2. First-round presence rule​

To stop clubs giving away too many top picks:

1. Every club must use at least two first-round selections within a rolling multi-year window (historically four years; extended as future trading expanded).
2. If a club would fall below this requirement, they cannot trade away another future first-round pick until the rule is satisfied.

Purpose: prevent clubs from permanently trading away early talent and damaging competitive balance.

There must be allowances to the first-round presence rule though given what we saw with the Charlie Curnow trade. Sydney traded out their first round selections in 2025 + 2026 (F1) + 2027 (FF1) which would rule out the ability to take 2 picks in a 4-year window. Or maybe the window was extended when they allowed trading picks a further year ahead.

The AFL will give them a time limit to bring in a first. Sydney probably have until end of 2027 trade period to get a first. Essendon in 2020 was allowed to trade firsts as long as they ended up with at least 2 firsts by the trade deadline.

But what happens if they just don’t? I wonder if these rules are actually written down somewhere or if the AFL prefers to just make it up as they go.

Probably get punished in some way for the next season. Trade embargo probably. They probably do make it up as they go.

Draft contention?

 

[grassman75]

Max Darcy, especially after Will's 1st VFL showing for Footscray.
Luke has some seriously talented swimmers.

Can we get him back on the stud farm?

Draft contention?

Played a lot of school footy over the last few years
Would be rookie at best st this stage
Though I don't watch a lot of interest ressie stuff

I recon we need to get all of The Bont/Sam/Will/Ed on the stud farm.
The FS rule is the best in AFL

For us it might be, but teams like the Saints won't stop until that is almost or id taken away

Bont needs a talking to, first one off the rack is a daughter, which of course is fine, but it just delays our plans

If only the Saints had used their Disco for good instead of one night stands….

Bastard offspring don’t count?
Or will we see the AFL face a legal challenge backed up by DNA evidence of paternity?

And what about adopted kids? Are they eligible if their foster Mum or Dad played 100 games?

I think no one knows who fathered who from those days DW.

But I do find it humorous that we could never get a tall KPP so it seems we started a breeding program and Darce took it next level

Need to be careful the Saints. One day they might have some talented Father/Sons and due to their short term thinking they will pay an absolute premium, if they get them at all. What an own goal.

English Jr will be 230cm tall.

Go the way of the Darcy clan.
3 boys but it would be great to girl.
Dual AFL/AFLW Bont captains.

The AFL has set an ambitious target to increase the number of First Nations footballers in the men’s and women’s competitions, and will consider a dedicated list spot among a range of incentives to get there. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl...he_age&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1773959324

Both Khaled El Souki and Kobe Williams had big games today in the coates talent league

I think we still have access to williams? As do hawthorn

 

[weltschmerz]

El Souki with 2.1 from 23 disposals

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

If Luke Darcy is to be believed, the youngest Darcy boy, Max, is considered the best of the three.

Heard that too

Both us and Hawthorn still have access to Williams so he'd have to choose to be nominated by us or the Hawks in order to have priority access.
