List Mgmt. NGA, Father son watch

[Banrock]

Players eligible for the Adelaide Crows under the AFL's Next Generation Academy (NGA) and Father-Son programs—and who will reach draft age by 2028—are identified through the club's elite talent squads and junior academy lists. [1, 2]
Specific prospects tied to the club's long-term academy pathways include:

• Gabriel Patterson: An AFL Academy member who is tied to the club as a Second Generation prospect (son of former Magpie Stephen Patterson), eligible for the 2026/2027 drafts.
• Anthony Long: An NGA Academy prospect (First Nations/multicultural background) participating in the club's top-tier Elite Talent Squads.
• Next Gen Squad Members: Players like Mitchell Semmler (Central District), Chace Warren (North Adelaide), and Xavier Dempsey (Central District), who regularly feature in under-14 and under-16 NGA matches, are part of the talent pool tracking toward the 2028 draft class. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Hang on, is Patterson tied to us? As in we can match any bids? Huge if true, he's an absolute jet.

This post appears to be an AI search result, not from any actual articles listing players tied to Adelaide.

Is Patterson the mystery player?

His father Stephen played 96 games for Collingwood. No way if he was eligible for us it would be known well before now given he's been highly rated right through his junior pathway

I thought he played a lot more footy than 96 games.

[TheLeftFist8]

Too good to be true

 

[fossilllCrow]

Plugga, if this mystery player is cleared would we be guarenteeed to take him he’s that good?

 

[MarcusP2]

His sister is at Collingwood

He's also a huge Collingwood fan.

 

[Velvet George]

He’s not in our academy, he’s in the afl academy and spent a week training with us

Played 66 at Norwood as well

 

[Cromulant]

Played 66 at Norwood as well

No one cares

 

[crows dude]

No one cares

LOL

Just pointing out that hes close to 200 games of League footy so had been around a while hence why it seems like he would have played more than 96 games at AFL. Geez

This whole mystery player thing has been quite the tease. Staring to think there is a bit of troll about it.

He's often just simply referred to as Plugger

His daughter plays for Collingwood in AFLW

Not sure why we would have access to his son though

Simple answer....we don't

 

[FR0GGY]

So what exactly do we do with our NGA’s?
Do we train them?
Are they at the club?
