Indigenous academy backlash

The AFL has told clubs that Indigenous communities and elders in Western Australia and South Australia have complained that they have been discriminated against, as the league considers major changes to its academy system.
And clubs believe that the AFL is seriously looking at adopting a proposal – put forward by West Coast, with the backing of Fremantle and the SA clubs – to have the Next Generation Academy’s Indigenous and multicultural players available to all clubs in the first 25 or 30 positions in the national draft in a trade-off for the WA and SA teams gaining access to their entire states.
In a memo sent out to all clubs last week, the AFL said the WA and SA clubs were experiencing ‘‘a significant backlash’’ from Indigenous communities who felt their youngsters were excluded from the (NGA) academy set-up, which only allocates certain largely remote territories to recruit Indigenous players for their academies and leaves other territories alone.
West Coast, which has been the strongest voice in pushing for the Perth and Adelaide teams to share access to all Indigenous players in their states, said the club would not be able to ‘‘hide players’’ if their proposal was approved, because the elite talent at the top end of the draft would be up for grabs for all clubs.
The AFL memo also contained a ‘‘policy discussion’’ by the league back in February, saying that tribal elders of communities that were not allocated to either the Eagles, Dockers, Crows or Port, had complained of discrimination.
The AFL document said: ‘‘Indigenous elders from certain communities have identified the current policy discriminates against their own people.’’ It added that ‘‘retention rates of Indigenous participation are drastically dropping right across the country – this cannot be ignored.’’

Doesn't answer the question of which (if any) players are eligible for the 2018 draft.

The only one of interest for this year is Mihail Lochowiak.

If you're that interested it's not that hard to go to the SANFL site and check the U16 and U18 team lists/selections. Several of the lads played for SA v WA in the U16's Championship game on the weekend.

The article does state that this is the 2nd intake, and most of the kids are being signed are 14 or 15. I assumed therefore that most of the first intake are now 15 or 16, and still a year or two away from being drafted.

Indigenous academy backlash

Dont like this. Would mean we dont get Sladojevic or Borlase.

Neither of these are part of the Indigenous Academy.

Yes, but it would decrease distortion because no club would get elite talent for cheap from these academies. (e.g. Tarryn Thomas).

Seems like it would reduce incentive to invest in these academies though.

It says multicultural as well.

Victorian clubs are can grab from NT yet we can't use our whole State?.... how many times do Sydney get a top 5 pick because of an academy... that top 20 thing is bullshit unless it counts for everyone's academy.

 

[1990crow]

Indigenous?

It says anyone in the academy.

It would count for everyone's Next Generation Academy, says nothing about the regular NSW/QLD academies.

Oh shit SA and WA teams might get an advantage from their academies in two years time.. better change the rules. If you dont have priority access to these players clubs wont put as much effort in.

Which is why this is a joke. You cant let NSW and qld teams have this massive advantage.

Can't see how that would offend any indigenous elders etc if the kids not indigenous, think you're jumping at shadows, I's be more worried about other AFL clubs if they think SA or WA are advantaged.

Looks good in Crows colours too...

Thats just what Im reading. Afl sent out a memo saying academy player indigenous or not will be open to all clubs in the first 30 picks. We need clarification on the expected guns we already have in Borlase and Sladojevic.

They didn't. This is a proposal in response to the issue of indigenous groups feeling discrimination.

The proposal was put forward by West Coast and supported by the SA clubs and Freo.

Nice leap by the looks and big hands.

The 20% discount and 1st dibs will still apply, no different to North Melbourne and Tarryn Thomas this year?

Correct its in response. But in response theyve said indigenous OR multicultural.
