Let me just add this sobering thought. Cale Morton used to rack them up at colts.
Not saying he's that bad merely pointing out that big numbers can be racked up at colts if you have the fitness base.
Well I was dead wrong on that call!

I fully expect Aish to do a Polec and start dominating after he moves to Port! But even then it's possible Sheed > Aish.
I apologise to our recruiters! we are lucky to have kept our first in hind sight!!
be interesting to know if the recruiters got the vibe that he was going home no matter what - brissy ignored this and went for him - we went for sheed as a result
I agree. It is going to be very painful for Brisbane when it happens. You wouldda thought they'd have sorted their issues out. The amount of young talent they've lost is incredible.

I'm not sold on Aish performing the way Polec has, Polec had a terrible run with injuries during his time with Brisbane and seemed hard done by when given a chance, Aish is turning over the ball with just terrible disposal. That said I do also believe that his manager has a hell of a lot to do with his current form problems, he's mentally checked out but can't sort out which Adelaide club he's going to.
Just get frustrated watching West Coast as always rated Yeo as the real big loss of the go home players from 2 years ago and said as much at the time.
Maybe there needs to be a rule where all players for their first 3 years or so are managed by a generic AFL employed manager or something, to reduce the risk of young draftees focusing on trades too early ?
Brisbane are asking for 3 year contracts straight from the draft apparently.

It should be a given for 1st rd picks only

Was reading the Brisbane thread when Elliot was drafted and feel genuinely bad for the lions as you could see their supporters go from curiosity regarding their new skinny recruit from WA, to being encouraged by his early signs and then they were well and truly on board the Elliot train... only to have it derailed when he was traded. Some Lions fans were naturally bitter but there was a nice post commenting on Elliot's 'shy but all around nice guy' character, so it's nice to know we got an excellent player but a decent bloke as well.
After they are picked, currently it's a 2 year contract straight away.
So what if they say no?
It would be a basic requirement of nominating for the draft. ie. players who nominate for the 2015 nab afl draft are drafted to the club that chooses them, whatever part of the country said team is. The player agrees by nominating to a two year contract with whatever club nominates them. If they try to say no, they are unable to nominate for draft.
The only thing they may do (noone can stop them) is suggest to any other clubs than their preffered destination that they may get homesick and leave. ala Chad Wingard.

brizzy is a humid dump with awful traffic and no beaches
much rather be drafted to the gold coast
I think he's been drinking his own bath water of late, from what I've heard.
But who cares, he's a great player.
Should be a set 3 years with a club option of a 4th. And the club has to pay out those first 3 years if they cut them before.
In the NFL it is 4 years for second round on and 5th year option for first rounders. I think this works well, and in the NFL players are even more ready than they are in the AFL, where at least 3-4 years of development is required for most players.
That's the crux for me, you draft a kid and are basically a footballing creche until they have 100 games.
Ive always thought raising the draft age would be good for ghe clubs, the lower tier comp and more importantly the player as they atent pushed too hard too early.
