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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
