Richmond's Northern Victoria Academy watch [merged]

[Tiger Khosh]

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.

Is anyone else having problems with opening pages on this website ?

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.

Tanner Armstrong

Midfielder/Defender | 176cm | Murray Bushrangers/Vic Country

A tough, ball-winning midfielder, Armstrong brings some run, good pressure, clean hands and is a groundball specialist.

In one game in the Coates Talent League in late August, Armstrong collected a whopping 18 groundball gets and 11 clearances among 32 disposals for the day.

He also finished as the equal-leading disposal winner on the ground with 25 touches for Team Boak in the under-17 Futures game in September.

An All-Australian at under-16 level in 2024, Armstrong has been used as a rebounding defender at times in addition to midfield roles.

A boarder at Scotch College, he is part of Richmond’s Next Generation Academy due to his Indigenous heritage.
