I still don’t know how the academies work. Like outside of a player being from a region that is within your zone, what else do they have to do to qualify.

So many players come through Bendigo, i would have thought wed have had more than 1 NGA over the course of 15 years or whenever this was established.

Sorry, I've been at work all day but when I tried during my lunch break there were intermittent outages.

From 2028 we'll lose north-east Victoria to Norf and Carlton and part of the north-west to Geelong  ::)

We'll gain eastern and south-east Melbourne metro areas around the Monash Council region and Rowville, from Hawthorn.

we have the worst zone in the league so, it cannot get worse
Not disagreeing blaisee. Curiously, the changes pretty much line up with our old zones from the 70s. Also the worst in the league back then.

 I was more rolling my eyes at Geelong being gifted so much of western Victoria.
