Strategy Fremantle Dockers Next Generation Academy

[Taylor]

It's disingenuous but we could suggest their metro talent doesn't get to be matched at all inside the top twenty.

There is zero interest to remove the advantage for the Sydney teams. It's in the AFL, and in a roundabout way the rest of the players, that Sydney is considered an AFL city - add a billion dollars to the broadcast deal and the players all get a payrise.

 

[eastfreo75]

The whole bidding points system overrates later picks and underrate high picks.

A top pick is about 25-50% discounted.

Therefore, an early bid has a discount on a discount.

Swans have cleaned up and reduced their rebuilding time by half. Getting Mills and Heeney as top 5 picks while making finals, allow them to start the rebuild before missing on finals. Mills and Heeney were big discounts under the old system.

The AFL are very happy with the outcome and the general public don't understand the maths behind the bidding system.

 

[Dockeroo]

I'm sure the AFL can address this type of thing of the desire is there

That’s the point though - the AFL want Sydney to get these discounts.
If the swans or GWS spent seven years out of finals like us there would be a crisis in AFL house.

 

[Dockeroo]

We can match bids after pick #40.

A fully open NGA bid matching system would lead to zone drafting becoming far more of a determining factor in success than the fortune of a fair draft. Freo, West Coast, Adelaide and Port would only need five to ten years of that in place and the over supply of talent out of those two states would lead to four over powered clubs.

Our indigenous talent is elite. It's not really fair for the rest of the competition.
It takes away from the purpose of the Sydney club's academies, they are supposed to be a competitive advantage for them.

I’m not so sure it’s that elite? Who was the last elite player to come from the Kimberley zone we have access to?
I must say Motlop has stated off well at Carlton though. 15 disposals and 4 goals in VFL last week and could easily have played this weekend if not for covid.

The indigenous talent of Perth/WA is pretty special.

A few other names to watch include Christian Wilson (South Freo; really, really like this kid), Jett Sibosado (Claremont, 2023), Jacob Whan (South Freo, 2023) and Rohan MacNeill (Claremont),

It would be nice if Freo updated the Stephen Hill NGA squad list on the website so I could figure out all the underagers for us this year

have you seen any pre season games of colts yet or is this

Guys like Wilson and MacNeill i liked. last year but the under agers are all players i’ve been told to keep an eye one for various reasons, or have been mentioned on the freo website

 

[Taylor]

We need to get the freo number six from the auskick game closest to the interchange into our system. He was clean with the ball below his knees, agile, made space with a couple of steps and could snap the goals around his body. Kicked at least four that way.

 

[maccamk]

Anyone have a full list of our NGA’s playing colts this year?

Anyone know who number seven for the Peel Futures is? Someone mentioned he was Freo NGA. He was fantastic against East Freo in the Good Friday game.
He is tough and unbelievably quick.

Hi Bastyy do you think Jed Busslinger compares with Rhett Bazzo.

I‘ve only seen a little of Busslinger + from what I’ve seen Bazzo is way in front + more
flexible.

On the draft board the suggestion is Busslinger goes 1st round.

Anyone got access to this? Apparently our 205cm kid did very well

Freo NGA talent, ex-Eagle’s son among best in WA 17s trial

A giant Fremantle Next Generation Academy talent and a classy son of a gun were among the standouts in Sunday’s State 17s trial game at Joondalup.

Scaife kicked four did he?

 

[chris_chungus]

Scaife kicked four did he?

He kicked 4.3 after coming back from covid and a 1 game suspension.
This is from my draft page @wafootyprospects on insta
(marks and tackles stats is wrong, read it wrong when making it)

 

[theGav56]

Is he an after pick 30 NGA?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Is he an after pick 30 NGA?

They are all after 40 now

 

[theGav56]

They are all after 40 now

Well.... BOO.

 

[Taylor]

He is one injury away from a rookie list
