Zaydyn Lockwood hasn't been named in the Vic Country squad for the Champs.
He won't be going top 40.
He won't be going top 40.
Bye Bye Colina, hello Lockwood.
Most NGA players aren't but it's a free hit so you might as well take the spot up. The club has nothing to lose here.

Some draft watchers have him going in the 2nd round, so must have decent traits. A small chance that he gets drafted in the 30s, especially as he has not been named for Vic Country.
The perfect result if he slides to the rookie draft and we can get him as a Cat B rookie.
Pretty sure if he gets past the National draft we can sign him directly as a cat A rookie, not a Cat B as he's been playing elite level juniors.
This is what we could've done had cats not selected Esava or Pies Kayle Kirby in the ND previously.

He is in the Richmond NGA, so can be signed as a Cat B rookie like the Dogs signing Buku Khamis as at CatB rookie.
There was no NGA in 2016 with Esava, Kirby, Simpkin all in the open draft.
Yeah you're right about the cat B. We nominated Kirby and Esava and Simpkin.
Tigers nominate Kayle Kirby as a category B rookie
Richmond will have first access to exciting goalkicker Kayle Kirby as part of its next generation academy if the Bendigo Pioneers product does not get selected in November's national or rookie drafts.

Couldn't match a bid on them in the ND, like we can for Zayden Lockwood after pick 40.Yeah you're right about the cat B. We nominated Kirby and Esava and Simpkin.

Highly doubtful he's rated in the 12th round. He couldn't even crack the 33 kids list for Vic Contry squad. Each year there's kids who make the U18 AA team who fail to even get drafted. He's not even selected as a backup in his own team. Short of Louie Meehan dishing out 5 ACL's to the entire Vic Countries KPD stocks he probably won't even get a late callup. A 20% discount is only a bargain if what you're getting is of value. It just further proves the NGA's just a con and waste of club resources.
Earlier in the year club puts out an article how Pala Kuma from our NGA class of 2023 got a ressies contract. Our ressies are decimated and he still can't get a game, they're literally scouring suburban leagues for players rather plan just play him, so it's just throwing money down the drain year after year.
NGA's Pala Kuma earns VFL contract

Was watching because my daughter's boyfriend knows him.
How bloody stiff are we there wouldn’t have been 4 indigenous kids drafted from those parts since , pity for Kirby looked a real talent think he had a serious health issue that forced him to retireYeah you're right about the cat B. We nominated Kirby and Esava and Simpkin.

Not eligible sadly.
We should hide him.
Just quietly he played bloody well , was gippsland power last year with pretty respectable numbers , will be a watch I’d say , good size for a modern mid 190cm , see if he can keep that kinda impact up
Few more games before that ,,,,raised the eyebrow tho
