List Mgmt. Next Generation Academy

After listening to Dal I must be honest, whilst he spoke glowingly about many things he came off a bit nonplussed regarding Buku. It came across to me he wasn't convinced the time spent getting this all done is worth it. Maybe it was just me. Maybe he was generally referring to the Academy set up not the player.

The player I would guess. Seen him play a few times for Jets and VM under 16's. Shows promise but has a fair way to go.

Ok. I guess these types of things are speculative, and Dal is a bit of a footballing purist, so maybe he just sees it as a bonus if something comes from it rather than expecting something.

You are right, no guarantees, young players develop at different rates. For example Bont and Macrae at 16 would probably not have got an invite to an academy and look at them now.

Maybe he is a bit bemused by the fact that Carlton, Hawthorn and Richmond have 9, 12 & 13 players eligible whilst other teams have none.
I guess it was always going to be a bit of a wait and see with these zones, but the early discrepancy in those figures is quite alarming.
While I support these academies in principal, they do seem to fly in the face of equalisation and will take some serious monitoring; especially in the formative years.

My read on that is that those teams have looked into it earlier and signed up their available players more quickly. Other teams probably have available players but haven't fully sorted it out yet.

or some clubs just rate the value of it differently.

So are all of them part of our next gen academy?

From what I understand, they are not all in the academy but the Dogs' academy GM will be at the games keeping an eye on things. From the two games, the squad will be narrowed down to 50 for the V/Line Cup in September. No idea on the names of other players from the Goldfields, South West or Hampden leagues though but I do know Sam Chatfield from the Wimmera Mallee team is already part of the academy, as I have done a couple of stories on him in the past. Definitely one to keep an eye on, as he played in the diversity champs Vic team and is only 15.

So, can confirm they are all part of the level one academy, but only a handful are part of them are part of the futures program of the academy (That is the part of the academy we get draft concessions for etc). A few standouts here in the first game between Wimmera Mallee and Goldfields, most of which are from the Goldfields team. Another two games happening next Wednesday as well with the Hampden League also involved.

Ryan Hargreaves! What’s the chances we draft him and everyone will refer to him as Hargrave?!
And Bol Wol! Another great name.
And Bailey Young would suit our list too - Bailey Dale, Lewis Young... and Bailey Young!
 
CaptainMurphy any chance you wanna do the father/son stuff as well? BRG93 is not on bigfooty any more and the OP should be updated. There's some academy stuff that does get thrown into the father/son thread anyway, so I thought it would just be better to merge everything into the one thread. What do you reckon?

Hey sorry I've been super busy recently. Not sure how well I'd do at running both. Happy for them to merge though, has anyone got the reins of the F/S thread currently?
