WAFL and SANFL f/s is basically over already. You need to have played your 150 or 200 games back in the 90s or earlier meaning your kids are almost certainly too old to be drafted today.The only changes I would make to the Father/Son is to make it easier for WA and SA clubs to get access to eligible WAFL and SANFL progenies (say a 150 game threshold instead if the current 200 game minimum)
Got no idea how to fix the NGA system Tbh.
I do firmly support the Suns and Giants having their own academies though, not convinced any other club need them any more tbh.
I would fix NGA by making eligibility way tighter (you need to be genuinely new to the game) but remove or reduce the pick 40 restrictions.
I agree about the northern academies, especially since they can't have father sons yet. I also really like seeing the game grow here in sydney.
If you just significantly increase the points value of picks 1-5 you fix so many problems. It gets much harder to get a cheap naicos or ashcroft if he costs 4500 points. You can tighten it further by saying only 2 picks can be used in matching.
