Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion

[HereComesJuddy]

Cody must of had 10 plus inside 50s and really could have kicked 6 or 7.

A lot more work to be done but he definitely looks a top 5 pick.

Let’s hope he really works on his kicking and decision making along with his awareness. Could be a gun really early in his career.

Go well young man

 

[Opium]

What sort of player is Cody?

Does he have his old man’s tank?

Kid has star factor. Composed, good user and a huge kick already with agility and speed.

F me, Cody looks like he could play AFL next week


Joking of course




Half joking

 

[jj1978]

It's a non issue. We'll still have first dibs for him but will have to pay more. If he is living up to the hype then it will be worth whatever we have to pay, especially coming into several years of compromised drafts. Having access to an elite talent like this when we'll be nowhere near the elite end of the draft is like striking gold - just like Colliwobbles and Daicos.

Yes, they paid less but drafting a generational talent when you shouldn't be drafting there is immense - and will be worth even more then Tasmania come into play.

If he's worth pick 1 then bloody hell that's a good thing, not a bad one.

(may be getting ahead of myself calling him generational/elite etc. but you get the point)

Good point with us getting a waft of F&S coming through as Tassie approaches. Hopefully we're really upping the training and work with our kids academy over the next 3-4 years.

A future Rising Star winner, Brownlow medalist, Premiership player, Premiership captain for his fourth flag, Hall of Famer and then eventually he will obtain legend status.

So yeah, he will be a handy player.

But will he wear a hat?!?

 

[RPCB]

But will he wear a hat?!?

Of course. We can’t draft Cody without seeing how he wears a hat first.

Doesn’t wear it as cool as the old man. Delist from the F/S board.

Anyone know where I can find the stats for the Cody walker game for all players?

Think it's normally recorded by CD from memory. They may have it under lock and key, my friend works for them and often does the state level juniors games and they aren't normally released in full to the public.

Mid-forward.
Good size, pretty athletic.
It'll be good to monitor his progress - there's quite a bit of enthusiasm about his potential from within the VC setup.

Pretty sure Cody was involved in the tigers dreamtime pre match entertainment on the ground

There's no chance we have anything to worry about regarding Cody's NGA status. He has been to training sessions at Ikon park numerous times and the club has invested in him and he has reciprocated. That isn't even mentioning the NGA ties don't mean anything if your picked in the top 40

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

I’m not worried at all, just hadn’t heard about it before til i seen it through what was posted by WITG…

 

[Coops93]

Shows what a joke the NGA is. Supposedly to attract athletes from non footy backgrounds and bring them to the game, in reality father-sons are in the system. We have an AFL players brother in ours.

Tyson Gresham.

I thought his brother was playing for us on Sunday night.

Not sure what the issue is. This is straight from afl.com.au

A key objective of the NGA's is to increase the talent pool of Indigenous and Multicultural players.

Walker is Indigenous, so is Gresham, why wouldn’t they be eligible?

From the AFLs NGA website:

Next Generation Academies - Play AFL

play.afl

"The program is targeted at Multicultural and Indigenous communities who may not have as much opportunity to be involved in football programs, or who have limited understanding of the game and how it is played."

It's targeted for communities with non-football backgrounds. However, it is open for anyone, as that's why these players slip in, but that's not what the program was/is for. Hence why I said it's a bit of a joke

Don't think you need to look far to see a Ben Campo comparison - to me he's very George Hewett

-esque.

Good in traffic, gets from contest to contest, great vision and hands, tidy kick in space but not elite, solid defensively.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

My favourite highlight was late in the 3rd quarter, young Walks burst clear of the centre with the ball firmly clamped in his left hand.

Reminded me of prime Kouta.
