The AFL has made a complete mess of the draft allowances for these two new Clubs.

The clear spirit of the mini-draft picks and the like was to force the new Clubs to draft established, decent, 23-27 year old players - not load up on youth even more than they already have.

Would be stupid by Melbourne IMO - they need new players now; not bottom aged kids who can't play for another year.

Another AFL stuff up!

How many high draft picks do Melbourne need?! The charity they get is absolutely ridiculous. Getting Hogan will justify ANOTHER mediocre year in 2013 and they'll get MORE high drafts picks then. It's an ever continuing cycle of mediocrity. It's about time the AFL stopped rewarding it.

Wow, we did bloody well to get a mini draft pick last year.

Can't believe GWS will trade themselves into picks 1, 2 and 3, nice work AFL HQ...

Gold Coast got a huge ride, but GWS are halfway to the moon!!

The AFL have a shocking track record with regards to coming up with a plan with the "intent" of it doing something, only for it blow up in their faces. GWS weren't meant to target youngsters like Scully/Davis. They were meant to use mini draft picks to top up with mature list fillers to make them more competitive. Channel 7 were meant to show footy in HD, and were meant to use their exclusive rights to show all the teams on Thursday night at a reasonable time. But nothing was mandated, so they just do whatever the hell they want.

The AFL are such amateurs when it comes to this stuff.

Gee this thread is getting absolutely off track. Can we please stick to the topic.

What is the topic? Tippett has left, there's not much more to discuss.

The dominos are falling, it's very much relevant to what's going to happen in the Tippett situation.
 
OMG Hutchy is such an idiot. Still dismissing any hints from Terry Wallet that this go home agreement doesnt exist.

Ok.. Hutchy just said again we will be lucky to get pick 22.. In the current climate, we are lucky to get that, Sydney don't have to offer anything according to him..

And that we have an agreement to trade him to where he wants, no matter what..
Hutchy right now is screaming out for a punch in the face, what a tosser..

Now works for iPhone. Need to go through the AFL app, and into the News | Off Season section.

Yep. It works on iPhone 4. Get the AFL app. If you already have that, you need to upgrade it, no cost.

Edit. They are bloody irritating and you might be tempted to smash the phone. So there is a risk ;)
 
How about we come up with a new name for "the player who has asked to be traded to Sydney"? Honestly, I am sick of hearing his name, and I am sure the Crows are as well. It would be nice to hear some other club news for once.
I have used Boofhead a couple of times, but I am open to suggestions.
 
Toumpas should be high on our list of draft targets, so why not try and get as early a pick as possible?

If Sydney play hard ball and only offer us pick 22 and Brisbane are prepared to pay Kurt close to his Sydney price. Would we take Brisbane's pick 23 and Callum Bartlett as I don't reckon Brisbane will give up pick 8.

Open the AFL app. There's a news tab. Top news item is the story with the QuickTime player.

Andrew Ireland reckons Tippett will be on less at the swans than what he was here? Wtf?

If you listen to the whole interview, it sounds like boofhead's contract will be back-loaded.

The only way Brisbane will get in the frame is if pick 8 is involved.

Sydney want Tippett, pick 22 and a player will be their starting offer and it'll move on from that.
