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.

    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.

    Some good picks for academy Lions, Swans, and Giants 

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
