GC17 Draft Concession - 9 of the first 15 picks in 2010

[TheFridge]

From the AFL website:

GOLD COAST will get nine of the top 15 selections in the 2010 NAB AFL Draft, the AFL announced on Thursday.

The 17th AFL team will have picks one, two, three, five, seven, nine, 11, 13 and 15 in the 2010 NAB AFL Draft.

The south-east Queensland club will also have the first selection in each round of the 2010 draft.

Gold Coast will also enter the competition with a list of 48 senior players, nine rookies and with an extra $1 million total player payments extra allowance in 2010.

By 2015 its list will be back to 38 players and nine rookies, in line with other AFL clubs.

The club has already signed five youngsters and in the 2009 NAB AFL Draft it will have the capacity to sign a dozen 17-year-olds born in January-April 1992.

At the end of 2010, Gold Coast will also be able to pre-list 10 players who had previously nominated for the AFL Draft, or were previously listed with an AFL club, and will be permitted to sign up to 16 uncontracted players.

Any club that loses a player to the expansion side will be eligible for a compensation pick after the entry of both GC17 and the second club to be based in Sydney. Compensation picks will be tradeable and can be used by clubs at any time within five years.

First round compensation picks cannot be used until the end of the first round in the 2010 and 2011 drafts. Clubs will be required to nominate the year in which they plan to use the compensation pick before the first round of the premiership season in that particular year.

AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou said the working group on list development for the Gold Coast team had two broad objectives, "That GC17 should be able to assemble a competitive list on its entry to the competition in 2011, coupled with minimising the downside and making available trade and draft opportunities to the existing 16 AFL clubs."

Demetriou said the AFL Commission wanted to achieve a balance between GC17 having enough mature players on entry to the competition to be competitive but not trading away its access to future talent.

"There was a comprehensive examination of the entry lists and early performances of each of the recent new clubs to the competition – West Coast, Brisbane Bears, Adelaide, Fremantle and Port Adelaide," he said.

"There is a clear trend in AFL football that first-year players are now playing fewer AFL games and that the physical gap between players entering the system and those players already at AFL clubs has never been greater.

"It is the consensus view of AFL clubs across the competition that it takes three to four years of development for most players to adapt to AFL level and that the successful composition of a strong club list can take five to eight years.

"The rules for GC17 had to reflect both the capacity for the club to have access to older players in its initial entry and access to talent to develop a long-term competitive group," he said.

Gold Coast will also have selections one to five in the 2009 AFL Rookie draft.

Ouch - the value of this years draft picks just went up a little....

[ausfatcat]

anyone know the formula for the compensation for players listed at clubs?

 

[nut]

so next rears draft appart from the best twelve 17 year olds will be as normal.

First round compensation picks cannot be used until the end of the first round in the 2010 and 2011 drafts. Clubs will be required to nominate the year in which they plan to use the compensation pick before the first round of the premiership season in that particular year.

does that explain it?

Not sure when the pick would be

 

[ausfatcat]

Channel ten said the formula would be based on age, contract and where they stand in the clubs rankings, just hoping/wondering if anyone knows the exact formula?

 

[bodazoka]

I love the "eyes popping out of head" photo they always use of McKenna

 

[rgauci]

1. 2009 NAB AFL Draft:

GC17 to have the capacity to sign 12 x 17 year-olds born in the January – April window (Jan-April 1992).

Thats the scary bit. How does that age group fit in with the kids that normally nominate. 12 kids in a 3 month period could translate to 1/4 of the best 50 kids in the nation. Which is essentially more than they are getting in the 2010 draft.

EDIT: just realised they are bottom aged. Basically rooting the 2010 draft even more.

 

[Cuzz09]

We picked a good year to be at our very worst!

*not that its a guarantee of success in the future but you dont wanna be down there in 2010*

 

[Del Piero]

Is next years draft still normal then ?

 

[HBF]

Is next years draft still normal then ?

Yes it is.
You wouldn't want to be just coming into a rebuilding stage.

 

[dont bowl there]

Wow I can only imagine what would have been if Fremantle got even half the start up help this Gold Coast team is getting.

 

[devil demon]

Just a question, what happens to priority draft picks？Ｗｉｌｌ　ｔｈｅ　ＡＦＬ　ｇｅｔ　ｒｉｄ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅｍ　ｂｙ　ｔｈｅｎ？

 

[Philhawk]

Just a question, what happens to priority draft picks??????????????????????????????????????

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

In all seriousness, Melbourne could actually just avoid bottoming out at the wrong time.

Watts this year, Picks 1 and the priority pick next year and they should be alright.

 

[estibador]

Wow I can only imagine what would have been if Fremantle got even half the start up help this Gold Coast team is getting.

Love the way the compensation picks are taken at the end of the 1st round to protect the value of GC's early picks. For us clubs got to take them before we had our picks - so it screwed us out of all the best kids.

Thanks AFL, you bunch of *****.

 

[fevolation87]

wow, lucky we tanked last year. You would hate to be in the bottom four next year. Question what will happen if Eagles or Dees win less than four games next year. Will they still get a Priority Pick and what number pick would it be ?

 

[Silvagnis]

Any club that loses a player to the expansion side will be eligible for a compensation pick after the entry of both GC17 and the second club to be based in Sydney.

First round compensation picks cannot be used until the end of the first round in the 2010 and 2011 drafts.

This ranking system will then determine if a club is eligible for a compensatory pick in one of five spots -- first round pick, end of first round pick, second round pick, end of second round pick or third round pick. Under the model, the round one, round two or round three picks would be taken immediately after the pick the club already has in that round in the draft that year.

That's confusing.

Does this mean if we lose a player such as Hampson for example to the Gold Coast, we will receive just one draft pick after the first round?

And we will get it after the second Sydney team enters the AFL?

Thanks, but we need that player/ruckman now and not at the end of 2011.

A first round pick for a player another club has developed isn't fair compensation if he becomes one of your best players.

That might be below the player's market value when you receive a compensation pick straight after your first or second draft pick.

The AFL don't give a stuff about the existing clubs that will lose players to the Gold Coast.

Pathetic.

Hampson has re-signed for three years, but that example shows existing clubs will get ripped in more ways than one with the draft changes.

And the AFL are trying to tell us the draft isn't compromised when there won't be any 17 years old in the 2009 draft and the GC get the first five picks in the 2009 rookie draft.

****ers.

"We think it's important that all of the 16 clubs and GC17, if they're successful in October, have significant lead time. The next two years' drafts are largely uncompromised, with the exception of, in particular, Queensland and NT" - the Queensland talent AFL national and international development general manager David Matthews .

They're treating us like idiots.

 

[sabre_ac]

Any comparison to freo's concessions when they joined?

Thanks AFL, you bunch of *****.

Effectively gave the advantage to the team that lost players to freo...No wonder teams were falling over themselves to "lose" players.

Hello..King,Loylld and Wirrapunda..

 

[Henry Jr]

Does anyone have the concessions that Fremantle were given when they entered the League?

Be interesting to compare the two....
