There are some individual threads for some of our NGA prospects but thought perhaps we could use a centralised thread to track information on future academy players.

For now, it appears academy's will stay although access and cost may change in the future.

1. Marcus Prasad

167cm small forward playing for the stingrays. Has represented Vic Country at u16 levels and u18 this year as a bottom ager. Draft year 2026

2. Corey Ah-Mu

Younger brother of Tairon, Corey is 196cm at 16yrs of age and has played a few games for Dandenong as a bottom ager as well as representing Vic Country in u16s. While his brother is not eligible this year for the dees there is suggestion that Corey will become available to us as the AFL expand the eligibility criteria (TBC). Draft year 2027.

3 & 4. James Goerlitz and Zye Bergles-Brown.

Small bit of research led to these 2 names as part of the dees academy.

Both named in the 2025 Dandenong stingrays u16 team which would probably see them draft eligible in 2027 or 2028. I believe James Goerlitz played representarive footy for Vic Country. I otherwise know nothing else of these players.
