After reading the main board thread re Sydney Academy. I thought I'd update this thread with changes to NGA bidding system. I know its been put up elsewhere as it came out last November, but I've put it in here for reference purposes.
The northern clubs have the right to, but don't need to establish NGA's like the clubs from WA, SA and Victoria do, to get access to the indigenous and multicultural kids.
The new bidding rules below do not apply to the 4 northern clubs (with one small exception for GWS mentioned below). So they can still bid on top 5, top 10, top 20 and top 40 players who go thru their club academies.
All Clubs still can bid on top 5, top 10, top 20 and top 40 for father-son players.

The AFL today met with all 18 Clubs as part of its briefing to open the AFL Trade Period which started today, Wednesday November 4.
As part of its meeting, the AFL provided an update on Next Generation Academy Concessions, the Pre-Season Supplementary Selection Period and the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
Next Generation Academy Concessions
From 2021, Next Generation Academies (NGAs) - targeting Indigenous and multicultural players - will be overseen by the AFL Talent Pathway program with support from AFL Clubs. As part of this change, the AFL Commission determined that the concession model for NGAs be revised to reflect this.
The following changes to the NGA concession model ahead of the 2021 and 2022 NAB AFL Drafts will be as follows:
A summary of changes can be found in the table below:
From what I can work out, this map from the AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - RULES 16 February 2021, Appendix 3 document shows how NSW is split up for Club Academies and NGA boundaries. at that closer to the Murray River the grey shaded council areas, GWS only get access to indigenous and multicultural kids and not the white boys, so that is the only part of NSW and Qld that the the 4 northern clubs would be affected by these NGA rule changes.
I could be wrong, but I don't understand why Brisbane, GC and Sydney would have any distinction between their club academy and an NGA, just call it a club academy and invite the indigenous and multicultural kids into them and GWS would invite the indigenous and multicultural kids in the orange councils area below into their academy, and only have an NGA for the grey councils area.
According to this AFL announcement in 2019 when the GC got a series of concessions, they get to put kids in the Darwin zone into an academy and not an NGA.

It will also get Darwin as part of its expanded Academy access zone, while it will be able to pre-list players out of that region without the AFL's normal bidding processes.
From the AFL rules document mentioned above;
14. Club Academies
14.1 Club Academies
Each of the Brisbane Lions, Sydney Swans, Gold Coast Suns and Greater Western Sydney Giants shall establish an Australian football academy to develop junior talent within its Club Academy Region (Club Academy).
15. Next Generation Academies
15.1 Next Generation Academies
Each Club may establish an Australian football academy to develop junior talent within its NGA Region (Next Generation Academy).

The following changes to the NGA concession model ahead of the 2021 and 2022 NAB AFL Drafts will be as follows:
- From 2021, nominated NGA prospects will only be eligible to be matched from Pick 21 in the NAB AFL Draft. All other players selected from Pick 41 onwards can be matched by their Club using their next available selection, while undrafted players are still eligible to pre-selected on the rookie list.
- From 2022, nominated NGA prospects will only be eligible to be matched from Pick 41 onwards by their Club using their next available selection, while undrafted players are still eligible to pre-selected on the rookie list.
A summary of changes can be found in the table below:

| 2nd Round (Pick 21 – 40) | 197 points | 197 points | No access |
