There is a bigger picture.
Expanding the game to all kids who have never experienced the great game of AFL.
I did not say that cynically. I said that genuinely.
I think it is the best game of football played with an odd shaped football. By far.
...the player hasn't been involved with a football club for 3(?) years, this can include players who have previously been on an afl list like AlexKeath. The Northern academies are taking whole batches of athletes introducing them to the game and fostering community footy. Some are lucky enough...
Theyd be screaming out for AlexKeath right now. He would be playing round 1 if he didnt retire.
Lobb, O'Donnell, Khamis, Busslinger and i suppose Naughton now, will be their key back stocks.
Larkey should honestly be a massive factor in round 1.
With no Treloar now, i dont think Phillips...
...Bulldogs: Dom Bedendo (delisted – Port Melbourne), Charlie Clarke (delisted – Port Melbourne Colts), Caleb Daniel (North Melbourne), AlexKeath (retired – East Brighton), Jack Macrae (St Kilda), Aiden O’Driscoll (retired), Kelsey Rypstra (delisted – North Adelaide), Bailey Smith (Geelong...
...next?
WESTERN BULLDOGS
Dominic Bedendo (delisted) – Port Melbourne (VFL)
Charlie Clarke (delisted) — Port Melbourne Colts (Southern FNL)
AlexKeath (retired) – East Brighton (Southern FNL)
Aiden O’Driscoll (retired) – Assistant coach at Perth colts (WAFL) and is eyeing off a career in...
The ones that do come back to footy have a higher success rate than picking athletes and trying to turn them into footballers.
AlexKeath, James O'Donnell, Wil Parker from cricket
Matt Owies, Hugh Greenwood from basketball
There are others too
These types of players have high floors and can...
So we're limiting ourselves to only what we've managed to do before - the vast majority of which has been a failure?
What about other clubs who have succeeded with Cat B's?
There are a lot of kids from African backgrounds who have focused on soccer but are incredible athletes, or tall kids who...
All our successful cat B rookies had played a shedload of AFL before taking up other sports i.e. AlexKeath who would have gone high in the draft going on his Murray Bushrangers junior form (was drafted to the Suns as a 17 year old), Hugh Greenwood and Ricky Henderson, not one of the cat B rucks...
...Perth WAFL
Zane Trew - Swan Districts WAFL
Alex Witherden - TBC
Bulldogs
Dom Bedendo - TBC
Charlie Clarke - TBC but linked to Port VFL
AlexKeath - East Brighton (Vic)
Aiden O’Driscoll - unlikely to be playing
Kelsey Rypstra - North Adelaide SANFL
Take your pick of the TBCs. Personally I’d...
...is all before FA horse shit ruins everything in the offseason and knocks our picks back even further when a mid nothing player, like say AlexKeath, leaves Bulldogs and they get pick 2 as compo.
Then the AFL could give Norf another tin rattling bail out bounty for being useless. A lot can...
JJ and Betts didn't want to stay, Sauce,Otto and Dougie were cooked, the others we offered 2 year contracts + triggers to. We just misjudged how long they had left in the game. Our 2020 list was about a month younger on average than the premier. Plus you're deliberately ignoring the...
We did not get rid of Greenwood, Keath and Jacobs we offered them contracts.
Otten and Douglas retired, their AFL careers finished.
Betts and Jenkins fall out from the camp and Betts had he wanted to stay we would have kept him.
Cam Ellis-Yolmen? Really?
Anyone who thinks we were in full...
...At the end of 2019, the Crows got rid of -
Eddie Betts, Richard Douglas, Cam Ellis-Yolmen, Hugh Greenwood, Sam Jacobs, Josh Jenkins, AlexKeath, and Andy Otten.
Eight senior players. And six of them played for another club the following year.
Anyone who thinks deciding to do that WASN'T...
Yep that XI all played test cricket and top level (VFL, SANFL, WAFL) football. Can’t imagine we’ll ever see the likes of that again - AlexKeath (and possibly the leggie Parker from Vic/Collingwood) are the only recent AFL / FC cricket dual sportsmen that I can think
...Redman was 1 pick later. Otherwise the best of the rest in that region is probably Blake Hardwick, Marcus Adams, Bailey Williams.
There was a few good players late that draft year though. Papley, Dan Houston, Tipungwuti, AlexKeath all came in the rookie draft. Jordan Dawson in the 4th round.
Weird that they don’t mention Will Ashcroft as ex BGS. God the media do a sloppy sloppy job these days. Does no one proof read an article?
Don’t think there is a single piece I read these days that I don’t thing, “Hang on, is that right?”
My son is just completing VCE at BGS. Great school...
The afl is becoming an elitist sport run by old boys. More and more players are from private schools. The tac cup or whatever its called, should be scrapped with a school system
...academic school,” Jack said.
Brownlow Medal winner Ollie Wines was a graduate of Goulburn Valley Grammar in 2012, while Clayton Oliver and AlexKeath are among other students from the school who have made it to the AFL.
