It might only be May but I thought I might start this thread which we can continually update throughout the season re: 2015 Draft & Trade prospects
If anyone has any inside info about certain draft prospects or would like to update the thread with relevant TAC, SANFL or WAFL player stats as they come to hand be my guest
For any stat info for draft prospects playing in the TAC Cup, SANFL or WAFL they can be found at the links below – stats are usually updated every Monday for games played at the weekends
TAC Cup – http://www.foxsportspulse.com/comp_info.cgi?c=1-3020-0-0-0&a=FIXTURE&compID=339771 - just choose round and click on match centre for stats
SANFL IGA League (Seniors) – http://www.sanfl.com.au/league/statistics/2015_league_statistics_/
SANFL IGA League (Reserves) - http://www.sanfl.com.au/league/reserves_stats/
SANFL Macca’s Cup (U18s) - http://www.sanfl.com.au/maccas_cup/u18_stats/
WAFL (Seniors, Reserves and Colts) - http://www.wafl.com.au/live/ - choose round for stats
Right to get it started looking at some future prospects from Victoria (playing TAC Cup) it seems the two players at the top of most experts lists are the 2 Darcys
Darcy Tucker ( North Ballarat Rebels) - Height: 184cm, Weight: 78kg, DOB: 23/01/1997
Darcy Parish (Geelong Falcons) - Height: 181cm, Weight: 73kg, DOB: 25/07/1997
Both are midfielders and have been known to also play across half-back – at this stage there doesn’t seem to be much between them as they both have the ability to accumulate plenty of ball and use it well.
Re: Current 2015 TAC stats –
Darcy Tucker (played 3 games – up to Round 6)
Rd 2 – v Geelong – 12KE, 5KIE, 7HE, 2HIE, 11HR, 1CM, 5UM, 7TK, 1FF, 1FA, 2G, 2B, 0HO
Rd 5 – v Calder – 19KE, 5KIE, 12HE, 7HIE, 21HR, 0CM, 6UM, 4TK, 1FF, 2FA, 1G, 1B, 0HO
Rd 6 – v Oakleigh – 5KE, 5KIE, 5HE, 1HIE, 7HR, 0CM, 3UM, 5TK, 2FF, 0FA, 0G, 1B, 0HO
Darcy Parish (played 1 game – up to Round 6)
Rd 2 – v North Ballarat – 9KE, 6KIE, 13HE, 6HIE, 8HR, 1CM, 3UM, 1TK, 0FF, 1FA, 0G, 0B, 0HO
A couple other players (mainly mids) to keep in mind are Jacob Weitering (Mid-Def/Dandenong), Rhys Mathesion (Mid/ Geelong), Ryan Clarke (Mid-Fwd/Eastern), Nicholas O’Kearney (Mid/ Calder), Brayden Fiorini (Mid/Northern), Harley Balic (Mid-Fwd/Sandringham), Jade Gresham (Mid/Northern)
Of course there are plenty of interstaters that will come under the radar though some will not be available to be drafted as they likley to be Academy Picks / Father-Son Picks – Ben Keays (Mid/AP to Gold Coast), Callum Mills (Mid/AP to Sydney), Josh Dunkley (Mid / Father-Son to Sydney), Luke Partington (Mid/Port Adelaide), Callum Ah Chee (Mid-Fwd / South Fremantle), Ryan Burton (Fwd / North Adelaide), Matthew Nunn (Mid/Norwood), Kade Stewart (Mid/South Fremantle), Gregory Clark (Mid/Subiaco)
One player though that is likely to come to St Kilda is Father-Son pick Bailey Rice (son of Dean) who is also eligible to play for Carlton under the Father-Son ruling - Height: 184cm, Weight: 81kg, DOB: 10/02/1997
So far Bailey is having a standout TAC Cup year as a defensive midfielder for Dandenong Stingrays and could well become a steal for us if we are able to get for a second or third round draft selection (of course he would firstly need to nominate us over Carlton)
His stats in the 2015 TAC Cup thus far (played 5 out of six rounds)
Rd 2 – v Gippsland – 2KE, 1KIE, 1HE, 0HIE, 0HR, 0CM, 1UM, 4TK, 1FF, 0FA, 0G, 0B, 0HO
Rd 3 – v Geelong – 16KE, 2KIE, 3HE, 0HIE, 7HR, 0CM, 6UM, 1TK, 0FF, 0FA, 0G, 0B, 0HO
Rd 4 – v Bendigo – 12KE, 2KIE, 7HE, 2HIE, 8HR, 1CM, 2UM, 3TK, 2FF, 2FA, 0G, 0B, 0HO
Rd 5 – v Queensland – 15KE, 0KIE, 6HE, 1HIE, 8HR, 1CM, 6UM, 7TK, 5FF, 1FA, 0G, 0B, 0HO
Rd 6 – v NWS/ACT – 17KE, 5KIE, 3HE, 2HIE, 5HR, 6CM, 8UM, 2TK, 1FF, 1FA, 0G, 0B, 0HO
Whilst he hasn’t been hitting the scoreboard given his supposed defensive mid role his effective to ineffective kick ration is off the charts - 62 Effective Kicks to 10 Ineffective Kicks
Whilst he is still developing if he turns out to be as good as his father then I would be pretty happy – if anyone has any further information re: his standing /progress it would be great to hear.

Anyway this initial post whilst not overly informative is something I hope others who are interested in the Draft & Trade prospects can add to as the year continues – as any further relevant stats come to hand I will happy to post them – as most people know plenty of draft information can be found over at BF but it would be good to have something here for those who cant be bothered to venture over there.
If we can make this sticky given information may be added continually it would be much appreciated
