List Mgmt. 2026 AFL Draft

[spky1234]

Arki Butler was always the best player in the 2026 draft anyway

Eagles likely finish last. And we get the 4th best player in the draft. What a joke.

Plenty of time for someone else to catch up.

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

I suggest Richmond recruit St Kilda President as a speech writer.

What an absolute joke of a competition the AFL is.
If it wasn't for FIFA & F1 they would be the most corrupt league in the world

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.

Good 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

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 is

I 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.

What do you mean? We're finishing 13th with this draw

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/sons

 

[The Vaucluse]

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.

LOL even more of a rort

Do that, plus send off Bergman / Georgiades to Tassie in 2027 as free agents for even more draft currency.

van Dyk upset he didn't make AFL academy and ran a 6:15 2km to prove a point.

Nah, was just his manager saying he was fuelled by the Academy snub

One of the most baffling academy snubs I can recall in years.

Needed a grandma to pop his mum out at Dubai airport and he would have been good to go.

AFL love to chuck a FS or Academy kid into the AFL Academy just because lol.

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.

Hopefully cousens all over Van Dyk for next year!

Could be costly trading the F5
