Yeah we should probably just give him a brown paper bag instead.
No just shut your mouth and be happy that you get a quality player for next to nothing. You don't have to be a dick on an Internet forum about it .....

what did schache average?
EFA.
Don't try to spin it, the academy kids are sweet deals for the northern clubs. Thanks god, Heeney and Mills were so prominent and so good. The AFL didn't like it, on top of Tippett and Franklin. If not for Heeney and Mills, the northern clubs would still be picking up academy kids with 2nd and 3rd round picks.
I'd be ticked off with the AFL for changing the system to a bidding one if I was a northern club too. In Leppo's word "the AFL has taken away an advantage of ours".

Premiership Player
We will be paying what he is worth in points and its worth noting the academies don't run themselves, it costs money paid for by the clubs. No need to be ill informed fool on an internet forum.....

You seem to have misunderstood his post. He doesn't mention the bidding system. Most of these academy kids have had five or six years of increased interaction with professional AFL coaches and other assistance that would never have happened previously. That's what Sherrinator is talking about, not just focusing on the last year where it becomes obvious that all that time, effort and money has paid dividends.
There's a pretty good chance Heeney goes on to play cricket full time if not for the Swans academy. After all, who's monitoring the Newcastle local leagues? Keays becomes probably a mid round talent at best without the academy with a high chance of washing out like Proud, Conway, Stiller, Harding or, if absolutely lucky, Dayne Beams. Hipwood another tall Qld ruck prospect that may or may not make it or gets scouted by basketball. Callum Mills probably goes to Sydney as a zone rookie - they've always been pretty good at identifying undeveloped talent in the immediate Sydney basin. Maybe any of those others give away AFL as well, since league or cricket or other sports show interest in these kind of cross-code talents.

"Privately, though, the Eagles thought the media attention both incidents received was overblown, primarily for the bustling forward's reputation as a top-three AFL draft prospect."
Yeah I bet they did after they drafted him
If you actually read my post you would realise your post was a waste of time. See Dlanod's comment.
I know you hate Brisbane but maybe take a breath first and pretend I don't have a listed club.

We bid on Heeney last year before Petracca or Brayshaw, I doubt they really give a stuff.

Hahaha who is paying the money again?
Like someone else has said, defenders always score competitively lower numbers in things like this due to a lot less input into the play that results actual goals. They also can't account for the intangibles such as leadership and character. I'd be incredibly pissed at Carlton if they suddenly did a about-face and drafted Schache instead. All the point of this thread is good for is to give hope to Brisbane or to help consolidate the prejudices of people who wish further negativity on Carlton.
Deep down he probably thinks NM need a messiah and still has grief over Carey no longer being at the club, all these years later. Anyway, He's been on about the Weitering versus Schache thing for ages, as if he has a personal investment. It's either a troll or jealousy, otherwise he'd have shut up by now.
It's nice that the teams invest so much time and money into the academies so guy who would be lost to the game stay involved.
I don't see Collingwood doing to much to help out with the development of AFL across the country
So called draft tampering works the other way you realise. The players have to reasonably be worth that pick otherwise you might get stuck with them.
Why don't you guys just ignore the salary cap or have a VISY contract ready for the next superstar you want to sign!!
Well it's certainly not Melbourne is it?? All these arguments about the northern clubs fail to realise that without them your precious Demons would probably cease to exist as the TV money would probably half.

You're kidding aren't you? Please tell me that's a joke. Your club is doing it because of what benefits you get from it at the draft table and if Collingwood were allowed by the AFL to have a similar academy, they would pour so much more money into it (thus doing more to develop the game) than you do it wouldn't be funny!
It's good that you understand that rules can be followed as the lions did for years. Why don't you get Mick Gatto and his mates around the clubs again to show just how above board you all are
I disnt say the clubs don't get a benefit out of it, I notice Geelong, North Melb and Richmond also benefited so it's hardly a one way street.
All the carry on about academies is only now coming because players with talent are getting drafted.
Where were the complaints when no one was coming through?
I also don't see the same level of complaints about father son picks

academies are growing the game in QLD and NSW and producing a stronger NEAFL. Something the VFL supporters just don't and probably never will understand is that the Aussie Rules is not the only major code in town here... get it through your thick skulls flogs. It is beneficial for the code long term to have consistent talent coming out of the northern states... If there was no academy then there would be no way that the past few drafts would have been as deep. Allows Vic clubs to keep their talent in their state as well...
Completely agree with you. I'm not sure any recruiter has ever gone "let's check his SuperCoach point to see if he'll be a good pick up".
As a lions supporter I'm glad we got Schache but Wietering looks like a gun for Carlton.
I wonder what SOS would have averaged in SuperCoach.
