Rookie pick 6: Tyson Stengle

[Yeahright]

get a top 10 in and we get Logue   we get a kpd who has rance like traits but is probably better standing next to an opponent.\

Wait so is he a KPD or a 3rd tall

I gathered he is a glass half full type

[big tone]

So what's his knock? Besides height. Highlights actually looked quite impressive

Agree. The kid looks like he has great skills.

The question is do the recruiters pick a highly skilled small or a tall who is not very good and thus has been overlooked by every team? TBH. I prefer injecting talent into the team.

The bigger question is if Stengle is a pick 6 rookie and Bolton is pick 27 in the main draft...and we are going off thinking about how good these 2 are, have we missed the bus this year by spreading our cheeks for Prestia?

We had 6 and 24 and the Lids deal coming our way...i just hope we havent once again gone the quick fix to save jobs

I think everybody here wanted to keep pick 6. Pick 24 for Caddy was reasonable. The problem is we promised a 2016 first round draft pick for Prestia almost a year before the deal was made. The club was trying desperately to get pick 13 from GWS for Lids but because the deal with Gibbs failed, pick 13 never went to GWS and we were forced to keep our promise and trade our only first round pick. Why the club makes promises like that, nobody knows. I think Prestia is an ok player as he is an upgrade on a lot of what we have. However, I'll be interested in Will Brodie's career as he was obtainable.

We gave up 6 and 24 for Prestia and 27 .  As for us promising, yeah, it got us into the situation where we had to get yarran and nearly coughed up 12 and we learnt from that and went out and did it again. Why? because Benny and the Jets(the board) wanted to show us they could land a big fish...i mean Prestia is a big fish yes? Becauise the last time i looked Tom Mitchell was a bigger fish and he went for pick 14 and some change....what a stuffing mess..  Put the Lids deal through and we are laughing going into the next draft with 2 R1s after picking up a couple of beauties in Scrimshaw and Cox.

We gave up pick 6 and next years 2nd round pick for Prestia and pick 24

27 came as compo for losing Vickery

ok...my mistake then. We got 24 and gave it away for Caddy.    So we still could have landed Cox and Prestia then.   Just dont like the thougth that we have picked up a player who has been in the game for 5 years and at his 3rd club.

IMO  this trade/draft period was a sign of no confidence in the current recruiting dept and it was deemed safer to go the used car lot rather than go to the drafft for a rebuild.  Lets face it, they added the expertise of Luke Williams to the likes of FJ, Matt Clarke, Richard Taylor and Blair Hartley 3 years ago and we are well aware of the farse they have made of the drafts.  As i said before, I cannot for the life of me understand how not one of these guys was shown the door, after we apparently sought reasons for our demise. Outside the IP they possesed re. this year, which to me meant nought anyway, seeing as we had committed to Prestia and basically put ourselves out of a draft that most teams were falling over backwards to get into.  Its the quick fix road once again for us. Buys the board another 5-7 years of stability as we develop again 

Agree with everything you have said FG.
Giving up pick 6 for Prestia is a massive mistake.
I couldn't give a poo if and who we promised, pick 6 was massive overs for a fat, injury prone, only just above average midfielder (IMO)
We should have just told GC thanks but no thanks for that price and move on. But the RFC not having a backbone to go to the draft with that pick decided to take the easy way out.
Although I must admit I like the addition of Caddy for the pick we gave up.

Excitement is in the blood for brilliant small forward Tyson Stengle

ANDREW CAPEL,
The Advertiser
November 19, 2016

IT is all in the blood for Woodville-West Torrens excitement machine Tyson Stengle.

Few footballers have such a pedigree as the 171cm pocket rocket.

Stengle is related to Crows star Eddie Betts, former Sydney 303-game star Michael O’Loughlin and ex-Crow Ricky O’Loughlin, along with former Saint Terry Milera, who is now at Glenelg.

And while Michael O’Loughlin has been his biggest role model, Stengle makes no bones about who he is modelling his game on.

“I want to be like Eddie,’’ the brilliant indigenous small forward said.

“My game is probably based around what he does because I’m the same height and I like to run, jump and tackle.

“I watch a lot of him play and try to take things from his game to put into mine.’’

With brilliant skills, blistering pace and a love of tackling and applying ferocious forward pressure, Stengle could be the nearest thing to Betts in this year’s AFL draft crop.

A Year 12 student at Le Fevre High School and a member of Port Adelaide’s AFL Aboriginal Academy, along with fellow Croweater and small forward draft prospect Kym LeBois from North Adelaide, Stengle is ranked by Champion Data as SA’s fourth-best prospect.

He averaged the second-most Champion Data ranking points (104) of any small forward at the national under-18 championships and ranked first for ground ball-gets inside 50 (four).

Stengle also ranked inside the top 10 at the goalkicking test at the AFL draft combine.

He illustrated his goalkicking prowess by kicking 22 goals in 10 reserves matches for the Eagles last season while also booting 13 in nine under-18 games.

