Why has our Next Gen Academy been handed back to the AFL?

why is this so quiet? Bulldogs get a No 1 pick free hit, and we don’t even bother? Am I missing something?

Aren't the proposed changes coming after the 2020 draft?

I’ve got no idea, maybe it is changing for every club, but I’d only read that Carlton was handing it back

I'm pretty sure the whole thing is changing, for every club. But I haven't seen anything about Carlton handing it back so you could be right.

Where did you read that?

I’m not quite sure how to link parts of articles but there is the link, it’s at the end of the part about Eddie and his future

Hawthorn’s Shaun Burgoyne has just signed a one-year deal that will see him transition into working on indigenous programs for the Hawks in a long-term role.

The AFL has just taken Carlton’s next generation academy into the league’s own control again, which puts some of the Blues’ specific indigenous programs for the NGA program up in the air.

That works on the assumption that our NGA worked effectively enough to find any zippy little Koori kids!

Go to any NFNL juniors game feat. the sides closer to the city, West Preston, North Heidelberg, etc you can't miss them. Our catchment area is Melbourne's Koori heartland. Only we'd be dumb enough not to take advantage,

Live out of state, just never see Carlton and NGA in the same sentence.

We made zero effort to push for more territory with the academy, and we didn't use what we did have well. Glaring mark against out development coaching, though that has obviously changed this season personnel wise.

I'm just happy to see the program torn down for its name alone, but it's disappointing to not see some investment in marginalised sections of the community.

I have been told we do have some tied to us. One in particular head and shoulders above the rest. Just got to hope that the interest levels being away from the game/elite Program - for a year -have not diminished.
 
I saw this article on Liam Kolar being a draft bolter. Indigenous, was playing soccer 18 months ago, Northern Knights. Wouldn't he have been eligible for us?

Is he indigenous? I don't think it says that anywhere. Also not sure what the AFL's rules are on the level of soccer/basketball required, as diamond valley really isn't remotely high level, it's a community club.....don't think that's anything different from other players playing basketball locally
