I've always considered Nicky Winmar more of a Bulldogs champion than a Saints champion.

If we do well out of the 2026 NGA / FS pool (Hok, El Souki, Cooney and West- if they all get picked up), you just know the AFL will think about changing the rules for 2027 to stop us getting a few more

All father-sons are now automatically tied to Geelong.

All father-sons are now automatically tied to Geelong.

Geelong now have priority access to all players with O+ blood type

 

[Mr. Walker]

Following the outcry regarding geographic changes to NGA eligibility criteria the AFL has decided to adopt a strictly scientific approach to all NGA and Father Son selections into the future

CLUB	Player has Chromosome	CLUB	Player has Chromosome
Adelaide Crows	A	Melbourne	K

Fair call by the AFL.

They understand that all Father-sons have a right to be brought home...

Can confirm
AFL has already put this into review and clubs are mad of the quick changes

 

[Doggy]

We have West and Cooney as well next year
Reckon a few future picks will be traded

Will have to trade 2028 picks into 2027 too given we have a few talented NGAs in 2027 unless the AFL stop us, which they probably will.

Who do we have in 2027?

 

[Doggy]

Who do we have in 2027?

Winmar's grandson, Sonni Te Moananui and Logan Purcell.

 

[Dogsfan1]

Winmar's grandson, Sonni Te Moananui and Logan Purcell.

And arti sairat

 

[Doggy]

And arti sairat

Don't know much about him.

The other 2 look good prospects at this stage

 

[Dogsfan1]

He looks really good as well he is a small forward slash midfielder

 

[VitalDread]

And arti sairat

Sairat is a jet
Could be a legit top talent

 

[Doggy]

He looks really good as well he is a small forward slash midfielder

So 3 of the same position in one year, as well as El Souki next year

 

[JohnnySteel]

Is Purcell also a small forward? Looks to be more of a brute.

 

[Doggy]

Mid - forward i believe

 

[JohnnySteel]

Mid - forward i believe

looks to have a good build already. Would be great to get another player in that Hynes mould. Dangerous forward and through midfield.

If the AFL don't change the rules so we miss out on our 2027 crop. Depends if we get a good one next year and they overreact

I really don’t think you can read too far ahead on these things. At the start of 2025 we were all wondering whether Kobe Williams was going to pick us or the Hawks and he’s not on an AFL list at all. Similarly if Sullivan Robey was on someone’s accademy list they wouldn’t have been too worried about stockpiling points 12 months out.

Maybe, but i doubt the club is going to sit on their hands hoping other clubs won't show interest. Forward planning is important and a thing.

I guess I’m more saying planning is somewhat futile, not that it’s not a thing at all, or making any comment on hoping about what other clubs do.

Obviously you have cases like Cochrane and Walker next year where you have high conviction they’ll be early picks and you need to plan, especially in the new system. But Cooney for example could become a 1st/2nd round pick or go entirely in drafted at this point.

I don’t think, for example that you trade out of a current draft just to accumulate points in future drafts based on a premature assessment of where bids will land, if you end up wanting the player at all.

We are going to have to make a ton of trades knowing that we are most likely have no 1st round picks for the Butters recruitment.

I don't think it's any use worrying about what trades we do or don't have to make until it's clear how good we and Port are a few games into the season.

If Port don't gel under a new coach and start the season 0-3 or whatever, and we start 2-1, while yes obviously things can change, but it becomes far more likely that Port just take the compensation pick that will thus almost certainly be a top 5 pick, as opposed to just pushing through a trade which will be a weird hodgepodge of multiple picks in the late teens and 20's, years into the future (so they can't realise the value now), with Tassie coming in in that period.

In some respects even if we can offer them marginally more in a trade or that they might bank on the fact that we collapse and therefore our future 1sts hold more value, it might not be worth it from Port's point of view to spend ages negotiating this trade - take your pick 5 compensation pick, use it, and not have to worry about managing these weird future assets.

If we do poorly next year and Hawks or Cats continue to contend then he very well may look past us anyway.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Yeah, which is why I'm not so worried about the mechanics of getting him across, because there's still lots of variables.

Port do unexpectedly well = he might stay
We do unexpectedly poorly = he might not want to come to us
Butters himself has a drop off in form and is no longer one of the game's cream of the crop elite = Port aren't that fussed in needing to add a 4th future 1st rounder, they're happy to accept 2-3

etc. etc.
