That problem just doesn’t exist in South Australia, where are they going to go (if not AFL), Adelaide United?

We can agree to disagree, but IMO that just won’t work. The Broncos can guarantee a 15 yo kid, that if that are good enough they can have a career in Brisbane. If that kid is 50/50 on what sport to choose and you can’t guarantee a similar pathway into the AFL (a career staying in Brisbane), then...

There is no northern academies if no direct pathway to Lions, Swans etc. No academies = smaller talent pool. The competition is the other sporting codes (predominantly Rugby League in NSW/QLD). If you can’t offer something similar then you aren’t going to attract the elite talent. I guess if...

Yes and that’s the point. The AFL is trying to expand the talent pool by trying to attract elite talent to our game. A young kid can choose a pathway to their local NRL club in NSW/QLD, or otherwise (if there were no AFL club academies) try their luck at AFL and end up anywhere in Australia...

Brisbane Broncos have an academy/development program giving local talent a direct pathway to their club. Presumably now the dolphins have something similar. This is who the AFL are competing with for elite talent in Brisbane. How is this the AFL going to do this without something similar (ie...

When does Tassie team come in? Does he sign until then and keep that option open. If Fagan was to go as say a footy mgr to finish his career, that might get Hugh across.

Also mods, is it worth starting a “Membership 2024” thread?

Anyone tried to get 2024gather round tickets? I’m using 2023 bar codes with no luck. Don’t think I have 2024 codes yet(unless I missed an e-mail)

If not, maybe he can play a game in Levi’s to help with knee recovery😁

If Will has a game or two coming back through the reserves, it would be great to see if Levi could play in one of those.

How much crap do we have to listen to before they start calling out names?

This does seem the year to get free agency compo. Always thought we got unders on our compensations. Eg McStay, Rockliff (especially) and Leuemberger.

I won’t be putting that ugly Knight premiership poster next to the three Weg ones on the wall. Struggling for positives, I know 😁

Geez, M57 A 1 lol, geez, anyone know what side the cheer squads are?

Just got an email from Ticketek informing me Weezer are touring 😁
