List Mgmt. Geelong's Next Generation Academy

[Max Milburn]

I know they all have one thing in common.
Surnames as Christian names

Could've been worse. Koopa, Darcee, Phlinn.

Geelong: Cooper Stephens, Darcy Chirgwin, Flynn Perez

Anybody know much about these 3 guys who are training with us for a look at next year's draft? Or are they academy players?

None are tied to Geelong.

Stephens is a jet and likely to go top 10 next year.

I mentioned it two years ago that the Falcons rated him highly and he wasn't yet playing for them.

There was another Cooper Stephens who played for the Falcons at the time.

Flynn Perez is Nakia's cousin and plays for the Pioneers but I don't know anything much about how good he is.

He's never been to any of our family get togethers.

You are a very funny man

I'm excited that we have a NGA draftee on our list right now.

The best colac player since Hodge...?

I wonder when will we know which players who are on the list next year we can look at.

I did say since Hodge ... post 2001

I agree and enormous an unrealised talent.. one of the best talents that just it just didn't happen for..

You did too.
Have you ever been to Alvie? Quite an amazing little township with lots of geographical interest. I used to run there when living in Colac. Loved it. Somebody said my running would go awry in Colac but the opposite happened.
Not too many players hail from Colac/Alvie though. We need to be able to claim them, I reckon.

I'd say yes.

 

[Turbocat]

I'd say yes.

A big call ..good luck to him ....lets hope he doesn't end up in yellow and brown

Great spot. I ride around that area when visiting the in laws. Nice little climb up to Red Rock which gives you a nice view over Lake Corangamite.

Follow him closely next year. I reckon he'll inch his way up to the top 5 by the end of the year.

Flynn Perez has just done his knee and will miss the entire 2019 season.

Well that sucks.

Interesting that our relatively exclusive time with him will be some of his last work before the injury. I wonder if we'd look at him as a possible bargain rookie pick or not...

Here's the related article if you haven't read it.

It says there he has two years in the TAC cup so there's still plenty of time.

Edit: Forgot it was still 2018 for a second

I think one of those years is 2019 (his draft year) and then 2020 is the overage year, so in the TAC as a 19 year old.

Maybe due to genetics

Maybe.
But DEFINITELY due to football.

Sounding like a Wells "special"

Looks lively for a 15 year old, saw this on the Cat's Facebook page yesterday... Gee alot of people will have trouble calling his name... Maybe just nickname him DJ.

Kid looks a handy talent. Would be nice to have an academy kid that is rated higher than a rookie shot. 50/50 they change the zones again and this kid ends up at gold coast though
