Some Good News For The Kangaroos
The Swans and Crows have added players to their main lists with NSW scholarship players, and the Eagles will reportedly add a player to their rookie list too, and the Kangaroos may also be about to benefit from the talent in New South Wales.
James Wilsen, a Kangaroos, NSW scholarship player, has now been added to the unlisted players that are able to train with the Kangaroos before the draft, David Trotter and Jarrod Bannister are the other players there. The Kangaroos have not announced anything about Wilsen, about selecting him in the draft, but they should add him to their list. He is a big, powerful centre half forward prospect and he makes Leigh Brown look like Matthew Lappin. Wilsen is 195cm, and at least 95kg.
If Wilsen does get drafted he will join Bird and Walker as the first NSW scholarship players in the AFL. Another Big W will probably come through that system next year as ruckman Max Wilson could join the Dockers. Geelong fans will also have a year to learn how to pronounce Ediriwickrama, in 2009 the speedy Ranga Ediriwickrama will probably join the Cats.
The Kangaroos have also come to an arrangement with Werribee in the VFL and they will replace Tasmania as one of the teams with access to the Kangaroos' that are not playing in the AFL.
