...
Also completely agree with Father sons not being eligible for Academies.
...

As long as the player has a choice which one he'd like to be in.

It's not really an issue unless there are two different clubs that potentially have the rights - one because of f/s and the other because of NGA. So that clubs don't waste too much of their development resources on a kid who elects to go into the other program he's eligible for, he might have to make his decision by say age 14 or 15.

That’s the point. A father-son shouldn’t be eligible for an academy - ever.
The purpose of academies is for those at risk of being lost to other sports. If your dad played 100 games of afl, you ain’t likely to be playing another sport, and if you are, an academy isn’t going to make a difference if your family didn’t

Something Dogs do is have their father sons in their overall Academy

Just meaning they will train with the NGA players to match up age in training

I so desperately hope this isn't a typo so we can add Riely to Riley, Rhylee, Ryley, and Rylie

No, I think you're right - it's spelt Reily on the Sandringham Dragons website.

A different spelling again. **** me.

EDIT: It IS Riely on the Dragons site...

AFL Clubs provided some feedback on major issues to be fixed
A lot of it is covering the NGA

Overall clubs:
-The Crows are also challenging the academy systems, though they do not want academies to stretch as far as South Australia, as that would mean an unwelcome return to zones.
-
Brisbane would like to keep the points system for academy players the same, but is open to adjustments to the next generation academies.

-Blues are keen to have a next generation academy zone, which they initially declined when they were introduced. The city of Bendigo is firmly on the wishlist.

-the Pies are strong on the need to set a fair market price for academy, NGA and father-son players. They believe clubs still need to be encouraged to invest in NGA talent.


Dogs:
The Dogs are also strong on list management issues and, like Collingwood, are keen for the AFL to bed down a longer term strategy on academies, mid-season trading, concessions for Tasmania and list sizes.

I am glad that we're on the same page with Collingwood on this. Not much point developing a top tier kid and missing out on him because he gets taken after an arbitrary point in the draft. Norf are also right in that a F/S shouldn't be eligible to be taken as a NGA pick.

Time to remove Kobe Williams from the list

From my understanding we will plan to match a bid for Craig Cooper-Peters if he picked in the national draft

Saad El-Hawli will either be a Cat B player or Footscray player

A long congrats to a former NGA Academy Player Saad El-Hawli for being taken by Bombers in the MSD

I sort of hope he succeeds but please, anywhere but Essendon.

 

[Hoges64]

Speaking of NGA and Essendon, how is Lual doing there?

He's doing alright in the VFL
Currently avg 15 and 5 per game
Will def take two pre season for him to fill into that AFL winger role

Couple of the under 15s NGA players are part of the Metro Junior Development this weekend

I'll do some digging on Monday for those that played

I was able to watch a bit of Riely Collins play

I reckon he has the goods to be in AFL but his height will be his downfall

Really clean with the footy and attacks the contest, similar way Caleb Daniel plays

Hopefully we can bring one or two of the ones that don't get drafted into the Footscray fold.

176cm isn’t that short, is it?

He will get drafted later due to his height, so would be worth developing.

If hes quick enough
He can make it, i see AFL going back towards having shorter players

Esp with how umpiring ruling high and in the back frees

could get a good free kick merchant

Clubs are bracing for changes to the FS and NGA bidding system THIS year. Some believe the AFL will eradicate point values for picks over 40 as the starting point. Suns might have four academy picks next year including the No.1 selection

I thought he has been pretty good this year.

NextGen Unite had their first AFL Draft Combine with Rookie Me on the weekend

NextGen Unite is a South Sudanese Community group that will partake in the AFL Community Cup series later this year

The draft combine was aged between 13-23 years old

Bulldogs, Geelong and Essendon have a larger number of South Sudanese NGA participants so be interesting to see how NextGen Unite can co-exist with the current NGA system

Aiden O'Driscoll will be joining the Academy as a coach
