones' Newcastle City won the Black Diamond League premiership over Cardiff.

(Background: Cardiff are seriously cashed up and have spent bucketloads of cash stealing players from othe BDL clubs as well as bring up blokes from Victoria. Earlier this year they were short odds-on to win it. I think I read somewhere they only lost 1 game last year as well - the grand final. Chokers!).


Jones was named 4th best in the grand final.


He played 15 senior games for 11 goals and was named in the best players 7 times, including 4 of the last 6 games. He was 3 times named BOG.

He also played 4 games in the U18's including his 52 possesion game v Terrigal Avoca.

He did play U18s and then back up and played seniors on the same day once.

When he was dropped for those 4 games he had been named in the best players in the seniors the previous 3 weeks! I can only assume he needed 3 games to qualify for the U18's finals. The 4th U18 game was the semi final and they lost by a point.

I thought this scholarship only applied to NSW players, it was introduced to give some of the kids from NSW a better chance to get into the system. Thus, we couldn't do this to Cordy.

This will work out well for my to young pups if the Bulldogs can give them a scholarship.

I've already slipped the club a note about them!

I would not get too carried away untill these guys play against quality competition. It would be a pretty ordinary league up there.

Hell, I got named best player for my high school team in four of six games back in the 80's......maybe I could have made a mention on Big Footy had it been around back then...

Just made a mention...

You'd have three simultaneous threads talking you up and a mock draft with you in the the top two rounds at least.

I agree with your sentiments 100%, that said, he can only dominate the opponents he is given. He seems to absolutely kill kids his age and moderaetly dominate men which isn't too bad for a 16yo.

Braedon Jones was selected in the RAMS initial training squad of 40 for this years champs.

Re: Bulldog Scholarship Players- anyone have any news?

Braedon Jones has moved to the AFL Sydney Premier League competition with the Balmain Dockers. AFL Sydney premier league is the top comp in Sydney and is a much better standard than his previous comp.

Re: Bulldog Scholarship Players- anyone have any news?

Further to young Braedon Jones, he is in the RAMS squad, and was to play in Melbourne last weekend, however suffered a mystery back injury - potentially was a season ending injury. However, the young fella has, by all accounts, worked incredibly hard to get over it, and was given permission to play for Balmain on Saturday, in the Sydney premier league. Apparently only played half a game in total (10 on 10 off), but still was 3rd in club's best on ground, and got a vote in league B&F, even though the team was beaten by 80 or so points.

Depending on fitness tests this week, I'd presume that he'd be playing at Victoria Park this coming Sunday, against the Calder Cannons, I think???

Any news on how young Chris Ogle is going down there?

Still injured.

Re: Bulldog Scholarship Players- anyone have any news?

That's a shame - is it still his shoulder giving him trouble?

Late news - Braedon Jones has been named in the RAMS team to play this coming Sunday.

He has glandular fever, out for a month or so.
