2019 Swans academy and U18 discussion

[mcs]

Some preliminary leaks about changes to the NGA system have just appeared on the AFL website. At a quick glance it appears to give even more access to players under the NGA banner including the possible inclusion of Darwin for yet to be determined clubs.

Have to wait and see what the final report looks like ....

The zones continue to expand by the sounds of it...

Luke Power gave them a rap on SEN during the week.

I loved the quotes;
"Up until then, Campbell said, he had not been aware of the game". And
"Campbell said he would "probably not" be playing the game if not for the Swans academy".
Excellent justification for our academy.

Quite a measured article.

Interesting that Gulden is seen where he is. From his game the other day he certainly gets a lot of the ball, he is defensively strong and quite fearless BUT at times his disposal left a lot to be desired and his options were not always the best options. In saying that I thought he was still very good considering he is an underager.

Campbell on the other hand , was less involved in the game but has exquisite disposal , a raking kick and he is hard at it defensively and when he is involved he does impact the game.

If the article is any indication , Swans may easily, if they choose , get both players considering Gulden is considered a later pick.
