    Opinion Should the AFL introduce draft pick protection?

    Not really. There is such thing as a conditional pick however thats more based on the player they're trading for reaching certain milestones that mean the pick is actually traded. If they don't then it reverts back to the original team. Most of these sort of picks are 5-7th round picks and...

    Lions pick 1

    that would probably get it through and i'd probably take that bet depending on whether they got Martin or not as a FA. I'd be waiting before I made that deal to see where he ended up. If they got dusty and Rockliff then i probably wouldn't.

    Lions pick 1

    and Rockliff. The AFl wouldn't let it happen TBH. WOuld have to be another pick coming back because in isolation pick 1 for pick 4 doesn't pass any sort of logic test and collusion over FA/trades isn't allowed. Throw in your second round pick any it probably sails through.

    in your opinion. Mine is that Hipwood sits one goal behind your best goal kicker for the season, despite playing one less game, in the club currently last on the ladder with a fellow second year player, or josh walker or michael close playing as the other KPF. Thats pretty impressive.

    Statistics have a place, absolutely, but all your original post did was point to a stats sheet comparing two young players that play very different roles in their side and proclaim that that was proof that they weren't even close as far as overall performance goes this year. Personally I'm...

    And this is where you showed you don't actually watch brisbane games and are going purely off stats, as per my comment earlier.

    2017 Rising Star Discussion

    What an incredibly simplistic was too look at it. You're comparing stats for two guys playing very different roles against very different opposition. How many times has Curnow played the whole game on the oppositions best KPF? How many times has Hipwood played a high half forward role up the...

    2017 Rising Star Discussion

    Genuinely surprised there's not much love for Ainsworth on here. Much better player than Taylor and will play a bit of a similar role. Will score goals and lots of them this year. From the lions, outside of our draftees i'd say the surprise packet would be Eric Hipwood. Played very well...

    The Academies - 2016

    I don't want to argue about the academies here but I do want to highlight the above. Lets not confuse the Crows and Port giving the SANFL money out of the goodness of the heart to develop talent vs distributing funds to their owners. I wonder how much they will distribute each year at the end...

    The whole school scholarship argument seems a bit strange IMO, what are GWS supposed to do, fund a scholarship to a Sydney Private school? hardly. If those kids hadn't received training and development since age 12/13 would they have developed the way they have been. Therefore would they have...

    2016 Draft Rumours

    You don't get your pick slid back when matching a first round bid with one first round pick. Those points sit in a pool of extra points that can be utilised at the end of the draft if you're in deficit or can carry over to the next year to make up deficits.

    Academy and father son noms

    Nope you don't have to take them although if they get through the draft without being picked up you can get first dibs on them in the rookie draft. If they haven't nominated them I'd imagine its because they either don't rate the player or have a need in that position. We have on'y nominated 5...

    I'd swap the auto 4th trigger for a club optioned 4th year with the minimum salary for the 4th based on games played perhaps?

    CEY. Whats his value?

    Brisbane have Norths third round pick we don't have our own. I'd be comfortable with giving that up for him. its pick 47 currently but could be higher depending on what the kangas do in finals. Certainly feel like he'd be an upgrade on our current bigger midfield options in Jansen and Evans.

    Thats not really the whole picture now is it? at the start of the trade period the swans had 1944 points (if you exclude what was used in the Michael Talia trade as that was completely points unrelated) and at the end of trade period they had 2130. Thats 186 points difference or about pick...

    Absolutely. I tend to think that if there was any more to it we would have heard something further about this by now. The Todd Marshall stuff ramped up pretty quickly and that was a heck of a lot less controversial than what that article is insinuating

    Doubt we should be surprised about this sort of article coming out when it has, although using a whole bunch of quotes from an 2014 article would suggest that the writer didn't put much work into it and clearly didn't interview the scheer family at all...

    considering if they had to play at home half the squad would actually be away from home I can understand them playing all the games away. Its not like we're talking massive home ground advantages here like in the AFL, plenty of the "home team" players would have barely ever played on the...

    I'm preparing my list of formidable tasmanian afl talent that has come through the system now so i'm ready in about 3-4 years to cry blue murder, while conveniently forgetting all the "whats happened to tassie football" articles that were written.
