Strategy Fremantle Dockers Next Generation Academy

[Dirty_banchez]

I really like Taylor. Has that * you attitude needed to make it.

Henry has done some nice things, but he needs to dominate a bit more. You can tell his playing style has been influenced by the boys at Fremantle, especially the way he uses his body reminds me of Sonny sans head-ducking.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Dont think it will matter who he supports. Would you choose playing for your number 1 team in a different state, or your 2nd team in your home state. Different personalities choose different things but I think the majority would choose to stay in your home state if possible

 

[maccamk]

Does anyone know where the kids play? I hear they are in Melbourne and I hear they are back in WA?

I do too. The only questions seem to be around attitude and professionalism, which I think we have a pretty good environment to improve. Could impact his draft position though.

I did notice there was a Farmer that kicked a goal in the state 16's for WA, couldn't tell you if it is one of his sons or not though.

Melbourne's future father-son prospects

AFL Media look at Melbourne's father-son crystal ball

"However, Kobe Farmer, 16, the son of former livewire Jeff, is showing plenty of promise playing at Mandurah in Western Australia. The youngster would be eligible to play for Melbourne or Fremantle with Jeff playing more than 100 games for both clubs. The Demons are hoping Kobe may be able to participate in some of their father-son academy activities later this year. "

Though no mention of him at their father son day in April

The son is living in WA and father living in Victoria.

Yeah baby.

 

[Docker82]

Are we even going to bother with the draft next year or just match bids.

 

[fnerd]

Yeah baby.

It’s exciting all right but the skeptic in me reckons melbourne have definitely got Jeff over and accomodated him with employment in the hope it may sway the young farmer...especially when it’s looking likely he may be a decent prospect

Richmond pretty much did the like , except it being via schooling with Maurice jr.
The difference being him from the top end so he had no strong ties to come to wa where his dad really made a name for himself(and where his true football loyalties laid-Souths), that and Richmond offer bulk cash to Maurice jr and family.

Pretty dumb from our club not to do something similar.

Not sure but reckon we definitely trade out our first next year for another first this year regardless

A lot of unknowns.

Not sure Henry will go.

Western and Walker brothers are too far out to tell.

The general principle I agree with regarding swapping for future picks.

Most teams overrate their chances for the next season and their ability to spot talent ie the Stocker trade.

I really think that smart teams will capitalize on this.

 

[Joao]

There is a chance Walker and Western might get taken off us with the NGA review.

I hate the AFL

 

[maccamk]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the following year. The club has been slow to announce any NGA in the U16 age group

Very good chance.
The reviews main purpose will be to downsize and place all manner of restrictions on the WA clubs zones....then the corresponding review of the Victorian clubs zones will be to find “nothing to see here, business as usual”

 

[mightymouse75]

*. That was quick. What have we managed to get from it. S.f.a.
Afl just cant help themselves.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Review? What stinking review?

 

[Bender571]

From the Freo facebook
"Just a father and son having a kick at club HQ today "

 

[Nothing]

Struggles to pick the ball up but can slot them from anywhere still.

 

[Rubber Pants]

More from the wiz

 

[Rubber Pants]

Also see his son off to the side. Seems a good size for his age
