Bidding rules should be the same with the Northern academy's IMO, we only have the NGA's in the 1st place to try balance out the rorting that the system has had for yrs now. I have always hated the bidding system with a passion.We won’t get access to him if he’s that good. This year if an NGA gets bid on in the first 20 picks you can’t match, from picks 21 too 40 you match like normal after that you just use your next available pick to get them.
Next year it’s worse no matching in the first 40 picks with normal matching after that.
No word on 2023 but I imagine it’s going to be worse again. Afl trying to phase out NGAs.

. All because JUH, Lachie Jones, Tarran Thomas and Quaynor were first rounders. How many northern academy kids have been first rounders? Great for the Dogs, Port, Roos & Pies but ****s over everyone else who don’t get to reap the rewards of their hard work/money/time. 
It should all be stripped back. 1 day free agency. 2 days trades. 1 day draft (including rookies) it's just a crap ploy by the AFL to stay semi relevant for another couple months but really all their doing is boring everyone to death. I'm pretty sure we all wish we spent a huge number of hours this last week a better way than checking to see that nothing's changed. I did however learn that the Bulldogs pick 17 was akin to the golden ticket in Willy Wonka. Don't know how or why but 70 delusional flogs passing around Kool aid have finally convinced me. Wonder if we offer up pick 7 we might still be able to get it?Anyone else wish they’d scrap the two nights of the draft and just go back to 1?
First round having its own night sounds good in theory but our draft doesn’t have the hype of the nfl draft, reckon it should go back to just the 1 night
Hey we got Egg out of the Academy. We also spent a few hundred grand so a few kids could go to Scotch College for a zero return on investment. Ahh eggie so glad we never gave Josh Green a chance. Was far better to give eggy another crack where his solitary game was so putrid his papers were stamped. Better the devil you know I guess....It’s complete bullshit that the kids we had already in the academy we now don’t get access to even though they’ve been in it since they were 11. All because JUH, Lachie Jones, Tarran Thomas and Quaynor were first rounders. How many northern academy kids have been first rounders? Great for the Dogs, Port, Roos & Pies but fu**s over everyone else who don’t get to reap the rewards of their hard work/money/time.

I just love Wanganeen-Milera. His upside is huge. At 188cm he is already a great height. He has fantastic vision and good evasiveness and speed. He is a beautiful kick as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes very very early.

The AFL app sends me alerts that notify me of a trade, notify me of a potential trade, and also to let me know when Damian Barrett is on air.
Bit of the RCD's about him. How's his tank? [emoji51]Like this lad. Wouldn't be upset at pick 7

I've been touting knevitt for sometime and only now people are questioning why he won't go earlier. I think he may be a late first or very early second round pick. He is a player who has improved later than others but appears to have very good attributes.what do people know about Knevitt and why he is seemingly flying under the radar? incredible stats, 193cm, sub 3s sprint over 20m, rocks a sh*t mullet, country boy? surely he is into top 20 calculations
The only similarity is they're tall, right-footed mids. RCD is bash and crash, feed out the handball. Johnson is an inside/out type who can win his own ball, step through traffic and hit someone lace-out. Classier. More like a right-footed Pendles in type.Bit of the RCD's about him. How's his tank?

Not even. Morton was as outside as they come.reminds me of Cale Morton
So he should be avoided? Like RCD... a hack. He'd want to be a lot better than RCD.Bit of the RCD's about him. How's his tank? [emoji51]

Ironically the complaints came from up North....It’s complete bullshit that the kids we had already in the academy we now don’t get access to even though they’ve been in it since they were 11.
