Anyone know anything about Oliver Greeves and whether or not he’s in our NGA for 2025?

Apparently a very highly rated 191cm midfielder with elite skills and a basketball background who plays for Eastern Ranges. Has impressed the last couple years as an underage player.

Reason I ask is I saw an IG post hyping him up and stating he’d be an AFL academy and first round lock for 2025. Lost the post to an automatic feed refresh when I jumped on Google to look him up.

Couldn’t find anything explicitly linking him to our NGA (or any academy) but as we know it’s near impossible to find that info for even current year players.

I did come across that he is from Vermont Junior FC which is Connor Downie’s junior club and obviously he was in our NGA. So if he is NGA eligible, good chance it’s with us.

Connor Downie was in academy because his mum was a chinese immigrant. Not because of his junior club. Remember NGA is not based on an area like northern academies, you need to be meet the ethnic background requirements too.

Yeah, I know that. I didn't know if Greeves had an eligible background though as I'd never heard of him before and that type of info isn't always readily available. Assuming the IG was accurate and he did meet the NGA criteria then the question was essentially is he is in our NGA zone. Being from the same junior club as a previous Hawthorn NGA player would suggest it was likely.

WHERE THE BIDS ARE SET TO COME​

Reigning premier Brisbane is set to avoid paying top dollar for father-son gun Levi Ashcroft, with Richmond looking increasingly unlikely to place a bid on the midfielder at No. 1 in this month’s national draft.

If North Melbourne keeps hold of pick 2, a bid on Ashcroft may be left to Carlton at pick 3 — saving the Lions a significant number of draft points.

Brisbane would have to stump up 2,400 points (after a 20 per cent discount) to match a bid on Ashcroft at pick 1, but a bid at pick 3 would only cost it 1787 points.

It could be the difference between heading into next year with a points deficit or not, given the Lions will also need to match a bid on Academy member Sam Marshall around pick 20.

Clubs expect two other bids to be placed on Academy members within the top-10 selections on draft night, with St Kilda favoured to bid on Gold Coast Suns Academy member Leo Lombard with one of its first two selections.

The Saints (picks 7 and 8) and Melbourne (pick 9) have also been linked to placing an early bid on Essendon Next Generation Academy (NGA) member Isaac Kako.

Carlton will be sweating on whether a bid comes for father-son Ben Camporeale before its second selection at No. 38, with recruiters having the South Australian midfielder either just before or just after that pick on their draft boards.

Twin brother Lucas is expected to come into play later in the order.

St Kilda NGA member Adrian Cole is considered likely to attract a bid in the late 30s or early 40s, after St Kilda’s third selection which currently stands at No. 32.

Giants Academy ruckman Logan Smith is also set to come into calculations at that range, with a bid in the 30s considered a good chance.

Some clubs believe Sydney Swans Academy defender Joel Cochran could attract a bid anywhere from pick 25 onwards, with one scout saying the Swans had done “a good job of hiding him away”.

Cochran won the 2km time trial at the national draft combine last month.

Another St Kilda NGA member, defender Lennox Hofmann, is expected to receive a bid later in the draft, while Hawthorn NGA midfielder Cody Anderson is also said to have “lots of fans” from about pick 45 onwards.

Adelaide father-son prospect Tyler Welsh has attracted little interest, despite scouts recognising the marking forward’s potential.

The Crows are therefore likely to be able to secure Welsh — the son of former Adelaide goalkicker Scott — with their second and final pick in the draft, which currently sits at No. 64.

North Melbourne should be able to secure River Stevens — the son of two-time premiership player Anthony — as a rookie.

I get that there are outside considerations associated with #1, but surely North Melbourne are morally obligated to ensure the REIGNING PREMIER forks over as much draft currency as possible for Ashcroft.

And it goes without saying that Essendon should never be given a break.
