....Of the henhouse.

There's going to be a review of the draft rules.

But look at the clubs reprsented.

Three victorian teams who have most recently been fined for cheating (Ess, Carl, Melb) and Three interstate teams who just want to keep all their own youngsters.

Leaves Collingwood as the 'honest' brokers.

The Review Committee is Andrew Demetriou (AFL, Chairman), Rod Austin (AFL), Kevin Sheehan (AFL), Colin Carter (AFL Commission), Jeff Browne (Browne and Co), John Reid (Adelaide FC), Andrew Ireland (Brisbane Lions FC), Shane O'Sullivan (Carlton FC), Greg Swann (Collingwood FC), Matthew Drain (Essendon (FC), Neale Daniher (Melbourne FC), Colin Seery (Sydney FC), Trevor Woodhouse (West Coast FC), Ken Gannon (Football Victoria), Jeff Ovens (WAFC) and Robert Kerr (AFLPA).

Collingwood were fined over $100,000 last year for infringing player rules in 1997. So much for the honest broker. But what club hasn't been caught out?

AS for the draft committee, well, don't expect too much other than avoiding exam times and maybe allowing Essendon to start drafting 14 year olds.
