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.

In fairness to him, he was barely alive when North were winning flags with his dad. Most of his life has been supporting the Swans… and his dad.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

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

Throw in racism and some kind of gender bias as well if you want to be really dramatic.

KC's point stands if he didn't want to exercise his F/S rights at either clubs he was eligible to play for he should have gone into the open draft. (Open draft isn't code for picking cotton for no pay and being chained up)

Edit: FG's point

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

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

NO one has made that point?

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

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

Honorable people tend to do things like that. Boomer stepped away when Cooper came on board. Donald took a job outside the football department when Luke was drafted. And Stevo is certainly an honorable person.

 

[The Warlord]

I haven't seen anyone say that, only that its bullshit he could go to Sydney's academy.

If John had worked at the Crows and Nick had grown to love Adelaide, he wouldn't have been able to join the Crows Academy.

Its just bullshit.

 

[shinboner magic]

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

Would be good is hodge jnr picks the lions then it might get them to change it.

Arch did similar?

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Arch did similar?

Oh yes he did too.

Sav Rocca's son Marcus has joined Collingwood's father son academy, hopefully he nominates us in a few years time. Some guy on the Collingwood board said he saw Sav's son at a barber and was in his ear the whole time about nominating Collingwood, interesting behaviour...

 

[LB2Snake]

In fairness to him, he was barely alive when North were winning flags with his dad. Most of his life has been supporting the Swans… and his dad.

Fair enough.......should have gone into open draft then. You don't get to play who you barrack for. It was/is a rort

Thought Sav saw himself as a rooboy in the end.

Tough sell to get your kids to pick us over Collingwood these days though.

Yeah, I agree with that. I was more talking about the notion that he’s somehow a “bad person” for wanting to go to Sydney. For all I know, he could be a horrible human being. However, I wouldn’t make that assertion, specifically, on the back if his desire to play for the Swans.

's son Kalani. The Academy isn't just about unearthing league talent. It's about nuturing and developing talent in states that don't have the Coates league. In Fact pretty sure the academies play some games against the Coates league teams.

mate, it might be bullshit, but it's economics. The reason why the latest CBA is going to make millionaires of players across the competition is because of national broadcast deals, and the success of the code in NSW and Queensland is absolutely fundamental to that equation. So yes, the academy system is deliberately designed to ensure the success of the northern teams, but blakey's not the only one - heeney gulden warner would all have gone high in an unadulterated draft

I'm not saying I like it any more than you do, but them's the economic facts of life

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Father Sons hey? The Curse of JWS continues.

Con someone with at least half a brain explain to my why Joel Crocker was ever on our list? If his name was Joel Wang, would he have been gifted a spot on our list? Just curious.

 

[Luke72]

Letting kids go to the team they support?!? You might have something

 

[LB2Snake]

He would have been fully aware of the history of FS’s and how much it means to supporters of a club. He’s taken the easy loophole option and for this I think he’s a tool.

 

[krakouers]

Does this mean, we finally get the BFNAAK rule?

 

[My Left Foote]

Yeah, from what I’ve read he certainly enjoyed his time more at North. There was an interview with Eugene Arocca talking about when he was deciding whether to take the CEO role with us and Sav’s wife was telling him what a fantastic club we were and what a great experience they’d both had. The way he tells it she really got him over the line.

What I’m trying to say is Marcus Rocca > North Melbourne, make it happen Euge you owe us.

 

[Caracas]

Fair enough. God, I’d hate to be held to such strict protocols in my life.

 

[Lomas]

Fair enough. God, I’d hate to be held to such strict protocols in my life.

I think the bigger issue is that a player can choose to nominate for an academy, as opposed to just going into the open draft, when they come from a background where the father was an established afl player and assistant coach. The development argument for academies to have precedent falls down.

 

[desie]

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.

Partly that, and partly to provide talented kids with an elite environment where they’re not being ‘coached’ by a dad who barely knows the rules or where they’re playing a standard of football that is woefully inadequate.

 

[year of the roo]

Father Sons hey? The Curse of JWS continues.

Of all the shitty list management decisions we've made in the last decade, this one irks me the least. We took the son of a current employee and Premiership player, with an extremely late pick, and rolled the dice on him to see if he had what it took after the minimum 2 years in an elite environment. It would have been crazy if he'd been given an undeserved extension, as we've handed out a few of those! No harm, no foul.

 

[JGreezy]

The rules shouldn't allow FS to be academy eligible but I can't fault Blakey if he lived in Sydney, had friends there, and had the option to stay home, so he took it.

 

[Val Keating]

Partly that, and partly to provide talented kids with an elite environment where they’re not being ‘coached’ by a dad who barely knows the rules or where they’re playing a standard of football that is woefully inadequate.

Yes Blakey would never have even heard about Aussie rules if it wasn’t for the academy
