Player Rick Shaw? I glad we included him in the Academy. I have been on his bandwagon since 2011!

Good to see you rate Ban Dwagon too. Great story - young Korean kid coming through.
 
Are Dawson and Hammelman playing for the ais team this weekend vs Collingwood VFL?

I read an article of the game being played and would assume they are involved but have herd nothing of them specifically.

Hammelman named among the bests for the AIS, Dawson gets on the scoreboard.

Neither get mentioned in the write-up, unfortunately. Would be interesting to hear more, particularly about Hammelmann's game.

Yeah is promising but would love to know more. Sounds like there wouldn't have been a lot of quality supply into the forward line. Also I think they played 27 players so game time would have been limited.
 
Guys, remember, Victoria, you have to be from Victoria to be written about.

I just hope they didn't put Hammo back like they did with Tickner last year. Forwards, we need forwards.
 
As someone who around the junior rep scene, I would implore the Lions to pump unprecedented funds into the Logan and Ipswich area to engage the African population. At some recent underage rep trials some African boys who had played very little AFL were the most exciting talents there. What needs to be understood is that they come from family structures unfamiliar with supporting an academy process and with limited finances.

Unfortunately this is the problem.
 
LOL. Funds!

Hammelmann named in the best again with a couple of goals at an AIS Academy trial in London.
Weller also among the best, super disappointing he isn't in our academy. Apparently Dawson was one of the best afield against the Collingwood reserves so far our top two QLD's look to be living up to their hype.
 
After last year I hope these two continue their good showing. If we have to use our second and third picks I will be happy with this as they must be high rated by other teams. Obviously would rather get them for a bargain but I can't see teams just making us use high picks. They're tracking well and hope they continue. Go Boys!

Exciting to hear about Hammelmann. Was hoping to see Dawson's name pop up too. Could be good 2nd and 3rd round selections for us in the coming draft.

Weller is in the Suns academy but cannot be drafted by them using the academy rules as he has not been living in Qld long enough.

So we could potentially still draft Weller if he was considered best available with our first pick.

Yeah was really surprised to learn that he and his folks only moved up here because Mav got drafted.
 
Still can't believe Hammelmann has turned into close to the best talent in QLD. What do you guys think we will have to pay for him? 1st, 2nd or 3rd round pick?

My prediction, 2nd on Dawson, 3rd on Hammelmann. Both bargains.

I'll go same picks, reversed. Academic in the end. Looking like it will be a great get if we can pick up both and not use our first rounder
