Wheres our Academy??

[tigertim]

our academy is proving to be as good as this one:

 

[taraba]

The only players of note to come out of our academy zone have been Esava Ratugolea and Jai Simpkin but they had a rule that the players couldn’t be picked from those zones in the first year of its inception so we missed out.

How convenient.

Wasn’t Balme working in that domain.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Some excellent points zippadeedooda

One that I would highlight as a big bugbear of mine is compo picks. North should get zero this year. They have more first round draft picks already than we have had in a decade and we have 3 flags. No compo for north please !!!

How much compensation did we get for rebuilding during compromised drafts when the giants and suns came in ? Zero, nothing !!

Compensation picks are a nonsense, run your club properly and you will rise up the ladder. We didn’t win flags because of special treatment, we won them when we got our *smile* together as a club

Thank you for your support

Does every club have access to Academy kids. Because i haven't seen or heard of any on our radar.
The draft should never be tampered with. Apprantly pick 5 this year could end up becoming pick 8 or 9.
What has Gilligan done to our game??
Brisbane, Sydney and Gold Coast shouldn't have access to the draft due to the other 15 clubs having no access to the kids in there academy's.
Why hasn't WC got an academy?
The Crows?
Why and how do Ugle Hagan and Quaynoor ended up at Footscary & Collingwood?
The only thing that should stay is Fs.
If you dad or mum has played more then 75 games, the club has the right to select you 1st.
No more compo picks.
You lose a player, tough titties
You can match the offer and trade.

Agree. It's skewed to make an impact in rugby states.
Completely unfair.

Father Son should be 50 games imo.

Look at Miller could be at Richmond for 10 years by the time he gets 50 games up he'll be owed long service!!

Agree. The clubs need to make a stand.
Anderson would be at hawthorn
Holland's at Richmond
Brown at Geelong
Ramankas at Collingwood

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

Just another thing Richmond get bent over on.

Add Jarman Impey to that list

It was 50 games for a while there, and I think it will be for Mother Son in the future.

There was a book written many years ago the tile of which was sums up our academy zone. "We of The Never Never" Basically, we've never had a good player from it & we never will.

And if there is a gun academy player even a promising academy player any club can take that player before pick 39 ,we have no.right at all to match.

Also bulldogs took jamara ugle Hagen at pick 1,a bulldogs academy player but afl communists changed the rules.

I think that’s part of why they changed the rules.

Mohammed Yassine part of the Houli Academy do we get first dibs on him?

Our academy is so bad, it doesn't even have Steve Guttenberg in it.

Hollands dad played 8 games for the Tiges Zips … that’s taking father son to a new level !!
Can’t wait for Nick Jewell’s kids to come along

Don't know what happened but we ballsed up our academy zone (which are rorts anyway). We've never nailed the Irish experiment either. I guess we don't get everything right.

 

[code yellow and black]

AFL only introduced academy zones because melb clubs were complaining about swans and gws getting cheap access to top junior talent. There was no method to the madness.

Pies argued Quaynor was eligible for their academy pick because his dad wasn’t born in Australia . Quaynor was playing in vic under 18’s comp like every other draftee. Think AFL may have tweaked the rules after they let that one go under the table.

Richmond will build further on the connection the Korin Gamadji Institute (KGI) has created with regional Victorian Aboriginal communities, with its Next Generation Academy Program - the Richmond Academy.

Following the launch of the Next Generation AFL Club Academies in early 2016, Richmond has focused its Academy engagement and talent identification to the Goulburn Murray, Bendigo, Sunraysia, and North Central areas of Victoria.

The region includes AFL Central, Central Murray, Goulburn Murray, North East Border, Sunraysia and Wimmera Mallee – the Murray Bushrangers and Bendigo Pioneers catchments.

The Richmond Academy will introduce the game of Australian Rules to both boys and girls, aged 5-18 years, who are from Indigenous and multicultural backgrounds, and provide pathways for coaches, umpires, and administrators.

You would think those regions would be rich pickings
