That is so unfair for those kids.

Another stuff up by the AFL

Yep, their justification was that kids from a Multi-cultural or indigenous background didn't have the same opportunity to play the game and develop.  Load of political hog wash, it kept the southern clubs happy as they got something and the AFL didn't want to go back to the full on Zones the once had.

     The sooner gil the dill gets the a@*# the better , they have taken the game away from the people.

    Just feel for a young kid wanting to play the game he loves and he can't because the AFL are a bunch of #*&%$.

    Gill and Eddies AFL is not the place

    Interstate teams (academy) and mega powers (free agency) get the sweet deals 

    and the draw ... wow that’s biased in so many ways

    Have seen him play a couple of times and while I think he’s more of a long term prospect rather than instant impact he clearly has talent. He never gives up on chase and pressure

    Don't know anything about him, but if he is quick, a goal sneak, or play maker and who applies forward pressure, he is the type we can use.

    Everything I read in that report was exactly the player we need.

    Get him into our system and watch him flourish into a forward pressure gun!

    I watched the last few minutes of the 2nd quarter and the 2nd half.

    Seemed to rotate between the midfield - where he was involved in play -  and full forward - where the ball largely avoided him but he'd go in chasing runs.

    Had a nice clearance in the 2nd quarter. In the 2nd half he had a lovely crumb about 40m out but missed the goal.

    Went on some big blistering chases to get from a long way to the contest. Nailed a big tackle which gave away a free but was worth it. Was involved with a few link up handballs. Skirted the packs a bit and I thought there were chances for him to jump in a get the ball. 

    I'd say he looks like a draft prospect because he can get the ball in a pack and he loves to chase and tackle, but I'd also be concerned he's pretty limited in his involvement otherwise.

    excited to see him in the red and blue.. sounds like exactly what we need.

    I watched a small amount and what I saw was encouraging. I like Spargos hustle but we need a true crumbing forward and Spargo doesn’t front and centre well and his goal kicking is very average to poor.

  • Quote

    so if we nominate him with our second round pick which is around pick 35 another club has to use their first round pick to take him from us?

    Am I correct

    At 173cm he is the same size as Spargo... can you carry two smalls in a modern AFL side?

    Interesting

    No we don't need to nominate him.  A club can select him in the draft and we have the option to select them.  Example say a club picks him at pick 35, each pick has an allocated point value we need to give up our next pick and make up any left over points from other picks.

    We hope that no club picks him till after our second pick in the draft and he cost us a couple of late picks

    Academy club also gets 20% discount on the points of the pick the other club initially selects the player with so only has to give later picks worth 80% of the points.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
