Maurice JNR

[caesar]

He'll 100% get games throughout the season, this year is more about acclimating him and getting him settled in Vic

He was at Scotch last year so already settled.

 

[D85]

That's just what I was told. In 2019 he'll be playing in the NT, Scotch and for Oakleigh (and probably some other rep teams). Already had to deal with a few niggles from all of the travel and games

A question for those experienced with TAC footy, at 16.5 years' of age should MRJ be expecting to play games with the Charges this year or is he only there for development? He is not named in the Okleigh Charges opening game on Sunday.

I am assuming there is only the one boys team and not another under aged team that he could be eligible for?

Kids who are on footballs scholarships to the big APS schools often don't play much TAC cup - priority is school footy

 

[spook]

Yep, I don't think Cyril played a single TAC game.

Sounds like you're closer to than me, thanks.

As did Eddie Murphy

Are you Delerious ?

Good to see a couple of boys from my old high school on that list.

Btw why is APS called Associated PUBLIC schools? Wesley etc are all private schools aren't they?

They're public to anyone who can afford the bills.

Trinity amongst others are Grammer schools. Dunno the difference other than associations they compete against.

 

[tigerdell]

It's a fine name.

thanks mate, cant imagine anything else now!

MRJ played for NT V Suns u18 Academy the other day.

He was fairly quiet but laid 10 tackles

I went and watched MJR play on Sunday vs the Tassie Devils but didn't post as there wasn't much to get excited about

APS has a mix of Grammar schools and Catholic schools.

Pretty sure AGS is just Grammar schools as ACC is just Catholic/Christian schools.

The whole notion of APS schools being called "public" schools is a complete misnomer. They are anything but public. I suppose it relates back to some old British tradition.

Probably the easiest way to explain it is by the fees. If the fees are not at least 20K per year (most would be closer to $30K) then the school is not in the APS. The majority of them are Protestant based schools except for Xavier and St. Kevins which are the 2 highest fee Catholic boys schools in Melbourne.

AGS is very similar to APS in that they are also high fee Protestant schools except for Marcellin and Assumption which are mid level fee Catholic schools.

ACC is Catholic schools only (Associated Catholic Colleges) and fees are considerably less than APS or AGS schools; generally under 10K per year.

Correct, as did Marc Murphy.

Plenty of non-APS schools charging fees >>$25k. St Michael’s, mount scopus - and of course plenty of girls’ schools. Trinity is AGS and $30k+

True. I was only making the point that all APS schools have extremely high fees; that's not to say that other non-APS schools don't charge extremely high fees.

How do you explain 10% of them being Lachlan?

mate, I coached juniors in the inner east of Melbourne and 8 of the starting 18 were called Lachlan
