Welcome to Collingwood: Our new Barkly Brothers and Sisters

I spent a night in Elliott, was a real eye opener.

Less said the better but wow!

That explains the back injury.

Saw Liam play yesterday on nitv
Looked very lively and understands space , clean below the knees , poised and great skills on a very very wet deck
Very light though
Unfortunately carried off knee or ankle

Plenty of photos from senior footy in the Barkly on the AFL Barkly page. A few good young guns featuring this year. https://m.facebook.com/AFLBarkly/photos/?ref=page_internal&mt_nav=1

I wonder if we could band together as an online community and throw some coaching and other football resources into this community. I know we sponsor players and that money problem goes into the football department, but could we do something independent of that.

Hello?
Supremely talented players with flair required!!!

Has anyone heard anything from the club about this lately? I'm concerned this has stalled. In my experience starting something in communities with no follow through can do more harm than good.

I appreciate we're in a pandemic but there should be ways to work through that. The borders are open between NT and Victoria. Some contact would be good to see, perhaps club reps and our rehab group.

Most recent update I could see.

Great that the club has maintained contact with the region, even if only remotely.

So the only eligible Barkly zone player from our NGA for 2018 draft is Liam Holt Fitz?
Assuming Green is not NGA.

This chap seemed to be quite well regarded as a prospect a few years back. It's interesting to see he's now with Werribee: The Fresh Faces of 2021. (werribeefc.com.au)

For our indigenous players Aiden... - Werribee Football Club (facebook.com)

He has starred for Nightcliff in the NT League in recent seasons. I wonder if we showed any interest in getting him to play for our VFL side? It does look as if he's not getting a game for Werribee, and is playing regularly for Yarraville Seddon (11 games 13 goals): Player statistics for Liam Holt-Fitz - GameDay (sportstg.com)
