Stack is indigenous, however he was never part of our next generation academy.

We only get 1 remote area, not all of WA

Tendai mixed the boys around a lot position wise. Great team effort by Freo.

Is the Eagles NGA that crap or are they just trying to hide their talent.

 

[hoss]

I don't know what's going on. I've seen 4 or so games now and the results have all been similar. It's hard to believe that the two academies could be so far apart. Can't be a good experience for the WCE kids.

I am really enjoying the opportunity to follow young guys developing in a structure tied to the club. The concept is a terrific initiative of the AFL, and I am looking forward to hearing about the stats regarding increased participation in the AFL.

Henry in this years draft is that right?

What year are Western & Thomas eligible?

Well done to your boys. Beat us in almost every aspect of the game. I dont think it has anything to do with the training as both clubs have very similar training schedules. I still say its because Freo has a better talent pool to select from.

We didnt appear to have many top agers playing and your side outsized us significantly.

Hopefully it motivates Drew and the team to change up what they are doing.

Looks like Kelly and Henry are heading towards being on our list in this years crop, are any of the others looking worthwhile?

Should stop giving my brother a hard time, turns out he was captain for Freo this game. I have decided if the kid makes AFL he can pay me back for all the shit I bought him lol

I'd be giving him a hard time over getting ahead of themselves in the second quarter. Lift the leadership kiddo, football goes for four quarters.

Took five minutes and I've got reasons to give him another heartfelt chat, much appreciated.

(I wasn't there, just had Mum floods the daylight out of my Facebook with photos so assumed they were going well).

I'm not supposed to share this but every new mum gets a visit from Facebook, it's actually against the law not to post lots of your children's success and who your celebrity doppelganger is, it's not a choice.

My son (2005) was dwarfed out there by most of his team so I would guess Freo's side were mainly 04 models.
In terms of development, the difference between the two academies is not ideal - either as a kid on the end of 100pt drubbings or for competition for the Freo kids.

Where are the Walker twins currently playing?

East Freo colts along with another Freo NGA boy in Keanu Haddow....all three are doing their bit in both wins so far for EF.

Do you mean location on the field? Half back I believe....

Totally agree. I spoke to Drew about it yesterday and he said something to the effect of "teams are only as strong as their weakest link. When one person on the team doesn't man up properly, it leaves players open and attacking teams will have a constant overlap forcing the defense to constantly back pedal"

He praised your boys for their silky skills though as he thought we were competitive on the inside but when the ball got on the outside, you moved it fast and effectively.
