Everyone bidding on the Academy players even if they're sh*t. Good.

 

[Ka Norkers]

so Gold Coast give Melbourne two top 10 picks for Trac, then take four picks in the top 18 oin the draft.

yea, right, its an even playing field.

No wonder NRL going from strength to strength.

complete joke.

 

[demondavey]

It’s so depressing watching these young kids. They’re so naive and green. The AFL will chew them up and spit out the majority in 2-3 years. They have NFI.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Yeah an Ison bid needs to come in now

No thank you

 

[Gavin Excell]

Mate we watched you guys win lots of flags of a spine that was a father son fiesta

Scarlett- Ablett-ablett- Hawkins etc

What is the actual difference?

Most of the great sides in the past 30 years have had a leg up from the AFL.

Lions get both father son and academy gifts

 

[CakeEater]

No thank you

Isnt one nepo baby enough for you guys?

 

[CommittedSuns]

Draft night sucks we don’t ever get to take a pick. Sucks to be a suns supporter when your team never gets the opportunity to pick a player…

 

[CakeEater]

Lions get both father son and academy gifts

Yes, so therefore all gifts should be eradicated both father sons and academy picks

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Isnt one nepo baby enough for you guys?

No. We are striving to achieve GCS nepo levels especially with Cody Walker next year.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Carmichael gone to the Doggies!

Mate just be grateful it’s the AFL , and in particular the northern clubs -otherwise all those qld and nsw kids would be “forced” into the NRL - basically a slavery league!

I’ll give you Hawkins but the other two were not highly rated.

 

[The Nostradamus]

jack ison bid soon surely

cmon someone

 

[CakeEater]

I’ll give you Hawkins but the other two were not highly rated.

Scarlett and GAJ werent rated?

 

[Joffaboy]

They likely did a few of those bids knowing the other team was going to match, so it doesn't mean Richmond actually wanted those players.

Wonder if the Bulldogs actually wanted Carmichael.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Shifter you shut your mouth. Ison has no resemblance to Bont! 6th rounder at best.

 

[FreddyTwoShoes]

Scarlett and GAJ werent rated?

Both outside top 20 from memory.

complete joke.

Actually, we are crippling the NRL by ensuring all this elite talent doesn’t go their way.

All four of those boys would have been playing League if it wasn’t for the academy system.

For a season then straight to Rugby 360.

Hope he actually goes on to star for the bulldogs.
The more clubs bld , are encouraged to bid the better.
Also paints a black mark against the northern club not matching

 

[RUNVS]

No idea, they have him now though.

 

[FreddyTwoShoes]

Marsh eh?
Surprised he hasn’t already been selected for the Aussie test side.

 

[Joffaboy]

So you agree with Bassat?

On the Swans board it was generally agreed Carmichael was not a star in the sense he would not have many highlights, but he is the sort who goes out and does his job, just in a way that is not remotely flashy.

 

[CakeEater]

Another father son, at least this is a legit pick
