Level 3 team. Mix of draft age kids, plus some overage 19 year olds, and bottom age 17 year olds.

Ah yes we've trained the kids well too. Right down to running out of gas in last quarters.

I went down to the game, and there was certainly some odd decision making from the young players when the game was hot. In the end, very fortunate to hold on, but they go the chocolates and are the inaugural academy series winners.

Any reports on the couple of games the Academy team has played in the Coates Talent League so far? Looks like the Northern Academies as a whole have struggled a bit so perhaps the Allies performance last year was more the exception than the rule at this stage.

Lions have lost both games by less than a kick, not sure that's 'struggling '

There are reports on the Draft board. Both GC and Lions teams have strong bottom age groups.

Sydney and GWS’s teams are a fair bit weaker.
