Schultz is 100 games into his career....he's got credits in the bank. I'm not ruling Jhye Clark out but many cat fans talk as if he's already made it as an afl player when he clearly hasn't. That's premature in itself.

Not sure what your point is. Schultz is a very very good player. I don't judge a player after just a few games. His career to date has shown his capabilities. And when talking about Bailey Smith, Gawn and Petracca did their ACL's too yet turned out pretty good. Bailey Smith is still young to...

Wells has had as many hits and misses as most other recruiters. First rounders: Darcy Lang, Tenace, Mitch Brown, Billie Smedts, Thurlow, Nakia Cockatoo, Daniel Menzel, Cooper Stephens. Outside the glory years, he's made some howlers just like every recruiter has.

schultz is a gun...? I would've paid a 1st for him easily.

You haven't beaten anyone in the top 8 yet, lets pump the brakes :)

That's because everyone knows you'd finish last so a F1 is pick 1.

yeah. no. he's a good player but not close to that. 800k-ish at best.

The only way to make it fair is to scrap the father son altogether. The integrity of the competition is more important. I will say that every time they change the rules it gives an unfair advantage to the clubs that recently cashed in on the father/son or nga picks.

but it was obvious that the system was flawed well before Ugle Hagan was gifted to the dogs. It's an absolute joke that the afl didn't work quickly enough.

typical afl to shaft the dees once we have some father sons coming up but sure let's gift the dogs, pies and lions anything they please. Oh, but sorry dees, no Mac Andrew for you. you can't make this stuff up. They should've changed the rules before the Ugle-hagan draft. But the AFL wanted to...

Did you tell everyone that you think you're getting Sam Taylor as well as Warner? 😆 🤣

he's worth a pick around 10-14

I think everything is the opposite. Why do you get a discount for getting gifted talent? If you want access to elite talent you should have to pay like 20-30% more for the privilege of having access to someone you shouldn't have access to. I've never understood the discount.

I'm not talking about the years prior, I'm talking about the last few years. You've had 3 elite youngsters for free. You would've known 3 years ago that you had multiple midfielders come in, so that helps your list strategy. Massively kissed and a massive asterisk on future results.

Spot on. Changing the rules now only further disadvantages all of the other clubs. They should, but won't, give concessions to all the clubs that didn't get gifted elite players for doing stuff all. Geez, the dees would've won the flag with Ugle-Hagan or if we had Darcy Moote playing next to...

why are you sending me a screenshot of something I already know? So actually it goes back further for Melbourne having only 1 afl standard father-son in 30 years. Brisbane have had 3 in 1 year essentially if you include the next Ashcroft.

I've got an idea. how about scrap the stupid father/son rule altogether. Who gives a stuff that Jack silvagni plays for carlton or taj woewodin plays for Melbourne.

Yeah, but what's the difference? Many clubs don't get anything. The dees could've had Mac Andrew from Gold Coast but of course they changed the rules after the bulldogs got gifted JUH. The reality is, the bulldogs have been so gifted from the system that it's ruined the comp for about 10-15...

Dude, this isn't the place for a bulldogs supporter. Your club has been given the most handouts of any other club. Hunter, Cordy, Darcy, Liberatore, West, Wallis, Croft and not to mention getting gifted pick Ugle-hagan under an outdated system that got changed because of it. How many afl...

I didn't say scrap the academies did I?...

scrap fs. scrap nga. re-do the points system to place a higher value on high picks and you can only match with a combination of 2 picks. Not 3 or 4 etc

father/son needs to be scrapped. Don't give r me 'oh it's romantic nonsense'. Who gives a stuff that Taj Woewodin is at the dees or Jack Silvagni is at Carlton? Are Essendon fans heartbroken because the great Daniher name is at Essendon? No. Make the competition fair and have some damn...

what are you talking about? he was a scrub this year. didn't even average a goal a game playing majority forward. And offered nothing defensively. And played only 3 decent games all season.

I was told that last year mate. no excuses at all. this season was his season to produce.

he had a terrible year. pathetic year in fact

I'd offer up something around pick 25-35 and cross my fingers. Odds are stacked against him. What is he, 24 yrs old and played 3 decent games all season?

well the draft is compromised but it's not like the competition is fair or even anyway.

I agree. it's like pick 1 is a father/son. Club says "no worries guys, pick 24,29,37,39,43, 56, 68. The points match".

I agree. I can't stand the compromised drafts. Look at the dogs, pies and Brisbane. 3 teams that are basically living at the top due to the father/son rule alone. I'd abolish the father/son rule all together. After the dees get Kalani White of course (Jeff White's son). lol. I've never...

The competition isn't a fair competition, I'm just pointing it out. Same with many other aspects of the league such as fixturing. The father/son rule has completely distorted the league all because of 'romance' for many years now. That's just a fact.
