    News AFL to overhaul the draft, discuss changes to Academy and FS bid matching

    That problem just doesn’t exist in South Australia, where are they going to go (if not AFL), Adelaide United?

    News AFL to overhaul the draft, discuss changes to Academy and FS bid matching

    We can agree to disagree, but IMO that just won’t work. The Broncos can guarantee a 15 yo kid, that if that are good enough they can have a career in Brisbane. If that kid is 50/50 on what sport to choose and you can’t guarantee a similar pathway into the AFL (a career staying in Brisbane), then...

    News AFL to overhaul the draft, discuss changes to Academy and FS bid matching

    There is no northern academies if no direct pathway to Lions, Swans etc. No academies = smaller talent pool. The competition is the other sporting codes (predominantly Rugby League in NSW/QLD). If you can’t offer something similar then you aren’t going to attract the elite talent. I guess if...

    News AFL to overhaul the draft, discuss changes to Academy and FS bid matching

    Yes and that’s the point. The AFL is trying to expand the talent pool by trying to attract elite talent to our game. A young kid can choose a pathway to their local NRL club in NSW/QLD, or otherwise (if there were no AFL club academies) try their luck at AFL and end up anywhere in Australia...

    News AFL to overhaul the draft, discuss changes to Academy and FS bid matching

    Brisbane Broncos have an academy/development program giving local talent a direct pathway to their club. Presumably now the dolphins have something similar. This is who the AFL are competing with for elite talent in Brisbane. How is this the AFL going to do this without something similar (ie...

    Training 2024 Preseason training reports and discussion

    When does Tassie team come in? Does he sign until then and keep that option open. If Fagan was to go as say a footy mgr to finish his career, that might get Hugh across.

    Anyone tried to get 2024gather round tickets? I’m using 2023 bar codes with no luck. Don’t think I have 2024 codes yet(unless I missed an e-mail)

    If not, maybe he can play a game in Levi’s to help with knee recovery😁

    Looking ahead to 2024

    If Will has a game or two coming back through the reserves, it would be great to see if Levi could play in one of those.

    This does seem the year to get free agency compo. Always thought we got unders on our compensations. Eg McStay, Rockliff (especially) and Leuemberger.

    Game Day Qualifying Final, 2023 - Brisbane Lions vs. Port Adelaide

    I hate watching games on tv these days. Why all these fancy camera shots. I just want to see what’s going on

    Recommitted Deven Robertson [re-signed for 2 years]

    You realize 2nd round picks will be pushed back 5 or 6 spots due to matchings and free agent compos. Not much point saying you have pick 19

    Recommitted Deven Robertson [re-signed for 2 years]

    Pick 20 will end up being something like pick 25 or so. Lions 2nd rounder (tied to cats) will probably be around a mid 30’s pick. Thinking something like Dev and Lions second rounder for WCE’s 2nd, and random future 3rd and 4th rounders from either side thrown in to confuse everyone

    The positives thread

    Looks like our 2nd round draft pick tied to Geelong is going to be 10+ spots higher than most of us expected.

    Game Day Round 21, 2023 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

    Why do they have special comments back in Melbourne studios, if all they do is read stats? We need them at the ground to tell us what is going on, outside what their crappy camera work isn’t showing us.
