I've ehard it mentioned that there's a kid from the AIS training with Melbourne and I just discovered the answer to the riddle of his identity. According to Who's that kid? our AIS tranee is Tom Lynch.

Here's the list of the AIS trainees at the various clubs -

Adelaide – Alex Carey, Tyson Davis-Neale, Matthew Thompson.

Brisbane – Declan Bevan, Jesse Haberfield.

Carlton – Nic Heyne, Tom Hill.

Collingwood – Jack Fitzpatrick, Jack Ziebell.

Essendon – Steele Sidebottom, Jackson Trengrove.

Fremantle – Clinton Garlett, Michael Walters.

Geelong – John Butcher, Nick Suban.

Hawthorn – Tom Scully, Liam Shiels.

Kangaroos – Michael Hurley.

Melbourne – Tom Lynch.

Port Adelaide – Matthew Broadbent, Lewis Johnston.

Richmond – Sam Blease, Ben Griffiths.

St Kilda – Liam Jones, Jack Watts.

West Coast – Kieran King, Kane Lucas, Anthony Morabito.

Western Bulldogs – Ayce Cordy, Jake Melksham.

Note: No players are training with Sydney as there are no NSW/ACT players in the 30-man Academy. Scholarship holders are assigned to train with an AFL club in their own state.

It's worth noting that Melbourne drafted 4 AIS graduates in last year's national draft including Cale Morton and Jack Grimes who actually trained with us in January '07. I know Michael Hurley who's training with the Roos can play a bit and it's worth noting these names for some time later on in the year.

Does this kid have red hair?? Because i saw a young kid who i couldn't recognise

has he does have red hair

has he does have red hair

Then thats him he didnt particpate in all the training though but was fitting in well making jokes with the boys looks good

He had a knee reco last year which may be why he wasnt training fully.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing we don't have two because of financial restrictions, considering the Kangaroos are the only other clubs with just one. If that is the case, does anyone know what sort of $ clubs need to put up to take on a trainee?
