He's a 198cm imposing lad who plays as a genuine power forward and can pinch hit in the ruck. He plays with physicality and reminds me a little of Tom Hawkins from the bits of vision I've seen of him.

 

This is amazing !! Thanks for the info, is there anywhere we can view a list of upcoming academy listed prospects?

Everyone has an academy, clubs don't put time and effort into it.  Just money that they have to.

Get rid of the Zones, still have the academy's, all clubs put the same $$ and staff into them and all players are free game.

Should purely be about getting these kids into the AFL and nothing else.

Completely disagree.

Aside from the obvious frustration about Mac, I gotta say it’s really good to hear from those seeing the tangible benefits of these talent pathways.

Its obviously a difficult story to tell from the clubs perspective, as they are trying to give the public the information they want about AFL players and plans. So when you don’t hear almost anything about them it’s hard to know if the plan is working as intended. It’s nice to hear it is.

The AFL should never have changed the rules in the first place. They should be doing everything they can to encourage these pathways.

Increasing access to NGA picks in combination with the proposed reduction to 'points' for picks after the 2nd or 3rd round is a sensible change. It forces clubs to give up real currency to acquire these picks while still getting a sensible discount and priority preference.

To be fair, if we had of been allowed to match Mac we would've missed out on a young kid with the initials JVR. So worked out ok in my books.

The 2024 NGA list hasn't been released as of yet.
