HE MAY have emerged as a genuine prospect to be drafted No. 1, but impressive key forward Jack Watts is not letting any hype distract him from his immediate goal – winning this year's NAB AFL under-18 title for Vic Metro.

Watts said taking on NSW/ACT at Casey Fields on Saturday, followed by Western Australia at Telstra Dome on Wednesday, are his focus.

"All I'm thinking about right now is Saturday's game against NSW/ACT and then the WA game, so I haven't about anything else at the moment," Watts told afl.com.au.

"It's been amazing to be involved; I was too young last year, but we went down and watched the games and I was involved with the 16s last year and I got to go to the rooms of the 18s. It just seemed so far away back then and now I'm here and I'm in it and playing well."

The 194cm tall from the Sandringham Dragons said he has relished the camaraderie and friendships made throughout the championships.

"We've travelled the country with our best mates and it's been incredible – a whole lot of fun. We'll all great mates and we love going into lockdown – people say you miss out on your [school] holidays, but it's not like that at all; we're all working together and it helps us play good footy and hopefully that'll happen on the weekend," Watts said.

Key defender Michael Hurley, also one of the brightest talents in the country, said he was pumped for Vic Metro's final two matches.

"I'm really looking forward to playing WA again, after such a disappointing loss last year, and hopefully we can hit them back hard," said Hurley, who represented Vic Metro last year and was rewarded with All-Australian selection.

"We've got to get over NSW/ACT first and they'll be tough, because they're a very competitive side."

Half-back and former elite junior discus thrower Taylor Hunt is also soaking up every minute, since concentrating on the code.

His improvement in recent times has been prominent and something not lost on his Sandringham coach, former Lion and Pie Jarrod Molloy.

"My first game against Tassie, my Sandy coach Jarrod Molloy came down and said I looked scared in the first half, but then I got a fair bit in the second half and it carried through against South Australia and I played pretty well there and took a few bounces," Hunt said.
