Re: Gold Coast Suns - Scott Clayton

They had the suburban zones mapped out when they released the country zones. I can remember seeing it in the Herald Sun.

Yeah but aren't the metro areas for the multi-cultural kids? That's how it is structured over here anyway.

It is not just about picking the right guys for the team, surely the coaching and development plays an important role as well.

Yes I agree. That is very important.

All kids and you get to bid for two a year was how I understood it. In return the club helps out with development and support. I could be wrong.

Nah pretty sure the academies everywhere other than QLD and NSW are for kids with a foreign background or indigenous kids.

Yeah that was my understanding.
Am i wrong to assume that the AFEL will be covering a fair chunk of the costs involved in the acadamies? If that's the case, from the outside looking in it would seem we could be one of the bigger beneficiaries of of this situation given the number of new Austalians in the western suburbs, i do realise we don't get the whole western suburbs but we certainly wouldn't be lacking in numbers of potential players to develop and convert to Aussie Rules.
