Brisbane Lions v Gold Coast Suns - Round 1

Just watched the first half of the game against Tasmania and you're not wrong about Gilder, looks an absolute beauty. Strong, tall and quick, also looks like a smart footballer making good decisions, reading the game well and pulled off some real penetrating kicks either across ground or into the middle.Gilder #22
Macaulay #19
Cruice #5
Gillett #23

Gillet looks super mobile for his size and took a couple nice marks, looks like a decent prospect. Liked the look of Macaulay, was clean and made good, quick decisions in the middle. Probably not Cruice's best half of footy, was a bit fumbly and didn't quite hit his targets but still moved well and going off how good the other 3 looked I'll assume he just had a poor half.
Yeah I saw that so kept an eye out for him, definitely stood out but I feel like a lot of it was based on effort and hustle work which isn’t a bad thing. More of a Gardiner/Answerth than Darcy Moore who Gilder looked a lot like.RMC has Greenaway as our best performer over the first two games. Medium rebounding defender.
Yeah but everyone hates Jack so it didn't count.lol, they've had a home at Jack Esplen Oval for a decade
QLD U15 beat VIC U15 today at the national U15 carnival.
No idea how many academy kids in the team, will have to do some research when I have time.
~19 academy kids. Where do the rest of the kids come from?14 Suns Academy kids in the side, including some very very good ones. (Jie Murray, Dylan Patterson, Kalani White (Jeff White's son), Zeke Uwland )
about 5 Lions kids, none of them particularly great. 2007 not a great year for the Lions catchment, very strong for the Suns. Daniel Annabel probably the pick of the Lions kids.
2006 and 2008, the opposite - Lions v.strong. Suns not so much.
I have only limited academy knowledge. Am I missing something? You do realize that from geographical point of view Suns academy is dealing with much more complicated situation?geographical advantage

Suns do relocate most talented kids to GC to live with families or bring them from time to time to train and play on GC like just now Johnston from NT who stayed a couple of weeks on GC and trained with AFL team and played 2 VFL games including yesterday vs Lions.
Suns basically restructured the whole academy program last off-season including new staff, trainers.
Once Springfield base is finished Lions should be in good shape.

Obviously not in either academy, so parents holding them out, or the academies have failed to “identify” them.
He said he doesn't want to play for brisbane.
8 minutes in he said "I will never play for brisbane unless Gadzorks quits bigfooty FOREVER!!!"Where did he say that?
I watched the U16 game, and gave a write up in our draft thread.QLD finished 2nd in the National u15 Carnival, losing to SA by 8 points.
6 x QLD lads in the All-Australian side, 4 of them from the Lions academy and the Medal for best player at the carnival won by a QLD kid from Sherwood Magpies.
Interestingly, there is another kid not picked in the QLD side (I thought it was a travesty) who I reckon is better than 5 of those 6 kids picked in the AA side, and he is also in the Lions academy and playing better club footy than anyone his age in SEQ.
Lions u16 side also defeated GWS by 100 points yesterday.
Bit of talent in the 06-07 birth years for Lions fans to look forward to
