Kid in the previous year wins a b and f, league medal, captains a winning gf team, within 5 games at your club quits footy all together. Been playing since he was 4. Your club isnt what you think it is.
Stop sucking up ffs.
The first problem is in identifying players, south go watch morningside, north watch aspley and sc watch Maroochydore. It's just plain laziness.
The next problem is the club dont always take the academies suggestions. So in the women Starcevich is the coach, talent scout...
Christine Watson didnt play any lead up games this year, not Nth/sth/sc academy games and didnt play against the suns. She went straight into the Qld side on one of the Lions limited places. So someone rates her highly.
She is 179, good athlete, but very raw, you can tell she hasnt played a...
Pullar hasnt played a lot of AFL she came from soccer I think. Monaghan was very good, but she is really a 2nd kpd too.
Lutkins isnt super tall but she reads the ball coming in and she is a mature body.
The two backs out of the academy in Qld side are both 175ish cm Browne and Hillier. But they are still kids, Hillier showed some good body strength against Allies and played for Maroochydore snrs last year. Has some real speed and a neat kick. Browne is similar but maybe a year away imo...
Disagree, played well as taking the biggest fwd last year even though it isn't her go. She is the 2nd kpd. Would be a massive loss to the structure of the backline.
Grider is probably the next biggest but she isnt a lock down defender more the creative ball user. A bit premature for Harmer...
Grider possibly the next captain. It looks like the vast majority will stay. Orla seems pretty right with the extended group, i hope she stays. Always smiling that girl.
The process is this: If the lions are going to take them apparently you get a letter and you can nominate just for Brisbane.
Or you can nominate qld
Or you can nominate another particular state, keeping in mind the port adel coach was the lions level 3 coach
Or you can nominate for...
Unless McFadyean gets cut or moves to Sydney because isnt he engaged to Grider? Local girl, i doubt it.
We had to expect expansion clubs were going to offer $$$. It's a young but experienced side, that has a good environment. That's attractive to expansion clubs.
Because they cant field a team of 18 year olds, they will get slaughtered.
But keep in mind Qld under 18s smashed the best of the Allies (nsw,act,tas,nt) a couple of weeks ago. And beat Vic Country. The 9 or so eligible for the draft from the lions should at least get a look.
I cant believe the number of great artists dropping dead, most of husker du, Mark Lanagan survives being a herion addict and dies of covid, Taylor Hawkins survives being a heroin addict then doesnt
The good: McCluggage a class above took control when things were drifting.
Liked Adams and Answerths games too.
The bad: the fwd line selection next week will be interesting
The ugly: the umpiring both ways was atrocious. The guy, the girl and the one transitioning all need some education...
That's because the qaflw is pretty strong, much stronger than the mens comp.
Also note qld beat vic country and thumped the full allies side (tas/nsw/nt/act).
Nah. They are on 20k a year (not Phillips) so most want to stay in the same city. There isnt a lot of trading. Adelaide have first call on all of their academy players anyway.
