Get around Amir Cooper - mainly coz he's making me leave work early to watch him lol

(Also hope he plays good too)

Hope Amir plays well..

 

[hoss]

Farmer and Motlop are part of our 2003 born group, so they won't be there

Notable names that could play (I have no idea if there are team sheets available

Chase Bourne
Jasper Scaife
Dallas McAdam
Conrad Williams
Israel Hailiyamutu
Prince Pommett
Joshua Draper
Nasman Donovan

Bourne/Draper/Scaife were all included in the WA 2004 born team I believe. Draper is a ruckman, Bourne is a small midfielder and Scaife is a tall forward. Dallas McAdam is the brother of Shane McAdam I believe and plays as a small forward

Three you mentioned in WA team the ones to watch. Of those you mentioned all should be playing except Donovan and McAdam. A Carr boy playing as well.... Matt's son I think

How much you want to bet priority access to NGA will stop the year before Scaife is a top 10 KPF prospect?

 

[freoextra]

Pllllllleeeeeeease let us keep NGA until we at least get Prince Pommett!!!!!!

Sight unseen but I will burn my membership if we don't sign him up for his name alone!

Think the rule is changing to bid matching for academy players only applies after the first round. Not sure when it comes into play though.
Be typical, we get shafted by a rule change all over again (like the changes to father/son qualification)

Is there a list anywhere?

 

[Tundrawolf]

I have heard that 2004 born kids should not be affected by any NGA change, that is unofficial at this stage.

Would that include all the above names?

 

[Tundrawolf]

Would that include all the above names?

I'm not aware of the specifics (players birth years), but have heard that includes the entire 2004 calendar year.

It would be most appropriate for players already in the system to continue as is, where new entrants are on the new system

That would make Bartlett (?) touch and go given he was added this year maybe?

Richard has been in th program this year already, I'd expect him to count as already being in

Didn't he get added after the talk of changes though?

 

[mightymouse75]

Can't change it for kids already in the system. It would be most unfair. But could they ,?

They definitely could and if the whim strikes them...

Our 2004 born NGA boys, including a few involved with the State 16's are playing against West Coast this Friday. Game is at Lathlain Park, commencing at 2.30pm for anyone interested or nearby at the time.

Freo won this game pretty easily (by 7-8 goals). Really even team effort. No one particularly stood out but they seemed much faster and better drilled than their bigger and taller opposition. One of the best players was Tim Kelly's little bro, playing for the Eagles after showing up to the Freo Next Gen training just a few weeks ago. Quick transfer process there!

The 2005/06 boys play this Saturday against the Naitanui Academy. 9.45am bouncedown at Leederville Oval. Return match will be at Cockburn on Friday 6 Nov, time TBC.

You mentioned there was a Carr playing before, did he do much?

How did little Hoss go?

Like I said, no one really stood out. At this game last year Josh Draper was outstanding. Norman Yarran was exciting for us though, playing out of a forward pocket.

Thanks for asking Taylor. Little Hoss will play this week with the 05's although he has been training with the 04's. Let's hope he has a good game Saturday. Should be a few scouts around given his game is followed by the second u/18 All Stars game.

Are you worried that if he becomes too good and they change the academy system that you may have to support a different team?

 

[hoss]

I'm actually worried that he loses interest. We've never pushed him at all but he seems to have more distractions now as a 15 year old, just when it's probably time to focus and get serious.

This was a bad year for him. Nothing happened with his SFFC development squad and he was selected in the State All Nations academy in March but that was canned too. All in the year he started getting interested in socialising and girls.

Will always be a Freo member though, regardless of where he might end up. He will only be completely disowned if he ends up wearing blue and yella.

Likely to be no matching of bids in the first to second round
