Xavier Richards



Position: Back/Fwd

Age: 19

Height/Weight: 194cm / 81kg

Club: Sandringham

2013 DT Fan Planner Price:

2013 SC Fan Planner Price:

Kinnear Beatson says: Xavier's shown that he can play at both ends of the ground. He split his year playing in the TAC Cup with the Sandringham Dragons, but also played some games with the Sandringham Zebras in the VFL. With Xavier, we were looking for a key position player and he is keen to come up here and have a run. He's got work to do as all rookies and draftees do, but all the boys we've taken we believe have good heads on their shoulders, they're intelligent young kids, they're fit and we're confident they'll apply themselves really well.

Dane Rampe



Position: Mid

Age: 22

Height/Weight: 189cm / 89kg

Club: UNSW

2013 DT Fan Planner Price:

2013 SC Fan Planner Price:

Kinnear Beatson says: Dane Rampe is another great story for us. He's the utility type. Dane's a little bit older and is approaching about 22 and is a born and bred Sydney boy who grew up playing the game here in Sydney. Then a couple of years ago he moved to Melbourne and played with Williamstown in the VFL to further his football. In 2010 he was a bit stiff missing a rookie spot with the Western Bulldogs but persevered and then at the end of 2011 returned back to Sydney for family reasons and played locally here with the University of NSW. He also played with NSW in the Australian Country Championships where Ric Barham, one of our recruitment consultants, recognised his potential.

Brandon Jack



Position: Mid

Age: 18

Height/Weight: 182cm / 77kg

Club: Pennant Hills

2013 DT Fan Planner Price: na

2013 SC Fan Planner Price: na

Kinnear Beatson says: Brandon's form for NSW and the Academy has gone from OK to solid, but what he does have is some genuine leg speed. While we've got Brandon in our backyard and he's got lots to learn, we thought it was a good opportunity to promote him onto our rookie list and secure him and then develop the leg speed that he's got.

Sam Naismith



Position: Ruck

Age: 20

Height/Weight: 203cm / 104kg

Club: Pennant Hills

2013 DT Fan Planner Price:

2013 SC Fan Planner Price:

Kinnear Beatson says: Sammy Naismith was a big 200cm-plus ruckman in our backyard who our Academy staff were able to identify. Sam is just a great story I think, with Chris Smith and his staff at the academy identifying him from the local league and he's come in to bolster our ruck stocks.
