I'm interested to see how it works and what would stop teams drafting them as a rookie or later pick and adding the player to the Cat B spot instead, essentially just creating a spot in the main list.
I'm happy with the intent but most things the afl do are executed very poorly.
I've held Nas, Heeney, Dawson (twice) and now Whitfield for a week this year, in addition to all the other forced trades (Trac, Gulden, Rozee, English, Zorko and Dev Rob).
It would be nice to have a full team once this year.
If North played those against vic teams, that would have had more effect.
Maybe Geelong v North in Broome on a 5 day break, followed by North v Melbourne in Exmouth.
Ugly - Our experienced forwards dropping uncontested marks 15m in front of goal doesn't help.
Good - Maybe it was the weather but we didn’t see the hawks run the ball from end to end too often (may have been weather related).
Bad - another loss against a top 8 team. Worrell and Laird kicking...
If the crows don't get Bailey, then they probably prefer the Butts compo pick than helping the dogs out to get a pick for Kamis and get a token pick themselves
Why do the crows do that though for a token pick so dogs get a better one?
Crow are better to demand a 2nd rd pick just after what the dogs will get for Kahmis.
Dogs get their 2nd rd pick upgraded and crows get another 2nd, maybe throw a 33rd back.
Otherwise crows saying no to the trade and...
