2015 academy discussion thread (with some FS thrown in for good measure)

He's shiny with no real substance?
Looks solid but nothing inside?
Made in Taiwan?
He's decorative but essentially useless?

Sounds like a pretty good description of Eddy to me!

On the ABC's PM news program tonight they were talking about the success of the Australian caravan and RV manufacturers. They then cut to the next interview - "To talk about the success of this industry we talk to businessman EDDIE MCGUIRE..... " And on he came, the expert on everything.

(Someone once told me that an expert was - "Ex means has-been and spert is a drip under pressure")

Only time eddie could be called decorative is Halloween

Thread now re-opened for discussion about the academies.

Those posts discussing the commission and Michael Long's potential appointment have been moved to a separate thread on the General AFL discussion forum. Any post that contained a spat at another poster didn't make it to that thread.

I noted that the Swans acadamy were playing the Lions acadamy before the Nab cup game.
Any clues on team lists or results?

Wow, that was a good result for the Swans. Eddie won't be happy though.

Obviously Mills didn't play?

I'm with James Hird.."I don't care what Eddie thinks".
My last word on McGuire.

I laughed when I saw the end of that press conference.

I think Mills should have an "injury" for most of the year. Just like Heeney did during the draft combine.

Yes! and a drug habit, social problems and behavioral issues.

No, then Bombers or Saints will pounce on him!

And lots of the arm tatts that allowed Membs to slip to us ... oh wait, Saints & the Pies are all for them

I agree. Normally I would like to take the moral high ground but stuff the AFL. If they want to play dirty and paint us into a corner then so be it. We'll play it their way.
