The GWS GIANTS are disappointed to have been informed that Todd Marshall is no longer registered as a GWS Academy player. 

We have been informed by the AFL that this decision relates to a registration issue however it in no way calls into question the GIANTS' Academy processes and procedures in relation to Todd. 

The club is incredibly proud of what the GIANTS Academy has been able to achieve in a very short period of time. The Academy employs three full time staff, 50 part time staff in coaching, strength and conditioning and medical support, all of whom spend considerable time working with talented young athletes in NSW and the ACT with the end result being the development of 650 young footballers across 12 regional centres. 

The Academy does a vitally important job in attracting and developing young talent in New South Wales, as evidenced by the significant increase in talent coming from the associated regions since the establishment of the GIANTS' Academy. 

We are proud to be growing the game's talent pool and increasing the number of people playing, coaching, umpiring, volunteering and watching our game at every level in NSW and the ACT.
