Request for top draft hopeful to join Sydney academy​

Former Port Adelaide and North Melbourne player Stuart Cochrane has requested that the AFL permits his sons – one of whom is viewed as a potential pick No.1 in future – be allowed to participate in Sydney’s academy program as he explores what he believes is New South Welshman heritage.

Cochrane has written to AFL football boss Laura Kane requesting that his three sons – Tom, Doug and James – be given access to Sydney’s academy.

In the letter, Cochrane requested that on the basis that he was “exploring New South Welshman heritage” his sons would be allowed to participate in the Sydney program. He told the AFL he believed he had New South Welshman heritage on his maternal side stating that his mother once visited the Sydney Opera House and Darling Harbour and may even have caught a ferry to Manly.

For the boys, including the highly talented, 194-centimetre Doug, to be tied to Sydney in the draft on a bidding system the AFL would need to follow the Nick Blakey rule where they gift the Swans talent that they don't deserve.

What a crock

Request for top draft hopeful to join Port academy​

Former Port Adelaide and North Melbourne player Stuart Cochrane has requested that the AFL permits his sons – one of whom is viewed as a potential pick No.1 in future – be allowed to participate in Port’s academy program as he explores what he believes is Indigenous heritage.

Cochrane has written to AFL football boss Laura Kane requesting that his three sons – Tom, Doug and James – be given access to Port’s next generation academy.

In the letter, Cochrane requested that on the basis that he was “exploring [his Indigenous heritage]” his sons would be allowed to participate in the Port NGA program. He told the AFL he believed he had Indigenous heritage on his maternal side from NSW and Victoria around the Riverina region.
Cochrane, who played 54 games for Port after 50 at North Melbourne and worked at the Power as development coach, has not requested that his sons be tied to Port Adelaide in the draft as other players, such as Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, have been.
He has merely asked that they have the opportunity to train and be coached in the academy for multicultural and Indigenous boys and girls.
For the boys, including the highly talented, 194-centimetre Doug, to be tied to Port in the draft on a bidding system the AFL would need to change the zones for NGA players in South Australia to encompass metropolitan areas. The zones are under review. It would be a boon for Port if the AFL expanded the zones to include in the position of the Cochrane sons, who are not eligible as father-sons at North Melbourne or Port Adelaide.
In the past, players have been ruled eligible after making the kind of application that Cochrane has made.


Tom, 18, is eligible for this year’s draft is viewed as potentially draft-worthy but not a high-end pick. Second son Doug, 16, is an outstanding prospect who won the competition medal for best player in the national championships for under-16s.

The AFL has brought this on themselves.

Will watch with interest the mental gymnastics.

So, a kid who is already 16, out of zone, and touted as a potential number one pick could join an academy where they then get first access due to their development? Actually is pretty consistent with every NGA recruit so far.

It will get ticked off no problems by the AFL

I have no problem with it so long as Port doesn't get priority access. They benefit through having one of the best kids in the country train with the other academy members. That won't happen though.

How’s did McCartneys sons finish off the season.

We need some father son gold of the KPP variety

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

It seems like there a simple and elegant fix:

Remove an underperforming member of staff (Rawlings) with someone with a much better track-record (McCartney).

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

I honestly don't mind the Swans academy.

The reason being ... I coached juniors in Northern NSW and probably coached 10 kids who could have played Coates level over about 2 years. None of them played AFL altho at least one should have been a shoe in and he was on the radar of a whole bunch of clubs and another tried out at the Swans for a year as a young indigenous kid competing with Lewis Jetta for a spot.

He had cousins who would have been guns as well but they ended up playing League, one at the Titans for a while before representing Australia in Rugby Sevens (Shannon Walker). No one at North wanted to know about Shannon (we were involved with the GC too at the time, stupid...) and while I was in Melbourne no one at a bunch of other clubs wanted to know about him either. He'd rip games apart on a Saturday and do the same playing League on a Sunday.

His older brother was as good and did his knee playing League for Kyogle but never recovered properly.

Gulden is like those kids. Very talented but wouldn't be playing the game without the Swans academy. Mills and Heeney would be playing some form of sniff bum as well.

I agree Blakey and Jase's kids are different in that they'd always be exposed to the game but until the AFL and AFL NSW get off their useless arses and provide proper pathways for kids across NSW then those academy's are the only pathway those kids have. Its no better than it was 20 years ago otherwise.

So while the AFL is ****en incapable of doing its job properly the Sydney and GWS academies are the only things providing proper access to AFL for NSW kids. (Altho kids on the Far North Coast/Northern Rivers are able to play on the Gold Coast and access its academy.)

Let the AFL establish a proper AIS-like system in each state.

At which point he'll say oh no I want my boys to forge their own path away from me.

Also lol at Jason being better performing ... how many flags do GWS have despite endless picks and a top end senior core?

 

[The Warlord]

This bad blood is great for us imo, no way Jase will want the boy going to this lot.

That would be ideal but I question their ability to do it and commitment.

They are probably also trying to tie the academy's to teams to drive supporter engagement from kids. IE if you try out at the Swans academy you might stay a Swans supporter instead of drifting back to League.

The other justification for the northern academies is to provide those clubs with quality talent that can't be tempted to "come home" to Victoria if they are already playing in their home state. As long as Richmond, Collingwood, and Geelong continue to be predatory towards first round draft picks that go to the northern states, there will be this justification to give those clubs opportunities that other clubs don't get.

Wayne Carey set to be a dad again​

The 53-year-old footy legend has revealed his baby news and says he and his partner are “incredibly ecstatic”.

I can just see this place blowing up when the Swans or Suns put Wayne on the payroll.....probably coincides with Carter's Auskick debut.

Interesting to think about whether our greater ever player would want his son playing with us. Default logic says yes, but given the circumstances of his departure, I can see him wanting his son to play at a club where there is less of that baggage to carry every day.

TLDR - prepare yourself for the inevitable let down in 18 years!

I know this one.

If he's not much chop - he'll end up at Arden Street.

If he is - at the last gasp after years on Father-Son clinics he'll flip us the bird and join the swans.

In the real world yes but your got to remember like McDonald he Rawlings is protected by mates at the club.
The only way things will change is when we have someone within the walls of the NMFC come out and say enough is enough this club going nowhere.
Then whoever that person is they will go down as a hero of this club.

If only we had someone with goddam big hairy balls to sack an underperforming coach midseason, then go out and get the best coach on the market - the best coach of the last 20 years at that!! - taking on and beating competition from Big Clubs like Essendon in the process.

When will this hero rise?

If the AFL ran AIS like academies in the Northern Sates that wouldn't be an issue tho. Those kids wouldn't necessarily want to come "home" to Victoria. In fact it would be more likely they'd go back up North after a few cold winters in Melbourne.

Yes it literally is. He wants his kids in the Poort Adelademy.

That's a solid touche right there.
