    Trade Requested Liam Ryan [OOC 2026] - Trade requested, will nominate the Saints

    I don't care how the AFL values them, don't clubs as a rule value future picks as substantially less than current picks in trades (i.e. North last year). That is, a 2nd round pick in next year's draft is nearly always less valuable than a 2nd round pick in this year's draft (at approximately the...

    Trade Requested Liam Ryan [OOC 2026] - Trade requested, will nominate the Saints

    Aren't future picks universally rated as significantly lesser value than current picks? If so, surely the trade has to be Pick 7 + F2nd for Ryan + Haw 1st. A future 2nd just isn't a good enough offer and I'd rather we hold Ryan to his contract than trade his for a future pick that is likely to...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    I'm hoping we use pick 1 to bid on Uwland and then Patterson in quick succession. Would love either and if Gold Coast match I want them paying through the nose for them. Then throw a bid on Annable for good measure.

    Trade Requested Liam Ryan [OOC 2026] - Trade requested, will nominate the Saints

    You're talking about pick 40+. You do realise that, yes?

    Trade Requested Liam Ryan [OOC 2026] - Trade requested, will nominate the Saints

    I'm confused. Are we talking about trading him at the end of next year? If not, surely we need to treat his age as his age and not continuously round up every single post. And we're not talking about sheep stations from West Coast's perspective, we're simply not interested in pick 43 or a F2nd...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    For the record I do feel for Carlton in this scenario because they do not have recent benefits from the system so I can understand your frustration as to the timing. Brisbane and Gold Coast supporters really do not have any cause for complaint given how heavily they have benefitted from this...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    The rule is broken. The fair and appropriate thing to do is to rectify it immediately (should've been fixed last year TBH when Gold Coast were known early in the year that they were going to make out like bandits). Also clubs were warned last year (see above). Nonsense. The system is currently...

    https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/06/15/i-find-that-bewildering-shock-and-confusion-with-change-on-the-cards-for/ Kane was asked when clubs and fans will have an answer on the alterations to the father-son and academy system. “That’s another pillar of the competitive balance review, we’re...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    Pretty self-serving and reprehensible position held by these three clubs. Honestly they either match their Academy and FS selections in a fair and appropriate way or they let him go to the club that bids. It's particularly distasteful from the Lions and Suns who have rorted the system recently...

    Opinion Who do you realistically want in the 2022 AFL Draft?

    I want Mackenzie, and below are the eight arbitrary categories that I have created for considering a midfielder draftee (and why I think Mackenzie is the best option around our pick): Ball winning - Congestion and stoppage extraction (8/10) This one is hard to fully assess due to Mackenzie...

    Opinion Who DON'T you want your team to draft? 2022 Edition

    Cool, hopefully we'll take him (he's my no. 1 preference for pick 9). Rate him as high as Wardlaw and above Clark, Humphrey, Ginbey, Hollands and Tsatas. Defintely don't want Clark with our first pick. Would prefer not to select Ginbey either.

    Strategy Why take Will Ashcroft with the first pick?

    There are better players in the draft than Ashcroft.

    Opinion Who do you realistically want in the 2022 AFL Draft?

    At pick 8: 1. Mackenzie; 2. Phillipou; or 3. Humphrey At pick 12: 1. Phillipou (if still available); 2. Hewett; or 3. Hollands At pick 20 Hotton or Hustwaite. Jones at pick 26.

    Which player do you realistically want with your teams first selection in the draft?

    Pick 2 seems pretty exxcessivve when you also have pick 5.

    Cool, so we're taking Constable at 13.

    2016 trade hypotheticals

    Just a hypothetical so I don't know how far off I am. Pick 12 + WC First Round 2017 (or Liam Duggan) for Jesse Hogan.

    2016 trade hypotheticals

    It's the addition of Barrass in the trade that really hurts us.

    Review Winners and Losers of the draft

    The talk was always that McCarthy was the more highly rated key back but he never even looked like it. I hope their picks pay off for them this year, because the last five years have been rough...

    Review Winners and Losers of the draft

    People were saying the same thing after their 2010 draft. Watson and McCarthy in the same draft. There was their backline for the next ten years. Luke Mitchell had played well at TAC Cup level and was a promising gorilla forward. Unfortunately it never transpired.

    Compared to selecting Lucas Cook at pick 12 these two seem completely reasonable.

    2015 AFL Draft

    Previously I've watched fox. However, this year I've dropped the sports package over the summer (as footy and tennis are the only sports I'm interested in). So back to the stone age for me.
