    Five Sydney juniors listed by AFL clubs

    Article from AFL NSW-ACT

    Players from Sydney to be listed by AFL clubs:
    Scott Reed (Pennant Hills) to Collingwood
    Ranga Ediwickrama (Pennant Hills) to Geelong
    Will Sierakowski (North Shore) to Hawthorn
    Blake McGrath (Pennant Hills) to St Kilda
    Chris Ogle (UNSW-ES) to Western Bulldogs

    Last year, 5 players from the Scholarship program went to AFL clubs - 3 of them from Sydney, 1 from Broken Hill and 1 from Black Diamond AFL (originally a Campbelltown junior). 2 of them went on to play senior AFL football in 2008.

    Congratulations to the 5 new players to join AFL lists - and they will be in elite company, joining the top 5 AFL clubs in 2008. Hopefully we'll see some more Sydney juniors making it at AFL level.

    The edge is not the limit, It's just the starting point...

    Na we cant claim him unfortunately. His dad played for us and coached in 94,95 and returned this year to coach, but craig never played in campbelltown. He actually played soccer as a kid when they lived at Engadine and then they moved to Nelson Bay where he started playing footy.
