[Oakleigh Roo]

Still 194cm, that’s one I’ll have to change back

Has he put on any weight ? Or I think he was in the 70s last year. Surprised he hasn’t put on any height in the last 12 months! Do you see that as a problem ?

He is 84kg now, nah not a problem at all.

He’s grown 10cm. Now looks down on McGovern.

Hahaha nah it’s not that major

Not sure what’s going on up in WA but there are some pretty notable differences to a few key players.

What does the (AH) stand for?

 

[eDPS]

What does the (AH) stand for?

Have a guess

 

[briztoon]

Have a guess

Seriously drawing blanks.

 

[eDPS]

Seriously drawing blanks.

Ugh if you can’t get it I don’t think anyone will

Stands for Academy Hub

 

[briztoon]

Ugh if you can’t get it I don’t think anyone will

Stands for Academy Hub

Yeah, I thought A stood for Academy. It was the H that stumped me. I’ve never used hub before, when discussing the various academies.

 

[eDPS]

The term used by all states now is hubs so that’s what I went with, think you will find it’s the new common term if you search it up

 

[briztoon]

I’ve read it heaps, but because I haven’t used it, it just didn’t click.

But a lot doesn’t click for me, so others probably got it.

So that's kids in the state program as opposed to NGA qualifiers for that specific region/club?

 

[eDPS]

So that's kids in the state program as opposed to NGA qualifiers for that specific region/club?

Yeah pretty much, it’s mostly an extended version of the AIS academy we used to have

 

[philthy05]

Wait, are brand and eyres NGA for Essendon or just in the hub and not eligible?

 

[eDPS]

Wait, are brand and eyres NGA for Essendon or just in the hub and not eligible?

Both, being in the HUB makes no difference to being eligible to clubs.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

When you look at the prospects,

I’ve read it heaps, but because I haven’t used it, it just didn’t click.

But a lot doesn’t click for me, so others probably got it.

The H threw me off too.

 

[briztoon]

Hey eDPS would you happen to have the 2018 AA team from the U16 Championships.

As well as the squads, and any links to Draft Central scouting reports, and other media.

Gee that’s a lot that might take me some time to get together tomorrow.

Im conflicted as if I get a lot of this stuff out I can’t hog a lot of info not many others can easily get

It's the third result on Google.

That’s cool. No rush.

I’m tired, and going to bed.
