    Swans Boss says rivals should PAY for poaching Northern academy kids

    It is really? Or are you just a typical one eyed welfare club supporter? The AFL fund the Swans much more than other clubs. What is that money spent on.? WA clubs fund WA football incuding junior development. Both clubs contributed millions every single year to fund WA football. 100%...

    Swans Boss says rivals should PAY for poaching Northern academy kids

    You picked up the 2nd Ashcoft when? With a discount. Annables? Test tube premierships with likely more to come. Enjoy the free ride while it lasts. AFL policy has allowed the Lions to rebuild its midfield with 3 x top 5 picks whilst winning back to back flags. All fact buddy.

    Swans Boss says rivals should PAY for poaching Northern academy kids

    Read my posts explaining it. It really very simple. Are the Swans profitable and where does the profit come from? Are AF distributions even for all? What do the Swans get compared to others? Its basic math.

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Comparing yourself to the requirements of elite sports and team building. Are you getting paid what Haley is and will be paid? Is your organisation under performing and has been poor for several years? Continuing to miss KPIs and struggling to meet performance required? If you cant...

    Swans Boss says rivals should PAY for poaching Northern academy kids

    Lol. So you dont think priority access with discounts to the club playing and winning grand finals wasnt engineered? It was. It gave the Lions access and multiple discounts landing muktiple players under the AFL engineered rukes that favoured the teams in states it wanted growth in. Test...

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    CDT looked sore and tired. Needs a break to freshen up. In fact, the whole team looked sore and hardly got into 3rd gear. Skills from both sides were terrible.

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Presume this is regarding Harley and the UFC fight. If a player was at another function across town an hour after the game that tells me they havent done the warm down or the rehab. No ice bath, no stretching and obviously no post game check up by doctors or physio's. It also shows he isnt...

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    We lost at selection. Our players were outplayed. Our coach out coached. And I saw some of the worst skills, from both sides, I have seen in quite some time. Our only KP defender selected last season was the 4th ranked defender of the opposition we played today. And they took full...

    Swans Boss says rivals should PAY for poaching Northern academy kids

    How has this been debunked? It hasnt. Which Northern clubs run a profit if they dont get increased AFL distributions? The dividends from the Eagles and Freo profits go to the WAFL and that funds WA football and junior development. Plus the clubs pay for their own academies. And the get the...

    Swans Boss says rivals should PAY for poaching Northern academy kids

    Direct analogy? So who in the AFL will die because of these changes? Noone. Because its a 1st world problem. Geez, its a tad worrying all the rorting has you so drunk with entitlement you are over reacting so much. Grasping at any straw argument. And when your club is rebuilding again it...

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

    All clubs can access and benefit from free agency. You just need to wait your turn. Only 4 clubs have Northern academy access. That's the difference.

    The AFL are funding the academies dude.

    Swans Boss says rivals should PAY for poaching Northern academy kids

    How could you get something so simple so wrong. AFL already funds the academy. The club gets paid to run it for the AFL under Lions colours. Been explained several times.

    Swans Boss says rivals should PAY for poaching Northern academy kids

    What resources do clubs invest? It's AFL cash being used to employ club chosen people and players to run an AFL academy in the clubs colours. This narrative that the clubs fund the academies is fundamentally wrong. The AFL (all clubs) fund those academies. The Northern clubs get larger...

    Prediction Round 8, 2026: Changes vs Richmond

    He has been down. The ankle injury he picked up a month before the season set him back. He hasnt hit the season at the same level of form we know he can deliver. Im not surprised. Hopefully his fitness improves.

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

    I bet that never happens. And if anyone uses that as a threat they would be laughed out of the building carrying their box full of personal items on the way to applying for their next job. Maybe you would feel differently if it finished 15th and had the #1 ranked kid coming through.

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

    Academies will continue. No matter how much the Northern clubs and fans complaign. Why? Because if you want to keep your job you will do what AFL House wants. They are paying the bills and keeping the clubs afloat.

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

    How is the system flawed? Port have some leverage. They had nore leverage last trade period but refused to use it. Is that the systems fault? Or Port's for allowing him to reach free agency?

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

    Why would the Suns or Lions bother continuing with academies? Because they get priority access to the kids. Because both clubs are owned by the AFL, funded by the AFL and will do exactly what the AFL tell them to do. Because the AFL wants to grow the game in the North. This argument that "...

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

    The teams at the top playing in and winning grand finals pay a bit more. As do teams finishing 3rd and 4th. And the teams finishing last get a 10% discount. So what? Thats exactly how equalisation should work. Thats how we end up with a better more even competition. When your team is down...

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

    Divides AFL House from reality? Id suggest sitting on their hands, doing nothing and kicking the can down the road to 2029 would be ignoring reality. Just like that fool asking for $200k if another club poaches a Qld academy kid. FFS man, the AFL are funding massive distributions and...

    We look one tall short in defense. Against Richmond may not be an issue. Its a smaller side, which I dont mind.

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

    It doesnt matter when it happens someone will feel ripped off. The AFL admitted that. So why is the timing shit house? When would be the best year to do it? And why not now?

    I cant believe you dont understand the concerp of forward planning and liasing with the sports regulator. In business management plans are often based on future changes that have yet to be finalised or confirmed in detail. You think companies dont plan and react to partial information...
