Oh I get you. It doesn't matter if he's from the SE, if he was born overseas.
It does matter which zone he's from, if he's indigenous.

Obviously good news that Edwards has been named, considering Tyson had said himself directly that they 'wouldn't be going down the Academy route with Luke, the same way that had with Jackson'. Kind of puts that one to bed, right?

Not completely - boths Edwardses & AFC have to submit FS nomination before the next draft and Edwards could in theory not go ahead with it but perhaps it looks more promising than a few months ago.

Na, it will base on his talent he expected to be a top Pick the family will go with the FS.
What mom wants there Kid to move away from home at 18.
So looking at the crows academies lists, I have a question.
I know a number of the U14-15 boys and I know their family background. They are from 'aligned' SANFL clubs, but we have no claims over them at all (not FS, Not next gen etc...) So my question is - why bother? What do we get out of developing these kids??

Increasing the pool of draftable players from SA, whom we could draft with a minimal "go-home" risk factor? At present, with the SANFL clubs in charge of development, the number of draftable SA players is obscenely low. This is part of the reason why only around 25% of Adelaide's players are originally from SA.

Also just basic numbers. Trying to run teamwork drills or have games against other teams with only eligible players doesn't work.

I guess that makes sense. Obviously not true for all, but the development from SANFL clubs is very poor.
I assume we get money from the AFL to run this sort of program.
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
And we'd have metro indigenous lads providing they were born overseas.
Like, I get why the AFL hamstrung us, Port, WCE and Freo from metro zones for indigineous players as you could build a very powerful side off that access, still though, it sucks.
What the hell? Kid has speed, agility and skills. Looks a gun.
I swear I've read posters down playing him here, did I imagine that?

Get with the programme, man! We need to tone it down.
I've just reported that video on YouTube, copyright infringement (White Stripes).

I think you did because I'm not sure what they could base it on, he was a virtual unknown.
A fair idea how promising he was he represented Pt Agusta as a 16 year old against Port Pirie in the Spencer Gulf Football League U21 curtain raiser to the JLT Showdown played in Port Pirie in March 2019.
Teams named for Under 21 clash
The best Under 21 players from Port Augusta and Port Pirie will face off in a curtain-raiser before...

I wonder why another Port Augusta indigenous lad Isaac Keeler isn't eligible for our Academy as I take it it's our zone, very talented athletic tall forward from what I've heard on the grapevine following a similar pathway to Newchurch schooling in Adelaide and playing for the Roosters U16's.
Special talent.
Quick. Skillful. Good height and mark overhead. Smooth mover with ball in hand. Goal kicker.
With an AFL body and learns midfield he could be something else.
Is he available for selection next week?.

How does our academy work? We have rights to these players but just have to match them with points if another team bids? That highlight package looks great
