IN the build up to football eventually returning,\u00a0Draft Central<\/em>\u00a0 takes a look at some of this year\u2019s brightest names who have already garnered attention for state representation at Under 17 or Under 18s level in 2019. While plenty can change between now and then, we will provide a bit of an insight into players, how they performed at pre-season testing,<\/em>\u00a0and some of our scouting notes on them from last year.<\/p>\n

Next under the microscope in our AFL Draft watch is West Adelaide prospect Bailey Chamberlain<\/strong><\/a>, a midfielder with well-balanced inside and outside traits. The 179cm prospect is exceptionally quick off the mark, able to burn opponents either on the outside or through traffic, and finish his carries with penetrative kicks.<\/p>\n

Chamberlain managed to crack the Bloods’ Reserves grade for three appearances as a bottom-ager in 2019, and will be looking to go a step further once SANFL football returns in 2020. He will also play a key role among South Australia’s Under 18 midfield group, adding a touch of flair to the mix. Catch up on how he has been tracking thus far.<\/p>\n

QUOTES FROM PRESEASON<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Goals…<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cJust trying to push for a League game really. I\u2019ve just been working as hard as I can to try and push into that selection so hopefully I can play some good footy in the Reserves and then get the call-up\u2026 and definitely (playing State Under 18s) is my major goal this year, just to play the champs, play every game and play well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strengths…<\/strong> \u201cMy ability to play both inside and outside. I reckon I\u2019m a pretty versatile player in the midfield, I can play that winger role or play an inside role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Favourite teammates…<\/strong> \u201cDefinitely Riley (Thilthorpe)<\/strong>. We\u2019re best mates so it\u2019s pretty good running out next to him. Taj Schofield<\/strong> obviously, I go to school with him so I\u2019m pretty close with him \u2013 those are the two main ones.\u201d<\/p>\n
