Um what about landing another 1st to get Robertson or Rivers?

Would you give a "flying ***" about that?

Kelly will cost one 2019 1st so don't kid yourself.

I would trade Petro to land a quality mid.
A bird in the hand and all that .

I would rather trade our 1st + future 1st for kelly and 2nd . Thats the going rate for quality mids .

Then trade 24 + a 2nd for a top 15 pick which works about right .

Geelong can **** off as 'we dont want to make a contender stronger '
 
Didn't you know? The VFL were gracious enough to allow us to have about 7 less players on our list.
Actually we had a squad of 35 while everyone else had 52 players. We had to pony up closer to $4 mill to join the league. Had no home training facilities. Paid for other teams to travel to play us. And the state of origin team is bullshit, we had limited access to WAFL players (a max of 5 from each WAFL team) and the Vic teams told all their WA players they were voting against a WA team and signed them all before we existed.

Yourmumlovesbigcox you need to go and learn your own club’s history.

Don't forget we could only receive max 5 WA players who were currently playing in VFL, and no more than 1 from each club. North Melbourne had a chunk of WA players and we could only get 1 (Glendinning)
 
He's gone, part of Darwin zone. Seems like they can sign him pre draft. This is fcked.

Your guessing that.

How can a club be awarded a zone and on the same day sign up players as academy players for the draft in a few weeks?

If the player was already signed up and actively being developed no problem.

But its the AFL, they do what they like.

Oh and I will say I suggested some time ago the Suns should align with the NT. Now they have the zone and have already indicated they will be playing away games in Darwin next season with the Dees playing in Alice.

Suns to be re-branded the Northern Suns at some stage was another suggestion I had.

Territory Thunder just folded so just watch all the good younger Thunder lads playing for the Suns in the NEAFL next season too.

Article I read outlined it like below, they can pre sign academy players without bidding.

ACADEMY ACCESS

The Suns will also receive expanded academy player access for three years, which includes:

— Provision of the Darwin region as an academy zone.

— Ability to pre-sign Suns academy players (including those from Darwin) without bidding

— An increased rookie list of up to 10 players

As much as I would hate to lose talent, if we want to rebuild our midfield we have to give up picks and/or talent.

Whats Petruccelle's value and who would be interested in trading for him?

The Bulldogs will have their hands full with Keath and Bruce. Carlton have Papley apparently locked in. North?

Alternatively, do we try and rotate him through the midfield from the HFF and see if he can play that role?

Is that this year or starting next year?

Northern Suns makes sense. NT is way too small to have a stand alone team. A team with no set city that can cover NT and QLD would probably be a good idea. Play at Metricon with a few games in Darwin.

Nope.

2019 1st round and 2020 1st round.

Petrucelle is worth more then a 2020 1st round to me. 2020 draft will be comprised as hell.

Considering Rioli's situation, our midfield and the awesome recent impacts of players getting another go or being drafted later on, I'd be for Bennell getting a spot on out list.

If you want to pay a person to sit on a list and not contribute you can pay me. I'll accept less than what Bennell wants.

Considering what's happening with Rioli, it just shows how much extra benefit there was blooding Cameron this year. Whilst they aren't the same exact type of player they'll fill a similar position on the team sheet.

I was talking about consessions which lasted about 4 years . In 1987 us and brisbane came into the comp and the VFL gave brisbane the first draft as we had a much bigger talent pool in WA .
Consession 1 - We started with an established team
Consession 2 we had WA zone picks
Consession 3 we had pre draft picks for 3 years
Concession 4 we had wafl father/son picks

Add to that the WA country lads that we picked up late as we hid young talent .

By the time our consessions were up we pretty much had a state of origin team

Better than what gold coast got for sure . They are also in an afl wasteland and their academies have produced bugger all compared to our original zone picks .

Then the main difference and the biggest concession is unlike GC we are not owned by the AFL

Thats the big reason we paid such a high price

Yeah I agree, but where the depth? Venners maybe?
