Yes, it'd be right in the AFL wheelhouse to change this year

Agreed. I'm thinking a total discount of xxx amount of points per draft is worth considering. Keep the curve, keep the discount but make it die off at a certain point. Limits or kills the chance of double dipping on a second player if you happen to have an early bid but allows you freedom to...

Better off sitting out the year than getting drafted by North at the moment

Only 10 goals.... sounds like negative thinking to me

They threw all their experience out about 5 years ago and left a generation gap. Now they're getting their just rewards - it's beautiful. Bottoming out is for weak minded and desperate clubs

Saw glimpses of his number in a couple of pre season videos, didn't recognise him. Found his number on the website. Anyway, something about his movement in those videos suggested to me we might have one here. Hope we're right.

Yes, it's all such a shame

One of Grundy's mates. Rocca actually has some good things to say about the club

Excellent. It'll be nice to have a new neighbour who I can discuss market trends with

How much is Reid worth at the trade table? Undoubtedly a generational player and future Brownlow winner. Single handedly transforming that team. Fans win burn the place down if he ever leaves

Please, please, please win. I really don't want to be hoping on a Hawthorn win to avoid a doughnut tipping round! This is big, we'll know all we need to know about our flag chances after this game.

0-6 and can make a strong case for 0-8 based on the match-ups tomorrow

Can't be doing worse than me

Ditto

Merge, then fold... preferably

Single handedly shifting that whole club.

Even bigger reason for the Vic clubs to whinge... while having their hands out for a compo pick. So, no different really

Why not just reduce the discount? Or cleaner still, limit the discount to a certain number of points per draft Pick 1 currently gets a discount of 600 points - pick 43 in value. Let's presume there's a second academy kid at pick 10 - another discount of 320 - pick 63 ish. And on and on. Can't...

I think both ideas are flawed for the same reasons You could effectively get stone walled out of the opportunity to match by other clubs. Plus, the premium to get up the board probably outweighs the current discount for accepting the bid. It just opens up too many bidding angles and although it...

Marshall from Brissy academy must be in the next 5 picks as well.

I'll tip us to win but I'm pretty nervous about this one.

Northern academies have a purpose... the nga's are an appeasement to the Vic clubs. Only one should remain in use

From the draft board - Austin Van Der Struyf is a very quick player from WA, his speed and attacking mindset is useful at the next level Reckon we've found the ideal draft crush for JackHiscoxWasFast

No NGA, no compo and discount only applies to one pick per academy. The first rort to fall out should be academy kids who board in traditional states. Brisbane get access to Marshall via academy even though he boards in Victoria - that's a shocker and just undermines the whole idea of academies...

And that'll last far more than 3 weeks

Criminal if they get more compo, last year was borderline ridiculous as it was. I think they've burnt out most the experienced players and the kids are too young but that's on them to fix, not every other team in the comp to make space for their ineptitude. I don't think there's been a...

If it reduces double ups it probably helps even out the comp a bit. Just can't imagine clubs willingly giving up home games for neutral ones. Too much money involved

Not confident... but at least we'll know how big a threat we are after this game

Absolute thrashing being handed out this weekend To all the tipsters who picked the favourites

It's amazing how well he has done, considering the obvious handicap he carries with him 😜
