    News AFL to overhaul draft on father-sons, academy picks

    Because Fremantle and West Coast already have reduced access to academy players due to the eligibility rules.

    Footy in Western Australia

    The Norm Smith medalist is Western Australian. What is the issue?

    Club Focus Melbourne 2023

    The only Eagles player that would be any interest for Melbourne would be Jack Darling. Yes he had a bad season (but still had the same number of games/goals as Van Rooyen - but he had an injury interrupted pre-season, clearly played injured for a number of matches and was playing as a forward...

    Moved Thread For non vic fans who disdain the AFL competition

    The league has major faults which can be improved on but it is still enjoyable to watch.

    Moved Thread For non vic fans who disdain the AFL competition

    When West Coast joined the league we had priority access to Western Australian talent - all clubs in the league agreed with this and were aware of the rules. This advantage was removed. Why?

    Predicted number 1 pick reportedly tells West Coast he doesn't want to play for them

    Agreed. Since all the Victorians are so concerned about Harley being forced to move, we should get rid of the draft completely. Arguably it is against Australian employment laws anyway

    Play Nice 2023 Non AFL (or lower league) Sports Industry Discussion

    $45 wouldn’t even get you a seat to watch the worst AFL team this century

    West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

    if that happens we should fund some sucker to take the draft system to court. Burn the whole thing down.

    Recommitted Tom Barrass [OOC 2027]

    Contracted until 2027 and while we need to rebuild, you still need a foundation to build on. Do not sell unless we get offered significantly over his value

    Tasmania Tasmania Devils, welcome to the AFL. Mens team to enter 2028. Womens team TBA. Other details TBA 3/5 (Part 2)

    The AFL doesn’t particularly want a team in Tasmania. There is only a license because Tasmania pushed for it and the AFL set higher requirements than what applied for Gold Coast and GWS

    At one stage we were really close to p/r between VFL and VFA (which had p/r)

    Did Neil Balme really cost Richmond 4 million dollars?

    Worth every ******* cent

    AFL State of Origin - time to bring it back?

    Every 4 years have a small tournament - with states rotating the hosts. Sort of like a world cup.

    West Coast - time for a rebuild?

    If Harley Reid flies, the club should fund a sucker to take the draft system to court. Worked in the NRL

    Expansion 20th AFL team location

    The only push for WA3 is eastern staters wanting 20 teams

    Expansion 20th AFL team location

    The draft and salary caps already serve to prevent West Coast from getting too powerful. West Coast has won like, what 4 matches in the last 18 months?

    Tasmania Congratulations on Tassie License. Mens team to enter 2028. Womens team TBA. Other details TBA 3/5

    The federal government has already allocated money for Tasmanian health and education. If Tassie wants more - eg another hospital they need to come up with a proposal and make an application. It’s extremely dubious to pretend that the money for the stadium is money that would otherwise be...

    The Luke Jackson trade.

    I guess Freo got spooked because they didn’t want the Eagles to get him

    Can Alistair Clarkson lead North to a premiership? Or has footy gone past him?

    Then they recruited Hale, waited two years for him to get used to the club and proceeded to threepeat. He then retired and they haven't looked close since. Imagine if they drafted him in 2002?

    Tasmania Congratulations on Tassie License. Mens team to enter 2028. Womens team TBA. Other details TBA 3/5

    St Kilda were invited into the VFL solely because of the Junction Oval

    Tasmania Congratulations on Tassie License. Mens team to enter 2028. Womens team TBA. Other details TBA 3/5

    The only thing this stadium is waiting on is the Feds and whatever money the Feds spend on this stadium wasn't going to spent on hospitals and schools in Tassie.

    20 teams, 4 double up matches and a bye which means 23 matches per team. The extra round is regional/country round where every match is played at a country venue

    Expansion 3rd Western Australian club

    Only ever see eastern staters advocating for WA3

    Price of attending AFL games at Optus Stadium significantly higher than MCG as cost of living hits families

    How does Carlton implement this model when a Carlton fan can walk up and attend 6-7 "Away" games for $25 each?
