Re: Hickey, Bruce and Hind
Heard on the TV that Sydney has put over 2400 kids through their development academy!!!
That’s a huge effort and massive for football in NSW
Only a dozen or so have graduated to play Senior AFL footy
Such a huge investment in the code up there deserves its rewards.
Also
How many of the senior AFL players are from Albury? I don’t think many... if any??

Jake is still with thesaints and getting a game while Bruce the goose was given the flick.Joffa Burns wrote: ↑Fri 09 Apr 2021 6:30pmWho said Bruce was A grade?
He’s been a solid C - B grader for many seasons.
Carslile can’t get a game In rounds 1 & 2 with no Ryder or Marshall, while Bruce is picked in a currently far better team than ours. Ratten preferred a flanker sized debutant to Carslile as a key back.
At their best, perhaps Carslile. Right now Bruce over him every day of the week.

Any system that hands one club an advantage is unacceptable. Swans finish top two and get a kid rated in the top 3.

Re: Hickey, Bruce and Hind
Spot on, having lived part time in Sydney for 9 years I have seen their development program through kids we know. I remember being at national athletics meet at Homebush in 2016 and the Swans had three representatives there talking to all the gun NSW athletes.B.M wrote: ↑Fri 09 Apr 2021 7:25pm Heard on the TV that Sydney has put over 2400 kids through their development academy!!!

Same will happen with the Suns in the next 10 years, they offer academy positions to any and all gun athletes despite not playing AFL.
Lastly on the Albury comment, that is just Curly bullshitting as usual, the guy is a halfwit who believes his own bulls***. None of the academy players are from Albury in fact I think that zone is GWS.

Re: Hickey, Bruce and Hind
They still have to come up with the draft points with a 20% discount to secure that player
If we are talking Mills, he was bid on at number 3 so Sydney had to match that offer and give up their first selection and then some to secure him.

Re: Hickey, Bruce and Hind
It’s an advantage, but it’s not a free hit.
They have worked the academy hard and developed the game in a rugby state.
Now the moaners want to bitch because they’ve grabbed some good kids. WTF?
If we worked our NGA and produced some guns would anyone be complaining?
The COLA was removed and fair enough, from the academy they are reaping the reward of hard work.

Re: Hickey, Bruce and Hind
Sydney actually offered to remove themselves from the draft
Denying themselves to elite talent out of football states
To have sole access to kids they developed in NSW
It was denied because it comprised the draft too much, but that’s how much faith they have in their development academy
Good on them

Re: Hickey, Bruce and Hind
Giving up three s*** draft picks to get a gun kid is a price anyone would pay. Heeney Mills Blakey were all gained with Sydney pushing for premierships.
Oracle you arsehat I did correct myself by posting Albury is GWS zoned. Hardly a area foreign to AFL football.

Have never attended AIS as an athlete, I have family who have been and currently are at the AIS.

You said I posted they get ALL their guns from Albury. Clearly I never said that. You just made it up.
Yes as I later correct Albury is GWS zone and my point still remains.Albury and surrounding areas are AFL areas. It’s not revolutionary that these kids are making it.

Re: Hickey, Bruce and Hind
Yes I mentioned Albury as the area is a strong AFL area competing in one of the strongest comps. It’s GWS zoned not Sydney which I corrected. The point still stands.
I will write a full page apology to the Oracle or he will raise it for the next 6 months.

I wrote I was on the board of a private school for 6 years and you are so f****** dumb you think being on the board of a private school means you work there!
For the record I have great admiration for educators and administrators in the schooling system, but I have never worked within it.
Do the board members of StKilda all work at the club?
Do the board members at Listed companies all work there?
Hahaha you are the dumbest retarded c*** I’ve ever encountered
Sweet dreams Curly, I think you had a few too many head knocks in your 600 AFL senior matches.
