None on the list on this link but we do have one prospect Deakyn Smith who is on next year’s Next Generation Academy who isn’t playing today. 

Ah yes, that was the player I was looking for but couldn't remember his name. Thanks for that.

Do you know if any research has ever been done looking into what players we may have had available to us from our zones in the 5 or so years prior to their introduction?

    Not that I’m aware of but I do know that all AFL clubs spend a lot of time with their own local development areas.

    A comprehensive win to the Jonathon Brown team over the Nick dal Santo side.

    The game highlights the talent of the northern states academies which are all a fair bit stronger than the NGA. There are some good kids coming up from the academies in the near future, especially for GWS.

    Thank heavens for that!

    No Stingrays on that list.  Not hearing good stories about the development of their players.

    Aren't the Stringrays part of our zone now too? That'd be right.

    Competition more unbalanced than ever

    Agree. We need to abolish academies all together.

    Swans chose to move up to Sydney, AFL & GWS chose to have a team based their too, all the picks in the world don't seem to be helping GC & the Lions weren't complaining back in the early 2000's when they were dominating.

    We need to sink some time, effort and money into our own NGA.  If the club did it right we'd have a steady stream of talent coming in.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
