Some of the best kids have just come back from the States or some place overseas.

Why did they go there?

My understanding is that the tour is made of lads who are recognised as development worthy and it is also about exposing them to the 'world' and the hosts to the sport.

What's it got to do with you probably a trip of a life time for the kids.

I have no doubt it would be great for the kids PN I just wonder why it has to be during the football season and not in the 6 months of the bloody off season?

I don't really know what happens on these trips, they are there for a reason but then again I'm not the one whinging about it, it's got **** all to do with you what these kids do, they only get one chance to be drafted so they do everything they can even if it means going over seas., it's not about you mate.

PN you are so wrong Alpha Centauri is closer. We do have an involvement: we support our WAFL clubs and that includes the Colts' team.

Grassy wrote: So Peter,what do you reckon?

Should the AFL have ownership of these kids before they get drafted?

The WAFL Clubs and SANFL Clubs see them less and less before they get drafted?

Is that how it works now?You are happy with that arrangement?

I would say the priority for these kids would be to get drafted, their future at WAFL clubs would be a distant second if you were to ask them that is.
