Apparently they're talking about allowing future draft picks to be traded from next year. I think it makes sense.

GWS & GC will probably own the draft for the next decade.

 

[TBOW]

So what will we target with pick 1 next year?

Wouldn't mind having a look at Schache.
We still could use another quality tall.
None of the mids really excite me on paper at least.

 

[TedDougChris]

How about a fast but soft inside mid?

What, one that charges towards a pack at high speeds, then panics as he gets close and runs away even faster ????

He sounds like some players picked by the favored local club who gets the big assistance.

Jacob Weitering?
Sam Weideman?

there are two more talls

The next draft is looking fairly strong at the top end. But Sydney get another chest full of freebees. Cannons look like the favorites for a flag next year just look at the midfield that they are going to have

MD isn't going to like Darcy MacPherson

I thought the same about other teams a year out, doesn't always pan out

and you're right, how tall is he? (D.Mac) don't think he has done anything amazing really to date

Has Tutt already nominated for next years draft in anticipation of getting cut by Carlton?

Is a good small forward. But I think we have enough small forwards at the moment.

Callum Mills and Josh Dunkley for what will likely be loose change. Yeah the academies are fair
This after getting Heeney for a late first round and Hiscox. Oh, they qualify for F/S picks also??
The Northern clubs should be funded by the AFL to run these academies for the benefit of ALL clubs. Players should be open to the highest bidder, with any successful club sitting out the next academy bidding period the following year.
Any way you look at it, Sydney in particular are at an advantage over the whole comp in this regard. No wonder the silence was deafening when they were excluded from the trade period this year.......

This was just a typical AFL over-reaction. Fix a problem you have created by creating another problem. Just advise the Swans that no new contracts, whether to existing or new players are allowed to have any COLA component. Check each new contract as it is registered with the AFL and act accordingly. Simples...

 

[BEaston]

But I suspect we need to have realistic expectations.

Most people haven't had them before, why start now....

 

[dogzrule]

We aren't in a position, right now, to have a massive crack at FA. Because of this, and because I'm not a massive fan of Rance, I think we leave the defenders for another 2 seasons. Realistically we are 2 years away from finals and 5 years away from a premiership, so we're best served growing our team from within and making sure we sign up the core group of stars so they never go anywhere. That must be our first priority.

Talia has the physique to be the gorilla backman, Roberts has the athleticism and skill set to be the Hargrave type defender - but he'd want to start putting on weight, and Murphy and Morris have 2 years each left in them IMO.

Getting Boyd will prove a master stroke and addressed our starkest problem, our inability to have someone to catch the highball in the forward line. The freedom and change he will make to the forward line will be a revolution for Dogs' supporters. Stringer and Crameri now get the rubbish defenders and although Boyd will take 4 years to be a truly dominant force, we will be a very good player even as a kid. I cannot say how happy I am we did this.

We have enough talls on the list, we really do. Do we have enough good talls I guess is the question... This year will be a very interesting one for Ayce Cordy, Fletcher Roberts, Talia, Redpath etc.

I'm concerned we will go backwards or hold ground because we've lost body strength and experience, but, I've said it before, this group of kids is going to be some team....

We will have a huge issue in 2-5 years time just retaining our list given most / all of our good or most promising players range from 18 to 23 and will fall into FA at common times. This will be twice the issue should the players association and AFL decrease the FA window. Therefore it may actually limit where we can play in the FA market in say 3 years time

They should make the academy & f/s mutually exclusive. So in the situation where you get one of each nominated before a certain pick you either chose one & miss the other, or use the nominated pick & an earlier to pick (if possible) to get both.

It would sort out this years conundrum at least.

 

[TempleKelvington]

Oh.....please do not get me started on on these northern state academy players. It's just another example of how unfair the AFL system is, to go with Collingwood and Essenedon getting ANZAC day every year. It's just charity.....but hang on the only clubs perceived to get charity are clubs like us who receive equalization money. Talk about double standards!

If there is anything that I am annoyed about, it is getting no Friday night games

if we don't get any next year, I will chuck a world class hissy fit

Yeah.....I totally get the whole ratings thing and so I understand that, I even understand why you want two well supported clubs on ANZAC day. But as a result of this, we can't grow out brand like those clubs and then to compensate us we get money from the AFL.....but everyone thinks it charity. That's what I really hate.

If anyone says to me "you get money from the AFL" I say ok, so give us ANZAC day every year, you can keep the money.

Yeah, we don't get the same level of exposure

we're starting to get in some real talented young players so I hope that we get some more better tv time soon

but I am more then happy to fly under the radar and have some opposition clubs support us, especially Collingwood supporters who say 'it us against them'
LOL

We got a lot of Friday games when we were in the window. Our time will come.

I dont have an issue with this, except please explain the 6 Carlton Thursday or Friday night games.... That extra 2 points makes a big difference apparently....

Bigger supporter base I guess.....We have to be up and about to attract a decent viewing. I don't know.

 

[TedDougChris]

Answer is obvious - it's the ratings and supporter base. But the AFL shouldn't come out and say you earn Friday night games and then give 6 to Carlton. Carlton - they're shit..... They haven't earnt anything in a long, long time.....

sorry, I meant any the next season

I guess we're just going to have to beat everyone now

I've been banging on about that rabble for ages, even called SEN after the GWS game about it saying how critical that loss would probably be to our hopes of Friday Night Football and that if we would've finished ahead of them then at least we can say to the AFL hem hem.
