I am also not having a crack at draftees.
My gripe is a disconnect from local clubs.
It use to be up to the player
Nothing wrong with the coaching
But would hope that the TAC cup physophy is not get as many drafted. then not care about the others on the list
And reset for next year .
Overhaul, paah ... !!! Put St Patrick's College, Ballarat, in Bendigo with all its boarding facilities, multiple sporting scholarships - yes they grab 16 year olds from across Victoria and NSW - obvious case in point would be Jacob Hopper circa 2015, Rioli etc (and the majority of draftees out of St Pats over the past 10 years) - and ready access to the coaching and conditioning assets available within the environment of a proven successful VFL team such as North Ballarat and there is your overhaul. Ballarat and Clarendon College do the same in relation to scholarships to what is proven to be one of the top ten schools in the state (Academia wise, which makes it an easy sell) That is why the Rebels work!!
Pioneers don't have the luxury of these schools supporting their program, and I am positive the coach of the Pioneers is mot responsible for the current points system ... that said, given your comments about Pioneers not playing for their home side during Bye rounds, ex pioneers playing in Bendigo locally wouldn't be 4 pointers if they return to their home club.
It's worth remembering that the TAC is a pathways model, designed by the AFL to facilitate the growth of the AFL. Not unlike any other educational pathway. Four draftees is a tick in my book. I imagine it would be in the AFL's book as well.
