List Mgmt. Next Generation Academy Discussion

[Only Forwards]

No Generation Academy*

Far too accurate.

Just curious how many kids you lot think would qualify for our academy. Not very many is the answer.

GC have 900 kids. Smithy, Davo, Knackers, Barry & Bruce Bourke. Etc .

In Tassie Them blardy English stockpiled the joint with the Irish. They of course don't qualify under the rules we work by. GC it doesn't matter.
After doing what they did to the locals he didn't leave much now did it. Not making light of the massacre as it of course is disgusting.

So yeah we never thought highly of the Tassie academy, our interest was always just TT and is why we started it.
I was told that very recently.

With the current rules our investment isn't worth it.

The overall talent pathways into the AFL are a joke.

Some clubshave some rules (northern states)
Some kids have some rules based on genetics (f/s)
Some kids have some rules based on geography and ethnicity (NGA)
Some clubs around bound by a pick exclusion period within the draft (NGA)

How any of that is supposed to land on equal is ridiculous.

Last year we were lambasted for asking for assistance from the AFL. Not only did we get less than they Gold Coast did after a similar period, they were also able to take a kid who should have been in pick 1 conversations if he was available to the pool.

Honestly if we had Jed Walter on the list instead of Duursma we’d look a lot more balanced. It would address a hole. This isn’t a slight on Duursma BTW.

I don't know tbh. But I assume it's easier getting into a car and travelling to say a Werribee. Than it is using same vehicle and then a plane and then accommodation etc.

Helps when Carlton can blow $500k on a scouting trip to Ireland and we'd be luck to pay scouts in Tas a couple of jars after the game.

Well I feel for the Swan who have only been in Sydney 40 years. I think they lost rights to the Riverina which of course is chockers full of them immigrants. Them folk had never seen a footy on the Murray until those pesky Swans turned up.

It's a complete farce amd I'm at the stage that once the Tiger from Tassie enters the comp I may well lose the last bit of interest I have.
It's hardly enjoyable now tbh. And that isn't just because we can't win.

Oh well

Surprised he could speak properly while the AFL was gobbing him and his club.

Was it that bozo on the AFL website? Even Damo called that out.

Yeah have a look an overweight kid amd a ruddy Ginger.

I like it though expert coaching in skills, fitness and leadership. We should send out entire squad there for 8 weeks.

I actually think it's really good that Peter Wright gives back to grass roots like that.

I guess you can’t really say only Indigenous kids or kids with at least one parent born overseas should bother turning up.

We just slowly weed out the fatties and rangas.

The guys I know in the Devils coaching “program” say we’re having input, but it’s minimal for various reasons.…

I’ve asked about NGA numerous times, with no clarity forthcoming. When I’ve asked why, the answer I get is always “ask AFL Tas”, in other words “shite show”.

I have a theory about what happened.

In 2019, Tasmania was admitted as a full-time team to the now Coates Talent League and were no longer deemed an academy side. This is probably when they stripped back their involvement and COVID all but killed the academy.

AFL Tasmania are big about independence and wanting to push their own brand. It’s a political space to say the least only made more so by the AFL team bid. I

The involvement from North is minimal. Source for this is a mate who’s currently playing.
