Collingwood’s Next Generation Academy could soon produce its first drafted players, with a number of prospects on the Magpies’ radar.

Isaac Quaynor and Atu Bosenavualagi are both members of the Oakleigh Chargers U18 side, and are eligible to be selected by Collingwood due to their multicultural backgrounds.

Quaynor, of Ghanaian heritage, trained with the Magpies in December and has since played six games for Oakleigh and three for Vic Metro in 2018.

He has drawn high praise from those who have watched along the way.

“I think Isaac is really competitive, he could probably play in Collingwood’s side on the weekend,” Vic Metro coach Marty Allison told Toby Prime of the Monash Leader on July 11.

“He’s got a really good physique on him, he’s fit enough, he’s strong enough, and he’s competitive enough.

“I think Collingwood are going to be really happy about the player they are going to get, he’s going to be ready to play.”

Meanwhile, Bosenavualagi was born in Fiji and is currently juggling football with a promising rugby career.

The small forward stands at 179cm and 79kgs, and has represented his state in the national Rugby 7s U19 championships.

"With the rugby background you can see that his tackling is probably one of his real strengths, but his clean hands is the other thing that stands out,” Oakleigh Chargers talent manager Craig Notman told Callum Twomey of AFL Media.

"If you fumble in rugby the game's over for you, so he's really exceptional with his hands and he has a really uncanny ability for the ball to stick in his hands."

While the Magpies’ recruiting team will continue to search the country for the next top prospect, they have another potential player under their nose.

Will Kelly, son of 1990 premiership player Craig, is a defender currently expected to draw a father-son bid in the top 30 picks in November’s National Draft.
