Coincidentally, I joined AFL Tasmania as a Director at virtually the same time Andrew became Chief Executive and during my seven years as Chairman of AFL Tasmania our team has worked very closely with Andrew, Gillon McLachlan and other members of the AFL executive management team. The facts speak for themselves; Andrew Demetriou has been an outstanding national leader of our game and in my opinion he has also provided exceptional support and advice to Tasmanian football through AFL Tasmania. The first time I met with Andrew he was very clear about the fact that the AFL must prioritise its development activities in Queensland and New South Wales. The growth of the game in these two northern states will ultimately be to the benefit of a traditional football state such as Tasmania.

  • Talent Developmentdevelopment R Chapter Chapter Chapte
    12 TALENTTALENT DEVELOPMENTDEVELOPMENT R CHAPTER CHAPTER CHAPTE Chapter 12 TALENT DEVELOPMENT AFL PLAYER PATHWAYS Junior and youth football are the life blood of the game. The total AFL participation pathway is illustrated below. The pathway conforms to the belief of the AFL and its state affiliates that anyone wishing to participate in Australian Football must be able to do so in a way that is appropriate to their skills, needs and aspirations. This is best achieved by providing a quality environment in which young players can sequentially develop their skills through activities, games, match rules and conditions fitting their stage of learning and ability. At the youth level the talent pathway to becoming an AFL player begins to emerge through the avenue of regional development squads which have the dual purpose of developing individual player’s abilities and preparing teams to participate in state championships at under 14 and above. Australian Football coaches who are coaching at youth level should have a good understanding of the AFL Participation and Talent Pathways. All players with whom they are working are part of those pathways and many will be dreaming of becoming AFL players. An undestanding of the workings of the pathway and the processes used to identify and develop talented players are important tools for all youth coaches. This chapter includes elements of the evaluation processes which are integral to the talent pathway and coaches may wish to use some of them, perhaps in modified forms, in their coaching programs.
