List Mgmt. Next Generation Academy Discussion

[Themanbun]

Massimo D’Ambrosio was originally from Point Cook, that must be close to our zone.

It is. Point Cook's in our zone.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

It is. Point Cook's in our zone.

I’d say with his cultural background he would’ve been eligible then.

Usually there are at least half a dozen kids on the western jets list each season that come from Point Cook, Werribee Districts and Hoppers Crossing.

This season they had the following players listed:

Obie Miller (Werribee Districts)
Tom Burton (Point Cook)
Max Downing (Point Cook)
Macauli Buck (Werribee)
Oscar Burt (Werribee)
Rani Pavlidis (Werribee)

The Werribee junior leagues are pretty strong so it wouldn’t surprise me if we got an academy player from there in future years, especially considering the growth in the area.

The thought that we let an AA wingman slip by twice depresses me, lol.

Surely this is a critical issue for nmfc .
If the nt is given to us the afl would need to fund it fully . As it funds gold coast and gws .
We would need to control all junior levels of afl aflw and player development with access to draft those players

Yes but mainly he was going to buy a house in Altona North but he decided to grab one in point cook due to his missus (I'm his cousin).

 

[King Corey]

We seem to be doing very little in this area. The fact we madly scrambled for Sanders are the 11th hour rather than having locked away in our program and making him "ours to lose" said it all.

NGA and Cat B are unused pathways for us.

Bizarrely the AFLW program finds quality new Irish players almost yearly.

 

[Johnny99]

NGA and Cat B are unused pathways for us.

And we have done nothing in the Irish space (women have with oshea bull and martin)

The blokes can't even get local stuff right, let's crawl before they walk on this one.

We will live to regret Sanders for a long time.

How can we regret Sanders? The NGA rules at the time didn't give us the right to match the bid.

If NM took a proactive stance on requesting priority access more than 3 minutes before the draft happened, it would have been passed.

 

[shinboner magic]

This issue is the radio silence from the club with the unfairness for nga allocation.

 

[Shinboner1]

Our NGA died when we didn't get access to sanders

 

[andana]

This is what we need to aspire to. We are miles behind.

100% false. The AFL knocked back this request months before the draft. The club was told this a long time before it was confirmed in the media. The AFL simply didn't want to give us Sanders as our priority pick.

 

[Themanbun]

Holding tryouts in Wyndham soon. Looks like there's finally some more resourcing going into this space.

 

[shinboner magic]

If we’re playing games in wa - does that mean we get nga access over there.
Theres a lot of indigenous guys over there

At the time. The rules have been conveniently flip-flopping depending on who needs an NGA top-up.

If a rule has no consistency, is it still a rule?

Thank f*ck. This club has looked like amateurs for the last ten years.

, emphasised Hamish’s value, “Hamish's background in teaching and his work in game development at AFL Vic and the Werribee Football Club further strengthens our connection with one of our NGA zones. He will be a great asset to our club, supporting the delivery of academy programs in the region through participation and talent identification initiatives."

Know a few people at Werribee who couldn’t speak more highly of him for developing players. Played a big role in the development of players like Mannagh, Riley Bice and others who didn’t come from footy back grounds like Bior Manual.

The western jets summer training squad is out now, plenty of kids in there from our academy region. Wonder if any are eligible?
