Our Academy Zone has been a stuffen disaster.  When you see what the likes to Lollingwood, Bullfrogs and the interstate teams are getting gifted to them we completely buggered it up.

How you blame the club is bemusing what can we do ?

AFL's 'first Mexican' wants more migration to regional areas as he shows the locals how to kick a footy

ABC South West Vic
By Daniel Miles
7 July 2021


From Mexico to the MCG, then the bush, Edgar Guerrero is trying to use his unique journey to entice other migrants to move to country Victoria.



Key points:
* There are 7.6 million migrants living in Australia according to the latest official figures
* A pilot program helping migrants move to western Victoria is being replicated along the south-west coast 
* Migrant groups say more needs to be done help families move to the country

The Mexico City native came to Australia in 2012 with his wife Liz, settling in into a comparatively subdued city life in Melbourne while working various jobs and studying at university.

A successful scholarship application saw him embedded with the Richmond Tigers during their successful AFL Premiership tilt in 2019, something Mr Guerrero said was a transformative experience.

Now, like many of the Richmond faithful, Edgar Guerrero bleeds yellow and black.

"I'm Mexican, and I don't like soccer anywhere near the way I like AFL now," Mr Guerrero said.

The Tigers' dominant Grand Final win cemented Mr Guerrero's love for Australia's national game, putting him on a new path.

"It was an unreal experience, everyone was just so happy and hugging you even if they didn't know your name because you're part of the team," he said.


Edgar Guerrero (middle) won a coaching scholarship that saw him work with the Richmond Tigers.

Mr Guerrero works for the AFL in the team's western district offices in Warrnambool, three hours south-west of Melbourne.

"I'm going to schools to promote the game [AFL], teach basic skills to kids, which is something really different" he said.

"I think it's different for the kids. I'm probably the first Mexican to teach Aussie kids how to kick a footy."

2021 Next Generation Academy players

RICHMOND

Mackenzie Cowley

https://www.afl.com.au/news/561218/2021-nga-list
Cowley has kicked 21 goals in his last 5 games playing up forward (HF/FP) for Tongala's senior side in the Murray Football League including 6 goals in his last start before lockdown paused the season.

Cowley’s six helps Tongala continue its unbeaten run

A six-goal haul from 17-year old Mackenzie Cowley over the weekend propelled the Blues to a 55-point win over Barooga, extending their unbeaten streak in the Murray Football League for the 12th straight week.

But as it did against Numurkah the previous round, Tongala pulled away with a 13-goal to five second half thanks to Cowley's six goals and two each to Talbot Varcoe and Anthony Dennis.

For those that don't remember, in 2018 Cowley at just 14 years of age won the Murray Football League's under-17 competition Best & Fairest.

Some more pics:



Tonny's teen talent ignites

Tongala’s two youngest players — Mackenzie Cowley and Harley Reid — were the inspirations behind their team’s Murray League unbeaten season streak extending into a 12th week on Saturday.

Livewire small man Cowley booted six goals in a dominating best on ground display while Reid starred in a forward/wing role as Tongala rallied in the second half to avoid what would have been a major upset against Barooga at Barooga.

The two sides were locked on 2.6 apiece at halftime but, inspired by 17-year-old Cowley and 16-year-old Reid, Tongala rallied to kick 13 second half goals to the home team’s five to run out winners by 55 points to continue its unbeaten season.
