Why was he in the JHA? I’m confused. I thought that was for relatives of former Essendon layers only?

Bricklayers?
The answer is our Next Generation Academy… whatever that is.
We are getting so good at this, players don’t even have to train with us to get there.

Our Next Generation Academy players are included in the JHA, for a window of time, he was in our zone. And we swooped.
Does anyone know if Chris Johnson is favourable toward this move by us? Surely he would have mixed feelings?

Anyone got insight into whether this was a planned move, or if it was a fark you for matching our bid for Coleman.

Definitely the former
Also could have been bidding on Coleman to force Lions to use up their points and in the end have no picks left to get Johnson late
Richmond also took two of their academy players after that too

I wonder if we would have taken Prior if the Lions didn’t grab him at 59?

are victorian clubs academies like the interstate ones where you have first right of refusal, if you have the pics or points or however this ■■■■ works ?
disregarding the father/son pics obviously.
Well you have to nominate them, which we didn’t in Lachlan’s case. But essentially yeah.
Really excited about this pick.

So he tore the ACL in June, … so why did I read he was going straight to the LTI list for the WHOLE Season?
Was that in error? He could be ready to play again mid season, … were there complications or something?
