Analysis Father Son Selections

[VitalDread]

There are very simple solutions, that don't solve the problem, at least can minimise the advantage

1. Get rid of the 10% discount. Make it 0%. You get a right to bid. You developed the player. Those are advantages. You don't need an additional points discount. (At the very least a compromise where it's 5% or whatever).

2. Fix the draft points curve. They changed it this year but they didn't make it strong enough imo. I think the decline is too sharp or sharp enough in the top 15 but not sharp enough beyond 25 to 54 being zero (though about 40-45 should be zero in my eyes). Pick 15 you can expect to get a very good player, pick 35 you can't. As it stands, pick 34, 35 and 36 is worth more in draft value index points than pick 15. But in reality, if we're talking actual talent rather than DVI points, no team would actually trade pick 15 for 34, 35, 36. They might for (say) 28, 34 and 35, and that's a meaningful difference.

3. Make the actual matching of bids meaningful to the principle of the draft, that a player is worth one pick, not 2-3. For your first eligible player, you can use the points worth from a maximum of 3 picks. For 2nd and subsequent player, a maximum of 2 picks. You must use a pick within 18 places of the bid. The bidding system effectively "allows" teams to trade 4 picks for 1 player, but in reality, how often to you see a club - even if they have 10 list spots open - "break up" one early draft pick for 3-4 later draft picks? Never. Don't allow it in bidding either, it's unrealistic to how clubs actually operate.

The discount next year has gone from 20% to 10%

Is the only change next year that you can only use 2 picks to match? That will make matching much more challenging.

That'll be the big change. Will see a lot more aggressive trading on the day

Thats the only change so far. Who knows if they'll bring in more, no doubt a week before the draft.

New rules:

1. Academy and Father Son selections will not have draft pick numbers but will instead be known as Pick 0 selections so that the original numbers remain intact.

2. On 2-3 randomised occasions through the night Andrew Dillon will come out and do a Powerball draw for bonus wildcard selections which will be the immediate next pick.

See you in 2028.

We had 3 Cordys (Neil, Brian, Graeme) play a few games together in the 1980s.

Hopefully the Darcy’s combine for more than a few.

No changes to F/S can take place until we get Max Darcy.

With both Sam and Will playing for us I think we have a good chance of convincing Max to join us after his rookie contract expires If another club ends up picking him up.

Sam Darcy looks more like his grandfather than father.
