Mine definitely are. I blame the hormones they are putting in beer.
Yes I am fighting a losing battle over here on the west coast and as much as I love the AFC they do not really connect anywhere near as much as PAFC.

Yeah I rang them first and asked who to send it through to and was told they only reply to official emails - yep still waiting...
If
If Fages & Trigg can return emails to members that are upset about something why can't the club respond to this? For a club to be telling their members they are striving for elite standards across the board, this is a poor result by the AFC.

Yep I work at a school in a special program for Aboriginal students - to work on an incentive for them I suggested a trip to Adelaide depending on their attendance and achievement over a period of 2-3 school terms - I rang and emailed the club {the public relations officer} I received a reply some 12 months later saying training wasn't happening so little point. I rang the club in Nov/Dec 2016 informing them of our hope to attend the 2017 trip to PNG they informed me to send an "official" email - no reply. I know that if I email Port tomorrow I will gain an offer of support, I am not sooking but it hurts that the opposition is so much better in this district and it is hard to argue against, Port are here regularly and this is no longer their recruiting zone.
To answer your question I would like to see our club offer even half of the support/interest in our kids as our competition.
Henley were the ones that got caught back in my day.
The article implies that he is
"A familiar name was amongst participants in the third Next Generation Academy Talent Squad session held at Adelaide Football Club on Tuesday.
Tyrone Milera – younger brother to Crows half-forward/wingman Wayne Milera Junior – was part of the group of 25 up-and-coming footballers taking part."

Might be cynical, and for what it is worth i have had similar dealing with the two AFL clubs. Ports Community programs Dept. are far and away better.
But I bet if it was a female program or something that would get them on the back page of the paper it wouldve happened 12 months ago.

Anyone watch the Next Generation Academy kids play on Friday 21st July before the Geelong game.
there were a couple of good kids running around. a good sign for the Crows.

I can back up a lot of this. I'm from the Eyre Peninsula and a lot of schools do camps down to Adelaide. Teachers organising the camps (more than 50% are crows supporters) typically say they don't bother with trying to contact the crows for a tour, because they don't seem interested and because port on the otherhand bend over backwards. I did a school tour of the power hq at alberton in 2015, the tour was conducted by Russell Ebert and there were players moving about and some training in the facility at the time we were there. We were allowed to stand and watch some of the indoor training drills for a while. Was galling for me.

I suggest emailing Fagan about these issues and see if a change starts to occur.

What a god send it was that his first exposure to footy was 119. He wouldn't want to go with 10km of playing for the pear after that.
Excuse my ignorance, but when academy kids come through ours, will we be able to draft them easily regardless of ladder position like Sydney and GWS?

Yes, the same rule applies. Father Son is also part of the next generation academies. with the Father Daughter program to start soon.

Yes.. up until the point we can draft them. And then AFL storms in and says sorry, but you know, Adelaide.
By the time we can draft him he would have played footy for about 7 or 8 years.
He will hardly be new to the game.
Isn't this set up a bit racist?
All well and good we may benefit from it, but the reality is he is no different to any Anglo or European background kid. Apart from the colour of his skin and the particular country he was born.

I think the idea is to inspire more kids of similar backgrounds to play afl. Im not against that.
If it were that simple we'd have heaps of players of Asian and African extraction being drafted already.