Stengle said watching his heralded relatives excel on the football field has motivated him to follow in their footsteps.

“Watching them play, being around them and having them offer me some advice has really made me want to get the best out of myself,’’ he said.

“I’ve worked really hard on my football and being with the Port academy this year has helped me to become more professional on and off the field.

“Following in the footsteps of Michael, Eddie and the other boys and getting drafted would be a dream come true, so hopefully things go my way.’’

Twelve AFL clubs have interviewed Stengle in the lead-up to next Friday’s national draft.

AFL draft combine: SA hopeful Tyson Stengle, Woodville West Torrens

Peter Argent
The Courier
25 Oct 2016, 2:30 p.m.


Tyson Stengle is from the Portland Thunder in the heart of Port Adelaide territory, where he started playing our national football code at Under 10s level.

The exceptionally skilled footballer proceeded through the Port Magpies development squad, but decided to move to Woodville West Torrens when the SANFL disbanded this clubs junior programs.

From the 2015 and ’16 seasons, Stengle has played predominately Under 18s Macca’s Cup football last winter, and has shared his clubs commitments between Under 18s and reserves football this year.

“My coach at the Eagles Shane Reardon has been an important mentor in football,” Stengle explained.

“And I have a bit of football heritage in the family.

“Uncle Alex Stengle played a handful of league games for Centrals.

“Both Michael and Ricky O’Loughlin are uncles as well.”

Both the O’Loughlin’s played AFL football, with Michael becoming a 303-game superstar of the Sydney Swans.

Younger brother Ricky played nine games (2000-2001) for the Adelaide Crows, as well as league football with the Magpies.

Alex Stengle, after with his SANFL efforts was an All Australian amateur and the first division one indigenous Pfitzner medallist when playing at Gepps Cross.

His older brother Anthony played 16 games for the Port Adelaide Magpies reserves this year and has been a pair of Port Adelaide’s aboriginal academy as well.

At SANFL reserves level, which included an appearance in the Grand Final this year Stengle kicked 22 goals with a best haul of four against North Adelaide in July and a quartet of three-goal efforts, displaying his consistency.

Noted as an exceptional decision maker with strong goal sense, the 171cm, 69 kg Stengle has genuine pace.

He has displayed a strong attribute to handle pressure and his composed in traffic.

Stengle was a consistent performer in a difficult small forward role in South Australian colours at under 18s level this season.

In the weekend before the national AFL combine, Stengle played with the Koonibba Roosters in the annual state-wide aboriginal championships.

Brenton Phillips’ thoughts on Tyson Stengle:

“Firstly Tyson is a respectful young man.

“Tyson has many of the traits of a complete small forward.

“He has exceptional skills and game sense.

 “Calmness, being cool in the heat of battle and controlled when he has the ball in hand are among his strong traits.

“He is also very difficult to tackle, which you don’t see often.”

AFL Players with similar traits and strengths:

Eddie Betts (younger days)

AFL Draft Range:

For a club needing a smart small forward in the modern game, they would do well to collect Stengle because of his strong traits and ability to improve. Range 45 to rookie.

Tyson Stengle taken by Richmond in AFL rookie draft

TYSON Stengle took a host of calls from family members after Richmond selected him in the AFL rookie draft, but one was extra special.

It came from his uncle and Sydney Swans great Michael O’Loughlin.

“Michael rang me earlier to congratulate me,” said Stengle on Monday, after being taken at No.6 with the Tigers’ only selection.

“He just told me to put my head down and work hard.”

Stengle, 18, has football royalty in his blood.

The Woodville-West Torrens small forward is also related to Adelaide star Eddie Betts, ex-Crow Ricky O’Loughlin and former St Kilda forward Terry Milera, who is now at Glenelg.

Michael played more than 300 AFL games with the Swans and Ricky appeared nine times for the Crows as well as in the SANFL for Port Adelaide.

Stengle, who was at a cousin’s house when he was picked, could not believe his luck after missing out in last week’s national draft.

“Ricky (O’Loughlin) sent me a text, too,” Stengle said.

“I’m pretty excited.

“Everyone went crazy and the family was really happy and everyone was congratulating me.

“I am a bit nervous (about moving to Melbourne) but I’m looking forward to the experience.”

Stengle, of Ethelton, completed Year 12 at Le Fevre High School and was a member of Port Adelaide’s AFL Aboriginal Academy, along with fellow Croweater and Carlton recruit Kym LeBois.

He averaged the second most Champion Data ranking points (104) of any small forward at the national under-18 championships and ranked first for ground-ball gets inside 50 (four).

Stengle also ranked inside the top 10 at the goalkicking test at the AFL draft combine.

He booted 22 goals in 10 reserves matches for the Eagles last season and managed 13 majors in nine under-18 games.

“The (draft) combine was a good experience … it was really busy and tough.

“I want to work on my endurance.”

Stengle is most looking forward to working with Richmond’s small forward Shane Edwards who was also originally from Adelaide.
