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...
Pick 10 plus Davis compo pick (pick 20 it will be this year) for mini draft pick last year.. Plus Luke Brown :):thumbsu:

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.

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.

Yes they certainly don't understand 'unintended consequences'... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

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

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.

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.

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.
