Plenty of time for someone else to catch up.Eagles likely finish last. And we get the 4th best player in the draft. What a joke.
I suggest Richmond recruit St Kilda President as a speech writer.We should legit ask for a comp pick for not getting access to the best kids in the draft while finishing in the bottom two for 3 years straight

Probably another good reason to go on a bidding spree to push back our picks as late as possible to prove that point even more.We should legit ask for a comp pick for not getting access to the best kids in the draft while finishing in the bottom two for 3 years straight
It’s farcical these “academies”. For kids raised on footy, they should never ever be part of academies. Son of an AFL player? What a joke the system isGood for Dougie, if not for the nga and the fact his father played afl footy I’m not sure he would have ever discovered the sport exists and been lost to cricket or soccer![]()

What do you mean? We're finishing 13th with this drawWe should legit ask for a comp pick for not getting access to the best kids in the draft while finishing in the bottom two for 3 years straight

Nah, I can see Port matching whatever Butters is offered, and asking for a 2026 and 2027 1st from whoever wants him. 2026 for Dougie, 2027 for their 3 father/sonsI can see what will happen a mile away.
We are going to finish 16th and instead of having pick 3 it will be pushed down because of Cochrane & Walker, then Port will finish 17th down the bottom lose Butters for Priority 1 comp and our pick will end up pick 6.
This comp is a ****ing rort.

You have any other times from the SA lads?van Dyk upset he didn't make AFL academy and ran a 6:15 2km to prove a point.
One of the most baffling academy snubs I can recall in years.Nah, was just his manager saying he was fuelled by the Academy snub
Needed a grandma to pop his mum out at Dubai airport and he would have been good to go.One of the most baffling academy snubs I can recall in years.
Academies were created so that the clubs to which they are aligned have first crack. Well, that's how they work worldwide, but somehow the AFL found a way to f it all up.What’s the point of responding to this ludicrous decision. I thought the role of Academies was to support communities from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter AFL pathways, that may not have been accessible without a club’s active intervention.
Jesus if we can add this bloke then our midfield will be setArki Butler was always the best player in the 2026 draft anyway
