AFL Changing the NGA Program in 2021 which will see
-AFL Taking over the programs which reduce funding towards these programs
-NGA Players that are bid on in the first and second round will no longer have bid protection
-Once the protected period is over, Clubs can use later picks as normal
- AFL is concern that AFL Clubs are signing young talent up and not providing a correct pathway to AFL. By believing their natural talent will get them signed
-Players at age 15 that are signed to NGA will remain signed
Can confirm that Bulldogs are not one of these clubs with all the pathway programs they invest in NGA program.
Draft shake-up: Next Gen Academies to phase out access to top prospects
Changes to the Next Generation Academies are set to have an impact on where top prospects landwww.afl.com.au
CorrectSo, we still get him, right?
Very poor decision by the AFL, not that that comes as any surprise. Clubs will now put even less into these players in the hope they slip through to later rounds and then try develop them once they’re in, or just not put any time or effort into the NGA at all. Completely open to abuse and ends up achieving the exact opposite of what they set out to do with the academies in the first place.AFL Changing the NGA Program in 2021 which will see

I 100% agree. Half and half is rubbish either all in or all out imoVery poor decision by the AFL, not that that comes as any surprise.

Should just scrap clubs academies altogether and have the whole thing managed by the AFL with the players free to be drafted the same as any other non-father son prospect.

Ok thank fu** we get JUH.
but yes agree, run the academies through the AFL and no priority to any team, not even the northern states!
Doesn't sound like it.so are the northern academies not affected by this then?
That is an excellent idea. Could even have a premium on matching in the first round and a discount on matching second round onwards. That'd give incentive to other teams to go earlier with bids.Doesn't sound like it.
In my opinion, they're focussing on the wrong issue. If you want to balance the ledger, then remove the discount. Or better yet, apply a premium for matching, not a discount.
Yeah I have no problem with teams getting their academy kids, but cases like Blakey, Quaynor, Mills, Heeney, Green, Henry, and soon JUH, Campbell and McInnes, are blatantly unfair for the other clubs. Discounts are ridiculousThat is an excellent idea. Could even have a premium on matching in the first round and a discount on matching second round onwards.

Especially for those first rounders who arguably (or not in some cases) would have been in an arm system regardless. I also think those already tied to clubs through f/s should be ineligible for academies.Yeah I have no problem with teams getting their academy kids, but cases like Blakey, Quaynor, Mills, Heeney, Green, Henry, and soon JUH, Campbell and McInnes, are blatantly unfair for the other clubs.

Same applies to father sons
What are the criteria for getting an invitation? Do two clubs have to nominate you? That might explain it.Cody Raak not on the AFL state combine invitees list annouced today on the AFL website.
JUH and Ewan McPherson are on the list.
V strange that he is not being invited. *read nothing to see here......
