Have read this morning that the AFL is likely to change the rules on academy players such that if they get drafted in the first round by another club, the academy club doesn't get the right to match the bid.
If so, this means we are near certainties to miss out on Lachie Jones despite us manoeuvring through the draft last year to stockpile late picks to match the bid. Typical VFL bullshit.
Already posted in general AFL thread - it starts in 2021 not this year.
