How does one get academy/zone players?

I feel like we always miss out on this stuff. Our F/S are always late. Our Irish experiment went well for a while, but dried up.

How do North, Pies, Dees, Dogs etc. have zone/academy players?

So Hill might end up at Geelong?

That's OK. The saints might be able to get him in 2-3 years when he gets cold feet again / is homesick / awaysick / any other reason to walk out mid-contract...
More likely they will help the Saints get Hill and get Jack Steven deal done at same time.
 
We need skill. Already the midfield is well under par with Ed, Dow
Jones would be a solid addition to our midfield, brings speed and hardness around the contest, right age profile

SOS could look to bundle him in with Papley ... it'd be ideal if they were good mates

We have an academy, just nothing decent yet
 
Hey Arrow do you know much about Tyrone Thorne or Ryan Bennell, I read on the AFL site that Thorne has a bit of Betts about him, also him and Bennell broke the WA combine agility record.

Would be a good time to bring in a young indigenous small forward to work with Eddie in his last couple of years and learn all they can from him, could use a late pick or maybe a rookie selection to get him.

Did wonders for Garlett and then Charlie Cameron at Adelaide so I think with him returning it is perfect timing to get a young kid to learn from the great man. Do you have any other suggestions for players that could fit the bill?
 
To be fair, Zak went at 71.1% disposal efficiency this year, from 380 disposals. Which was far better than Dow (271 @ 64.2%) and Curnow (496 @ 63.1%)
Which is also above average in the comp, he also provides run and a hard body to protect the young ones.

Chicken seems to think this is a massive ploy/bluff by Geelong so they can get Jack Stevens cheaply to the Cattery. That seems a bit far fetched to me, even by Nixon's standards.
 
I was doing some Instagram stalking today.

Eddie Betts had has last stop on his book tour at Norwood arts centre. Which has been ongoing for the last 2 weeks. (Which is why I believe this wasn’t done last week, Carlton is going to want the feel good photo) He is obviously now available for a photo shoot & press conference at Princes Park.

Assuming he spent the night in Adelaide & he doesn’t want to rush in the morning (Tough with kids) and the AFL Virgin contract, I’m tipping a 130pm press conference and a lodgement just before that. That would mean the 935am out of Adelaide arriving at Tulla at 1125, then giving him a couple of hours before the announcement.

So every get ready around 130pm
Last person to hold us up because of a book tour? MM

Sorry to be the buzz kill...
