News AFL Grants all VIC Clubs Acadamies

[sydney eagle]

So if you bring a kid through your academy, do you get guaranteed first access (pending points/bidding) or does the kid have to nominate you like F/S?

Interesting thought "Bender". I hope that it will be the same system as is used for the existing acadamies at the moment.

So are the academies that the Victorian clubs have been allocated exclusively for kids with African, Asian or potentially other non English speaking backgrounds? Or are these the only players that clubs can potentially have prior access to? I don't really understand this. Why would say American or English kids who aren't familiar with the AFL for instance not fall under the program?

Did you read the article?

I love the fake articles that run through facebook where there is around 10 outraged posts before someone actually reads the (obviously) fake article.

We're moving too far away from the pure draft.

This is what should be thoroughly reported on by the supposed "professional" sports reporters.

Are you only considered multicultural if you have a parent born overseas? How do they determine that. Or is it by race/religion/non-english last name....

dockers get north of geraldton

Surely we get Margaret River since we are the "Chardonnay Sippers"?

It's simple, give the dockers everything south of the swan and us everything north of it. That way they get all the southern suburbs, mandurah, bunbury, busselton, albany, esperance etc. etc.

We get all the northern suburbs and all the way up to Kununurra. (also means we get Kalgoorlie etc. etc.

We should get to Keep Albany since the McGoverns are from there....

While we're renaming it in the interests of accuracy, we should delete the "Vic". All clubs are getting academies, it just happens that the Victorian ones were announced today.

been a bit quiet on the WA and SA front
