List Mgmt. Next Generation Academy List

[Virgin Dog]

Been doing some digging
Chatfield- Indigenous
Raak- South African
Rajesh- Indian
Carlyle-Marks- Indigenous
Bayly- no info of background
Dobell- Japanese
Councillor- Indigenous
Scott- no info of background

Bayly is a British name, possibly Scottish but most likely English

 

[Roscoe_au]

Hopefully the inclusion of Varcoe at the club helps cement a really good culturally safe environment for the indigenous boys coming through.

Essendon, Richmond and Hawthorn have been strong in this space in Vic and its where a lot of the boys seem to gravitate.

Sam Chatfield


Kento Dobell

Cody Raak has signed with Footscray but will still play games for Western Jets when not selected

Dat swans academy has some serious talent on the way.

Other teams will start recruiting from there for sure IMO.

And they still have the audacity to be asking for a cost of living allowance

Lends a new meaning to Sydney having the gold standard.

At least 5 in that age group I reckon.

It makes sense. These boys (gulden and campbell included) are the first wave that have been trained since under 11s.

Good on him hopefully he has a fantastic year and we draft him

So do we get another crack at him next draft?

He was included in our list of NGA kids on the AFL site, so I'd assume so.

Yeah from my understanding, you'd usually get a crack in their draft year as well as the following year.

Hope you don't mind my posting but thought I would share.

Today I went to an under 16 practice match at Marby Park to see my grandson play (he is a doggie supporter) and in his team was this tall skinny kid that marked everything that came his way, kicked about 4 goals and has real footy smarts about him. He really stood out.

I asked someone who it was and they replied, 'that is Mathew Croft's son'. Seriously you can look forward to a very good father son recruit in a few years based on what I saw.

Think he has twins - maybe they were both playing

Teams have a two year window to select them

 

[Boristown]

New rule means clubs only have access to their NGA players outside the top 20 picks, so if they have a big year, there is a chance of them going elsewhere.

Next Generation Academy member Raak, who trained with the Western Bulldogs this year, was best afield.

The 18-year-old Caroline Springs product racked up 31 disposals in defence, showcasing his ability to intercept mark and read the play.

“He was very reliable in defence,” Williams said.

“Cody and the defenders as a whole took it upon themselves to back themselves in, read the play and play with a bit more flair.

“He typified that with having that many disposals and intercept marks.

“It was a fantastic performance, and he used the ball really well by foot as well. It was great for him to show all of his attributes in the first game.”

Raak has relished his move to the backline as he looks to stake his claim for a spot at AFL level.

Williams said the 192cm Raak was earning the rewards of his hard labour.

“He played forward for Vic Metro as a 16-year-old and started as a forward with us,” he said.

“But that defensive post he’s playing now seems quite natural to him from when we moved him there in the middle of the 2019 season.”

Let’s hope no one picks him up in the mid season draft.

 

[Dale4captain]

Geez you’d love for him to be a couple of inches taller, right? 192cm these days is third tall size. Hard to fit him in with our two 196cm fellas.

We need someone who’s your typical brick s**t house build if they’re on the lower end of 190cm.

 

[Maggie5]

Yes they said that but only saw the one playing, he was wearing 42 but was told numbers are likely to change.

Had a good temperament too as the opposition tried to niggle him but his focus was the ball.

If anyone is near the Maribynong area/zone, you guys should go and check him out.

If he can put on some size, then at the very least he could become an upgrade on Cordy as that undersized 3rd tall. Still doesn't displace either of Keath or Gardner though so hardly a long term solution to the KPD issue

He played some midfield mins in 2019, so Bevo already locking him in for that spot

Well, he can look forward to being turned into a dour backman then
