So who is this Woods guy? Any info on him?

No idea.

Very poor journalism from the AFL to not include his junior club of origin at least. Just looks like some joe blow from the streets.

    No, he's only 11. Long way to go yet, he's only just had his first taste of the Freo NGA this year, a 4 session clinic run over 4 weeks by Tendai Mzungu. There were a heap of kids there including those with a parent born in the UK, not sure how multicultural it is really.

    My son is going to have to develop into one of these gun small forwards we're crying out for on Demonland, because I'm 177 cm and his mum is about 150 cm!

    What club does your boy play for Leucopogon?

    How long do you need to live in the zone for an NGA spot? Can you move just before draft time?

    I'm not aware of any regulations around that. I think it's a case of you go to the AFL NGA zone that your junior footy club is aligned to. I don't think there are any rules around having to play for your local club. It seems that there could be plenty of wiggle room for AFL clubs to game the system. Would be happy to be told this is not the case however, this is the AFL we're talking about.

    Agreed.  A name like Anzac really takes the biscuit.

    If his surname was ‘Day’ then you’d expect him to get a game on 25 April?

    Yeah... and his name isn’t Mick Jagger, is it?

    Those concerned about the lack of numbers on our NGA list should be aware that the list reflects players eligible this year and the fact that there are a number eligible doesn’t mean much if those players lack the talent to get drafted. There would be a number on those lists who struggle to get games with their Under 18 NAB Cup teams.

     I believe there will be a couple of prospects available to us in next year’s crop.

    Valid points. We’re still not pouring enough resources into this though.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
