[The Nostradamus]

the near misses are what makes this more annoying

Tyler Welsh the best key forward in this draft going to crows would’ve been perfect for us

 

[giantroo]

Who are the most likely prospects coming through GR?

Harro (Calder), Grant (Sandy), K.Pickett (SA) are the main ones I've heard some things about.

Any noise about Will Crocker?

Nothing at this stage.

 

[Val Keating]

Do people forget Blakey had the option to choose North but didn’t? It’s silly to say he should be playing for us, he didn’t want to.

Not the point, sons of AFL players should not be eligible for academy selection. They can go into the draft if they don’t want to play for the club their father played at.

We’re told the whole point of the Northern academies is to entice kids to play Aussie rules instead of Rugby League to grow the game.

 

[bennymate]

Its a stupid rule that shouldn't exist

It's hard to say near miss really here, he played more games for the Dogs than he did us. Still, would have been nice.

 

[King Corey]

Don't need a K.Pickett when you've had a J.Mahony on the books.

 

[Merlin007]

Don't care about all that. Academy or otherwise, FS should trump all. J.Blakey played more than 100 games for us. His son should wear the same colours.

People seem to forget Blakey senior also played 100+ games for Fitzroy, thus linked to Brisbane, and his son chose not to go there too.

 

[Merlin007]

Which is all fair.

I see it more a failure of John's than a failure of Neck's.

The frustrating part is we then employed John to help turn us to s**t.

Also Jason McCartney was at GWS and as far as I know his boys have never not been North supporters.

I agree with this bit - Blakey senior left Sydney so he wasn't involved in coaching his son, and we graciously helped out

 

[Bowski]

Could Stevens leaving the board be partially due to not wanting to be a shadow over his son if drafted?

 

[shinboner magic]

It's hard to say near miss really here, he played more games for the Dogs than he did us. Still, would have been nice.

And he only left us because there was a death in the family - would have played over 100 games with us otherwise.

25 yr reunion for 99 flag this year - get in his ear about pointing his son towards the draft (us)

 

[sruss]

He shouldn't have had the choice is my point

I mean, I get it but he lived in Sydney and wanted to play for Sydney. Do we really want someone who comes to us as a backup to their actual preference? I personally wouldn’t

 

[The Warlord]

Exactly, he's as bad as JHF IMO. Don't wanna be here? You're a campaigner.

Never forget the King Rat of them all

 

[Merlin007]

slavery was last abolished in the 'western' world in 1863. Not sure even the AFL can bring it back

If they could spin it positively through PR and make a buck off of slapping some advertising on it then they would damn well try!

???

F/s doesn't MAKE the kid come to that club.

Blakey could have just entered the draft and maybe had to move interstate like everyone else.

exactly - but one of the arguments on here seems to be that a F/S (ie Blakey) should be compelled to go to his father's club

 

[LB2Snake]

The Lizard is a gun but I reckon he’s an ordinary individual. Imagine not wanting to play at your old man’s club where he was a two time premiership player. Do not rate.

 

[Luke72]

No but Sydney getting the free hit was salt in the wound.

They will when they change the rule so players can be traded to whichever team suits the club. It happens in American sport so the AFL (and Hutchy) love the idea b

Josh Kelly should have been compelled to go to his old man’s club. Bastard!!

Yep, that part is rotten no doubt

 

[Flawed Genius]

Yeah and that's fine. He should have been restricted to - North (F/S) or Lions (F/S) or decline both and enter the draft. If you are F/S eligible, it overrides any Academy eligibility. You are not going to be lost to the game if your father is a 357 game player. I believe there is still room for romance and sentiment in an increasingly corporatised league, and F/S is one of those things that qualifies. If Nick had have chosen to go to the Lions obviously you'd be disappointed but you'd understand. The Academy choice is one which you can't help but be cynical about IMO

 

[Caracas]

If Junior Blakey was playing for us, I reckon he’d have been a cult hero on here. The way he moves harkens back to JWS.
