Who owns the mess at Brisbane?

[Viceregal]

Brisbane's 2024 premiership spine:

FB: Harris Andrews (academy)
CHB: Jack Payne (academy)
C: Will Ashcroft (father son)
CHF: Joe Daniher (father son)
FF: Eric Hipwood (academy)

Quite handy to have exclusive access to talent of this calibre. If only the AFL didn't take away our Riverina zone...

FB: Harris Andrews (academy) Pick 61 (and had played his junior career as a forward)

CHB: Jack Payne (academy) Pick 54

C: Will Ashcroft (father son) Pick 2 (via competition wide F/s rules)

CHF: Joe Daniher (father son) Pick 10 (via competition wide F/s rules) BY ESSENDON - moved to Brisbane under the Free Agency rules netting the Dons Pick 7

FF: Eric Hipwood (academy) Pick 14

So what you are saying is that Brisbane have done really well at developing talent

Of course we will ignore the pretty much universal opinion around the traps that Brisbane would never win a Flag with Hipwood and Daniher in the team prior to Brisbane winning a flag with them in both in the team!

I know it’s not part of the thread, but also the fact we couldn’t win with them both out of the team either..

These couple of whingers and the half dozen Geelong fans still watching this thread and too scared to get involved are viewing a total owning by the Lions’ faithful and a few rational non Lions fans. Totally loving this show.

Wait, are we talking FS again, or academies? What is your actual argument? Do other teams not get access to FS? Or academies?

What does draft or finals success have to do with anything?? You’re all over the shop.

It's a tough one - we want to suggest that it's AFL rigging that makes you guys better than us at the moment, so we have to mix together your father son guys with your academy guys and ignore that early pick academy players aren't a significant part of your success. Thus we pretend that your father sons were academy guys and also include Joey Daniher - as he was a father son too - which is basically an academy guy.
