News Port Adelaide's Next Generation Academy

Hes a wingman

 

[philthy05]

Stick thin kid who to my eye looked quite quick and nimble. For an outside player he had plenty of games where he racked up 3-4 clearances from memory, so while outside he can still extract the ball using that nimbleness.


I tried to watch him in his underage year knowing he was nga eligible but he was completely invisible, so there must have been marked improvement this year unless he was playing injured or something last year. Probably the former.

As a rookie / cat b pickup why not take a punt, but he’s a prospect who’s got a lot of work to do so I wouldn’t get my hopes up, but there’s enough there to like adding him.

It's important to maximise use of the Cat B list to help make the Magpies competitive as well.

Another Peaq professional!

I don't think we have to take him in the national draft and can rookie him if no one makes a bid on him.

In November 2020 we nominated Taj Schofield as a father son ( along with NGA player Lachie Jones who was bid on at 16), we didn't take him at the national draft and so we took him, as we automatically had rights to him at the rookie draft with our last pick.

Also at the draft the crows had 2 NGA players Tarick Newchurch and James Borlase under the bullshit born in Egypt loophole, they nominated both of them, neither were selected at the national draft and they were given the rookie Category B status.

I assume the same will happen to Nathan and he is a Category B rookie and we will have a squad of 43.

What are our future NGA prospects?
I only have.

Benny Barrett - 2024

Is he definitely tied to us? Because this is certainly a nice feather in his cap.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Watch the AFL change this qualification. He'll probably be magically aligned to Gold Coast's Academy next year.

Didn't think we can match academy bids in the first 30 picks?

 

[Powerade 08]

Don't think so. He isn't near the 2023 SA state team or the 2024 train on list

SANFL announces 2024 Under 18 Academy

The SANFL has announced its Under 18 state academy squad for 2024, featuring 32 of South Australia's brightest prospects.

Montgomery and Burgoyne are probably a better chance

It was the top 20 a couple of years ago, so clubs could only match from pick 21 onwards. Now I think it's top 40.

Northern Academies have no restrictions.

They are looking at changing it back to top 20 protected and so they should.
they should make Sydney and Brisbane's to the same. GC and GWS give them a few more years and then change theirs

It's not terrible for a small forward. Lets see what he can do in 2024.

Based on stats alone how did he poll 24 votes?

Must be quite the eye catcher.

Must be quite the eye catcher.

Those stats were from his 2023 U18 season, not from his 2022 medal winning U16 season

Thats Benny Barrett (small forward from South Adelaide) our NGA potential draftee for 2024.

As long as he lasts until after pick 40, then we can match a bid on him

Doubtful he lasts that long. However it wouldn't surprise me if the AFL bring the NGA cut-off back to the pick 10-20 range as an effort to keep the peace.

He looks kinda angry with the world.
