Walks still bleeds navy blue,Cody Walker even more so!Where is he tied to with NGA?
Also surely he'd go F/S? I thought Walks loved Carlton throughout and post career too?

Pretty confident he loves Carlton.Where is he tied to with NGA?

back of the queue......Walker at the Tigers? I will hurt someone
It is ludicrous that the child of a prominent past player can in anyway be linked to an NGA pathway. Next Zach Tuohy will return to Ireland and his kid will be a Cat B rather than a father/son.Pretty confident he loves Carlton.
But he’s NGA zoned to Richmond.
He did a few sessions there with their academy last year and really impressed. So I’m sure they will be in his ear as much as possible.

He'll have the choice, but it also means he goes into the open draft until pick 41 is active, i.e. Richmond almost certainly won't get him at a discount.It is ludicrous that the child of a prominent past player can in anyway be linked to an NGA pathway.

…I don’t think I can hold on.
He’s a cricketer anyway isn’t he?
What incentive does he have to play at Richmond? It becomes Richmond vs Carlton right? Assuming he is good enough to be drafted.Walker at the Tigers? I will hurt someone
Surely father son gets priority over NGA. How is he even NGA with an afl playing father.Pretty confident he loves Carlton.

The intent of the rule is to reflect disadvantaged environments/cultures, which still can be the case despite his dad's career. Better the blanket rule making him eligible than the other way around, and the AFL is in no position to do means testing for eligibility.Surely father son gets priority over NGA. How is he even NGA with an afl playing father.
Like Nick Blakey it is his choice where he wants to go. Blakey could have gone f/s to North or Brisbane, or to Sydney through their academy. The club needs to bring him into the club as often as possible to make that choice as easy as possible for him. Don't give Richmond a sniff.Surely father son gets priority over NGA.

That's called a Category B rookie.To be eligible you need to be from a multicultural or indigenous background without having access to afl pathways. Definitely doesn’t meet that criteria imho.
It increases visibility for these potential athletes, and it allows them to work with a club to accelerate their progress prior to the draft.Still makes zero sense as to
Why he’s a next generation academy at essendon without being NEXT GENERATION. Who on his family makes him part of this. He’s also not the player intended on drawing to the game from a non football community or ethnicity. He’s already there.
I saw 1AW at a Carlton game earlier this year at the G, so hopefully he was there with the kids.Pretty confident he loves Carlton.

I understand all that but it still doesn’t shed light on why Walker is NGA.That's called a Category B rookie.
It increases visibility for these potential athletes, and it allows them to work with a club to accelerate their progress prior to the draft.
It connects the club to new parts of its communities, giving both parties incentive.
All I'm trying to say is it's his choice, let's give him every reason to choose Carlton.Different situation:
1. He'd lived in Sydney for over a decade at that point
2. It was a guaranteed process at that time
3. His dad was on the books at Sydney until 2020
Walker situation is nothing like that.
It's the Judd situation we want to be keeping an eye on leading into 2029, primarily by not still being a ******* basket case then.
He is indigenousI understand all that but it still doesn’t shed light on why Walker is NGA.
The boys are both likely to get drafted next year in my opinion. Lucas more silky and Ben extremely contested and plays tough either inside the contest in the middle or across half back. Ben needs to improve his disposal a little but can certainly win it and has good speed/endurance mix. Lucas has always had heaps of class but the contest side of his game was always a question. Looks to have a grown into his body a bit this year and is now capable of winning his fair share of 1 on 1s in the contest. They will unquestionably go past some of their more highly credentialed team SA bottom age team mates in the next 12 months.
If Tuohy went back to Ireland, his kid would be a Cat B rookie by virtue of being unregistered for football in the 3 years prior. I believe it would also make it open season for anyone to recruit him.It is ludicrous that the child of a prominent past player can in anyway be linked to an NGA pathway. Next Zach Tuohy will return to Ireland and his kid will be a Cat B rather than a father/son.
