Richmond Academy zone prospect

[taztiger4]

We now have the same access to players from our Academy - ie same bidding rules as northern clubs. Difference is we have a smaller pool of player in our Academy as we're restricted to indigenous and multicultural boys. For 2016 we could only draft them if they went undrafted through the national and rookie drafts - last year guys from our Academy went at picks 12, 43 and 50 but we couldn't get them

ah, ok I get your point now & you are totally correct

ISN,T it also for under privillaged kids whom can also be drafted,no matter where their born,as long as we are basically the reason they are playing.

Little bit about the boys on the Tiger web page.

So had the rules for academy player draft eligibility as of now been in place for the 2016 draft we could have bid for both Rutagolea and Kirby?

Sounds alright if so.

Thanks, Taz. He might have had a few CCs. Lucky bastard.

Simpkin is the one that hurts. Watched him closely tonight and think he will become very special. Reads the play very well. Seems to have time with the ball in hand and wonderful in heavy traffic.

 

[Mr Brightside]

My North mates are lovin Simpkin and the fact we could have had him if he was 12 months older.

Does anybody know if that was Dang that played for the VFL side on Friday ?

[taztiger4]

Thanks mate, how's he look

he didnt do a lot, only palyed 2nd half though

he was pretty highly regarded pre draft

Kaelen Walker is a prospect. Just turned 17 his knees are being rested this year next year is his draft year

 

[Tigermad2005]

Which kids have been playing in the TAC cup?

 

[frickenel]

There was an Aboriginal kid who came down to Tooleybuc last season, played i think 7 games and kicked 66 goals, then headed back because he didn't like the colder weather.

My family background is from the region, and a cousin was winning every award going at the footy carnivals across the country last year.

He's now with the Bendigo Pioneers TAC U/16's side and going very well.

He's a Richmond fan, like the rest of us, but extremely short. Hell of a goer though. (Lucas Caccaviello)

Thanks for the info Frick, makes for a good read.

If you haven't already, zap it through to the recruiting team at the RFC.

Talking up Maurice jnr tonight on 3aw. Said he's 15 and talk of him being best rioli yet.

Also said he can choose freo as well as us, thats why we need to get him down here soon. Daniel came down when he was 14, hopefully next year for Maurice jnr. Richo was on the show but was staying tight lipped.

Also caught the tail end of them talking about Dan's contract extension, pretty much a done deal.
