It sucks until we're in that position (hopefully one day).It should be spoken about more, they got Two Elite talls for a bunch of late 2nd and early 3rd round picks, the system still sucks.
In fairness, Melbourne missed out this year. Mac Andrew was part of their academy just like JUH last year was part of the dogs academy. The dogs benefit and the AFL change the rule and Melbourne miss out...Maybe the AFL didn't think Andrew would end up being so highly rated otherwise they might have pushed the rule change back a year to help one of the big melbourne clubs!!It sucks until we're in that position (hopefully one day).
Are there any delisted players we should look at?So do we have first pick in the rookie draft then
1. North - Polec
2. Collingwood - Chugg
3. GC - Thompson or McLennan
4. Us?
The FS rule still stinks IMO. It should be the same as the academy system if at all.In fairness, Melbourne missed out this year.

Why are people so obsessed with height? From memory the Hawks midfield wasn't a tall one during their three peat.

Wow... GC lose twice. Once by losing Greenwood, once by gaining Polec.I just had a strange thought that wouldn't it be hilarious if Noerth didn't use PSD selection one on Polec, and Gold Coast picked him up.
A "reverse Greenwood".
a very simple solution would be that any bid matching cannot be done with more than 2 picks. That will get rid of accumulating a bunch of junk picks to match a bid with. So for example if Daicos was a definite chance at a pick 1 bid and that happened, then Collingwood would have needed a couple of pretty high picks to match or he could have been North'sThe FS rule still stinks IMO.

I haven't seen much of Connor Blakley but he appears to have fallen out with Longmuir over there.
Why give them a points discount on top of priority match.a very simple solution would be that any bid matching cannot be done with more than 2 picks.

According to the Fox Sports Lab, Butts went at 82% disposal efficiency (79% kick efficiency) this year. Our 2nd best after Kelly (84%). Pretty happy with that for a big guy.I won't say who is terrible, but players who aren't fantastic: O'Brien, Keays, Laird, Murphy, Sloane, Butts, Crouch, Hately, Berry, Pedlar.
Haven't seen enough of Gollant, Worrel, Borlase, Murray and Newchurch to say for sure.
Hamil seems hit and miss.
Berry and Pedlar have time on their side. Berry seems good at short hit up kicks.
keep it a bit romantic with some chance the player can end up at his fathers club.. but if daicos was bid on at say pick 1, it might have needed 2 x 1st rounders to match the bid which would be seen as a hell of a lot fairer than picks 32, 35, 43, 44 59 and whateverWhy give them a points discount on top of priority match.
Losing Walsh was one of the biggest tragedies.

Its got very little to do with why we havent won a flag.
