IN the build up to football eventually returning,\u00a0Draft Central<\/em>\u00a0takes a look at some of this year\u2019s brightest names who have already represented their state 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 Oakleigh Chargers’ Bailey Laurie<\/strong><\/a>, a smooth moving forward who can also run through midfield. The Caulfield Grammar student broke out towards the end of last year’s NAB League season, helping Oakleigh to its premiership triumph with an excellent first half performance in the decider. The 178cm prospect boasts elite agility and creativity forward of centre, able to weave his way into dangerous positions and bring others into the game. While he was squeezed out of the Chargers’ engine room as a bottom-ager, he will look to have an impact there in 2020 as one of his region’s top prospects.<\/p>\n

2019 SCOUTING NOTES:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

NAB League Grand Final vs. Eastern<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

By:\u00a0Peter Williams<\/em><\/p>\n

Has his moments where he can break a game open, kicking a couple of goals either side of half-time and really making his presence felt. The bottom-age forward is a metres-gained player and while he missed a couple of opportunities with two behinds, he still amassed 17 disposals, five marks, four tackles and crucially had six inside 50s, constantly applying pressure on the Ranges.<\/p>\n
