Remove the discount completely for all FS & Academy picks. If a player gets bid on top 10, you pay a 10% premium to access them. Rest of the first round, 5% premium to access them. You must use a FRP and capped at 2-3 picks in total to match with points.

If you have multiple academy or FS picks in the same draft you plan to access, the same rules apply.

It doesn’t need to be some stupidly complex system. It just needs to make sense again and be implementable. Not sure why the AFL feel like they need to redesign the periodic table with their system.

AFL cracks down on player eligibility in NGA revamp

Clubs must spend more time with Next Generation Academy prospects and register their interest earlier in order to get priority draft access
www.afl.com.au www.afl.com.au

In the new eligibility, at least one parent is required to have been born in an eligible country, seeing examples such as Kye Fincher this year (who was born in Hong Kong while his mother was working abroad and is tied to St Kilda as a result) no longer accessible in the future unless the player has at least one parent born overseas.
Other important changes include:
  • the addition of the Pacific and Central and South American regions to the cultural eligibility criteria and the removal of European countries;
  • an expansion of age eligibility from 19 to 21 years to allow clubs to have more time to access players if they are late developers;
  • and a requirement that the player and their family must have resided in the NGA zone for at least 12 months before their application is submitted.
  • The new rules, to be introduced in 2026, will also include:
minimum requirements for clubs that clubs must meet to obtain draft concessions and NGA funding, including minimum number of players engaged, minimum hours of development of players and minimum reporting requirements;
  • clubs having to submit applications in a player's 15th year, brought forward from their 16th year;
  • allowing other clubs to pre-list NGA players who are not selected by their aligned clubs;
  • dedicating a Category B rookie list spot for NGA eligible players, which is triggered once a club fills its first Category B rookie position;
  • the AFL offering part-funding of Category B rookie contracts for Indian and Chinese players, with the funding on this incentive to be decided by the AFL;
  • the formal introduction of the AFLW NGA draft concessions for the 2026 draft.
The changes don't have an impact on Port Adelaide's bid for top 2026 draft prospect Dougie Cochrane to be approved for NGA status, with the club's application to be assessed on the current criteria being met.

The expansion of the age criteria is good since it incentivises us to bring NGA kids into the VFL team. Shame that CCP is still too old.

Also the change means that Paul Curtis would have been NGA eligible for us.

This is everything I've been fighting for
 
Going to be a tough loss of the metro and maybe Ballarat zone for us
 
The funding increase from 75k to 120k with Mini requirements is massive for the NGA
More access and funds to fast track talent

2021 draft. Imagine we came out of that draft with the best key forward and the best small forward.

Any players in particular it likely effects?

Metro unsure
Depends on inner west they move their zone

Ballarat mainly has developed players ATM
Nothing on the major radar ATM

This Teams were part of the Western Pathway matches against North Melbourne

The Western Pathways program, a collaboration between North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs, pairs up Next Generation Academy (NGA) prospects with the best players in their region, grants them access to top-line coaching and puts them in the sights of Talent League scouts.

This week saw combined Kangaroos, Bulldogs and “the best of the rest from the west” U15 squads take on equivalent squads from Essendon and the Calder Cannons.
 
North likely taking Northern Victoria which is more Richmond zones according to AFL reports
New NGA Map should be out next weekish

They’re not taking the west from us. We have retained almost all of our zone

Great to hear
Was worried we might lose a bit of our metro zone bordering north zone

AFL website reporting they will get Wyndham as well as a Northern corridor.

They pretty much had all of Wyndham from the start

The AFLs strategic direction plan has assigned us the entire western corridor which they may thin out mildly to incorporate North into some sort of zone but we aren’t losing much at all.
