Goods ID is good but IS and Reb let him down.
General rule is 12 for those 2 skills at least for bigs.

TV is going to struggle also.

But with both these guys you never know. But I doubt it. Will be good players long term for you if you get their build more balanced.

Phillips could for sure. Focus on IS, RB and ID and get it going. Got to get all to 12 at least. He is about the same levels there as my guy who just finished 2 seasons in 21 NT side. But again his JS/Jr is a issue and could hold him back. Will need to be very strong in others to get over the line.

Dodd too late at 19 to make it in 21 NT

Knell could become a good outside focused SF. Get OD to 12+, ID to 10+ then focus on JR/JS. But his potential means he may fall short.

I would focus on Phillips and the top 2. Would give you 3 good Bigs for your side and Phillips could make 21 Nt side.
If you want more of a training plan pm and I can give you some tips to get him there.

My opinion on who is U21 material (assuming all are Australian).

Shane Goodes very unlikely but you will know very soon, sometimes there are few big men to pick from.

Tobias van den Hout one season to go also very unlikely, also needs a ton of rebounding.

Wilbert Phillips has horrible secondaries but rock solid primaries and great height, he is a great chance.

Duke Dodd and Homer Knell have too low potential I would not train them unless you plan for an entire season of rebounding (would be good for Goodes, Hout and wouldn't hurt Phillips) and they can be trainees four and five.

Thanks for the input everyone, I think that has helped solidify in my mind the direction to go from here.

If anybody else has any advice or mentoring tips for me it would still be appreciated, thanks!

Train Dodd and Knell, fire the rest :)

Fire your whole team.

Thanks for the love guys :) <3

Whilst you're at it... FIRE LORDY!... :-D
