Yeah I think so, like they go over to Fiji, and Ireland, to find talent.
I think the connection basketball and football have is significant. Ramanaskas played against me in under 18s BBall and he was a freak, He also played his first gane for Endeavour Hills Eagles under 16s (which is pretty much next door to me) and kicked a lazy 11!
A great bball player stepping onto the footy field is a step ahead of just any joe blow coming to play. Bball, passing to players in space, precision shooting, transition plays, etc etc.
So i hope that they persue the path of bballers for future afl stars, cos it has been effective so far.
As for Tippett, Griffen. There great pick ups especially Tippett. adelaide have had a shocking run with ruckmen injuries, and they might be able to ditch the likes of Biglands, for a couple of kids, for ruckmen are hard top come by!
Dam Adelaide they keep on keeping on
Go Blues.
