I would join in the complaining but Collingwood has Reef McInness coming through in 2020 and Dib + Daicos coming through in 2021 so I might just shut up.

Not to mention that Quaynor has several younger brothers...Quaynor last year as well, out of all Vic supporters you guys have the least to complain about
Didn't you lot change your jumper for an M&M ad?Let the AFL keep handing them concessions......these pretend clubs will never amount to anything more then the AFL’s play pen. Embarrasing.
You realise you have an academy that allows you to take players from established elite talent pathways and without eligability requirements as stringent as the Northern Academies?Let the AFL keep handing them concessions......these pretend clubs will never amount to anything more then the AFL’s play pen.

You haven’t been taking much attention to our academy have you? Jack Bowes is about the only decent player we’ve got out of it to date wanna swap?The paranoia over Sydney’s academy is amazing. Swans have taken 3 decent prospects in a decade.. it’s probably the poorest output of any of the northern academies.
Yet any sniff of a kid coming through and Vic panics..
The AFL tried running them and failed. The ability of the AFL to manage projects and finances is akin to a Labor Government. They have NFI.
So is the Melbourne clubs lack of travel, 3rd party deals available and an automatic home state, or ground in your clubs case, GF.That's completely irrelevant. Sydney having their academy is an absolute rort

But here we are.

Firstly, where did I state that I disagree with the academies in general? You won't be able to find it because I don't believe it, I'm all for GWS and GCS having one. Sydney though is just an absolute rort.

How? The Swans academy is no different to the Demons academy.
Well, no. The Demons' academy has less stringent eligibility requirements at draft time and can take players from pre-existing elite pathways.LOL, now I've heard everything. So you actually think that the two academies are exactly the same?

Yer, it's ridiculous isn't it, I'm sure Chris Johnson's son would have been lost to Australian Rules if it wasn't for the NGAs .No they aren't. NGA is just a setup to appease Victorian crying. Lions triple premiership player Chris Johnson's son is eligible to be selected by Essendon under NGA academy rules. Stop whinging.
It's also quite a coincidence that Collingwood seem to be on the receiving end of the best academy players since the system was introduced (even more so than the northern academies)? Obviously the squeakiest wheel gets the oil. Typical AFL M.O. Keep Eddie happy and all will be good.No they aren't. NGA is just a setup to appease Victorian crying.

Last I looked there was no team in Western Sydney or the Gold Coast when the Giants and Suns were formed.The only thing that doesn't make sense about it all is: Why the hell did we expand the comp into non-football regions where there was already an AFL team?
