Also, as long as the AFL turns a blind eye to kids saying they don’t want to move interstate, the Northern academies will remain.

Thilthorpe looking shaky?

Shoulda gone to SpecSavers...

In fairness he was in the 20-20 draft.

If that’s the case. Northern states should only be allowed to draft from their academy. That will fix it, no go home factor then

And?

Up till the last few nights I had stupidly not looked into Draper too much just assuming he will end up at the Crows being SA talent.

But after looking into him more, I actually think he could be the best of the 3 when looking at Lalor / FOS and Draper and I would not be against him being pick 1 or the target of choice IF we traded up to pick 2.

He can seriously play..

No shit?

 

[pupstar]

And?

Maybe you should read his post properly then. He said between 20-10 and 20-19.

 

[Amacca 23]

No shit?

Imagine the blues if they got pick 3 to get draper and north and adelaide do a pick swap for 2 [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Well apparently north are just going to take Draper or FOS at 2 so imagining is all it will be

It's funny how a couple of supporters say they rate Draper and all of a sudden he could go Top 2. All supporters are nuffies and really we wouldn't have a clue.

Half of your post sums up your contribution to the topic.

Quite the opposite I rate too many in this draft. I will support the club with whoever they pick at No1 and all the other picks we have.

Why?

It’s a national competition. The AFL are just too weak to actually run it as such.

Or to follow up your idea further, just go back Zones.

I’ve heard for months how enamoured north are with Draper.

Which speaks volumes given our list and his lack of versatility

Agreed. His champs put me off, but I didn’t realise he had been impacted by injury as he was.

His senior sanfl form was eye opening

And thats the difference between him and nearly all the others in the top 6

To be fair jaggas vfl form was equally as strong.

And Langford and fos were very strong in their one offs. Outside of the midfield as well.


People that say the top 5 is even with the rest are way off

Or wasn’t South Australian. JHF did damage to other future interstate prospects I reckon. Might be a good result for SA clubs etc going forward though.
I’m sure North would be slightly gun shy. Maybe not the bigger clubs. But it’s relevant IMO.
Others will disagree. But it was a shithouse look. Guess if things were reversed and it was a Vic kid returning from interstate then the general consensus would be it’s fine, I don’t like it though. Not after first year.

Couldn’t agree more mate. It’s only getting worse that stuff too. It’s not a level playing field, you are preaching to the converted.

FA is a farce. Assistance is a joke. Academies are laughable…..I like the idea of academies, but not how they are right now.
NGA has chopped and changed repeatedly.
FS has even changed and affected us massively.
But for the competition, I think it’s all a farce. Rules on the Run AFL garbage.
Don’t get me started on the financial document that is the draw. It’s laughable.

Plus now the managers have WAY too much control.
