Wicks was just disrespected by the AFL in selection. He had runs on the board as MVP but because of southern state politics imo was overlooked. Sheather wasn't favoured at all but coaches saw something that matched their need. Both ultimately outliers but with different paths
Both pretty likely to have long and successful careers given their improvement so far.
I will cheer when we have too many Academy boys in the draft to take them all.

A new partnership between the QBE Sydney Swans Academy and both AFL North Coast and AFL North West allowing a greater number of development opportunities for talented and committed players. This partnership will provide a clear process for high performing players in the region to be selected to attend Sydney metro sessions for potential selection in higher level Swans Academy programs.

Sydney Swans partnership boosts local talent pathway
An exciting new partnership between the QBE Sydney Swans Academy and both AFL North Coast and AFL North West will provide greater opportunities for local players to make it to the big time.
Im interested in where the boundaries are?? My little fella plays in a comp including Tweed, Byron, Lismore and Ballina shires.. Its the Suns territory. I guess the 'North Coast' is from Coffs and south.A new partnership between the QBE Sydney Swans Academy and both AFL North Coast and AFL North West allowing a greater number of development opportunities for talented and committed players.

Have we extended our North coast and/or North West regions?
Good news regardless, The AFL is doing a good job up here in a world of soccer and league

Hate to get political (not really) but shouldn’t we be saying “Queensland can get their own academy players”? I mean, if they get injured, which hospital do they go to?
last year, my little fella gave the Suns footy back.. he said "Ive got a Swans footy"
It was a proud Dad moment haha
Yep, they're all mid north coast towns.. Coffs and SouthI assume AFL North Coast includes these clubs - no mention of Tweed, Byron, Lismore and Ballina clubs

Not sure how they justify giving NSW area to bloody QLD. That's a joke of gargantuan proportions.

Believe the justification is AFL Queensland have always provided the development in that area not AFL NSW/ACT and therefore one of the Queensland teams gets the benefits of work done by the State body.

I grew up in the western Riverina and there was a fair bit of allegiance to Victoria. Melbourne was 250 miles vs Sydney 470.
I reckon Ill start plotting the Suns moving South to Tassie instead.. I was here first hahaSGBeach have you thought of moving south a few kms. ?

The U19 play their first match this weekend. They have a squad of 30 players.
My nephew got picked in the 22 for the match so that is good news.
They play their next match in Brisbane in two weeks.

They had to ship his younger brother off to stay at his grandparents house early in the week because he caught COVID on Monday. Didn't want to get COVID and miss the match.
