it sounds like there's significant changes afoot according to the latest pre-press release background briefing article on pravda: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1292275/the-nga-zones-your-club-wants-access-to

where we stand:

As well as retaining its Alice Springs NGA zone, from which the club had its access to Ricky Mentha jnr as a rookie at last year's draft, the Demons are looking to have complete access to the Dandenong region. Currently Melbourne is sharing some of that area with St Kilda's Next Generation Academy. As the AFL also takes in feedback on the criteria elements of the NGA process, the Demons were strong on player eligibility getting back to the core function of the NGA, which is bringing prospects to the game who otherwise were not in football programs. The Dees supported needing proof of attracting the prospects to the game as part of a club's draft access down the track.

    100% agree with this and glad we are pushing it.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02
