[Jen2310]

Jen2310,

Can you please talk to your GCS board friends about giving us back our guy in 2024.

Who you ask?

GCS Academy: Zai Millane – Burleigh Bombers

There surley should be an uncle/nephew rule for the Millane family.

I agree. Hopefully they dont rate him in 2024 lol

In no particular order below is my 2023 top 20. A lot of quality in this draft, many of which would be top 10, worse case first rounders in this years draft (2022) Looking at this lot multiple first rnd picks in 2023 will be very desirable

Is it mostly mids in 2023? Any key position? Apart from Walter, of course. But not available to the rest of us.

No Moir?

No Moir?

My thought's exactly. Moir will be a top 5 pick next year

You might have left out the potential number 1 next year in Ashton Moir but the rest is good

Just look at all those Academy players…

What's the rule with academy and f/s now. If selected in the top 40 the club can't match bids on their academy or f/s kids?

Top 20 they can’t match.
20 to 40 use accumulated picks/points.
40+ use their next pick.

Pretty sure those were the rules last year. Now it’s matching only beyond 40, unless they’ve done a backflip.

There is talk clubs want it back to top 20. Was too late for this year, but something they may consider reverting back to.

Are the Northern Acadmeies still the same rules as Father Son?

 

[Jen2310]

Are the Northern Acadmeies still the same rules as Father Son?

Yeah, to that they have to use picks to match bids. Think they have the discount also. GC will have to start matching bids in 2023.

 

[Apex36]

Are the Northern Acadmeies still the same rules as Father Son?

Yes as far as I know. Honestly, the Sydney and Brisbane academies should operate the same as the NGA’s now. It’s far too great of an advantage for them to be bringing in academy players and father/sons with no restrictions.

I've never understood the logic behind Northern Academies needing to be run by an AFL team to start with. The Vic U18 comp seems to do a pretty fabulous job of churning out players without the need of being directly run by a club.

neilk the article I read was 2021 (couldn’t find anything more recent).
Apologies if I’ve mislead you and happy for someone to most a more current article ( would be appreciated).

The northern clubs have to compete with the NRL.

 

[sr36]

The northern clubs have to compete with the NRL.

The Cats and the Falcons show that there is enough incentive for the AFL club to develop a strong link and help to promote anything going on there. They don't need to be Sydney/Brisbane run with that club getting special access to the players who roll through their academy.

I think most of players prospective players tossing up between an NRL and AFL career want to avoid the draft. Falcons players don’t have the other options.

You would think the club and family would already be in his ear if he is a good prospect...maybe see the return of 42 to the field should he make his way to pies.

Note (and this was always going to happen in some regard given the size of the document), Jed Walter was left out and will be added next week. Was 100% on the list (obviously being a potential top 10 pick) but clearly shuffling names with each change saw him left off, but he's in there.
