Can someone explain to me how a kid can move from Brisbane three years ago, play for the Sandy dragons, and stay part of the Lions academy? Wtf
Amazing isn't it, the northern states claim they put so much work into their academy players.

By sending them to Vic to learn!

Because the AFL haven't read Brisbane's own explanation why the Academy exists

Why does the Academy exist?
On the surface the Academy exists solely to provide draftable athletes to the AFL/W programs, however it is much more than that. As well as providing draftable talent, we also exist to keep the best talent in Queensland (by shipping them off to Melbourne to be trained), to develop athletes to better the standard of Community football (and by community we mean Sandringham, just don't ask us where it is) and to provide opportunities for staff and volunteer Professional Development (in Victoria).

I rate Shoey and Hastie as well, but they need to compete to get into the firsts. Hastie is a pick 24, and Shoenmaker is a pick 62. If they make it from there it is a very good outcome.

Garcia. Windy, Pou, Wilson have to compete with Macrae, Steele, Clark, Jones, Dow, Carroll etc.

Also you are totally incorrect, there is no 'massive imbalance' that is a ridiculously hysteric statement. You have see a couple of highlight reels and you have set out all of Travs career. The arrogance of this is astounding. Would put Lyons, Dalrymple and SoS's knowledge over your bleating any day.

Will enjoy linking this thread in a couple of years.
Yep. I get the needs basis. Much of that was destroyed with North’s choice and as usual we slip into the next tier.

But some of this is embarrassing. Get down to training and say it to them, Ross and the leaders.
