North in breach of 2017 Draft Rules

[Tas]

"AFL rules state that a player of any age who was invited to a draft combine – national, state or Rookie Me – cannot train with an AFL club or affiliated state-league team leading into the same year's drafts."

How is this a hard rule to understand?

Why is this a rule, though?

Who cares who the kid trains with, it doesn't mean that he ends up at that club.

Tell that to Nick Blakey

 

[Val Keating]

Yawn. Just fine us 20k and be done with it.

 

[Catters 070911]

That's father-son, though.

Besides, to get him, North have to give up a pick. So there is a chance they may still not end up with him, if another club outbids North with a better pick. So North has no more or less advantage than any other team does with father-sons under the current rules.

Didn't Jy train with Melbourne the year before we drafted him?

Yep, but in the same way Nakia Cockatoo trained with us prior to being drafted by Geelong.

AFL Academy kid placement with AFL approval.

Hearing this was all a misunderstanding. Some AFL staff saw skills training at North and went straight to headquarters to report the breach for including non-registered players.

The confusion was cleared up when we proved that actually was our senior midfield.

Reading between the lines:

I think Brad Green was responsible for this blunder. As usual North were on top of it and sorted it out internally. It should be left at that. If the AFL want more they can have Goldstein.

Probably helps prevent draft tampering is my guess. It is part of the reason why clubs are not allowed to get involved in junior development outside of limited academies and the like.

There should be a 3-way battle between GG, yourself and Ozzy.

Thank you. That's not nearly enough. 160 of those were during the trade period and it clearly didn't work.

No, that training thing is where all the AIS academy kids do pre-season placements with clubs for a couple of weeks.

It's also unfair on the players if taking time out to train with one or more clubs becomes a de facto requirement. That's why combines exist - to save players from multiple rounds of beep tests, interviews, etc as well as giving clubs a convenient place to have them all together.

Interestingly doing your placement at any club automatically qualifies you for Sydney Swans academy selection eligibility.
