I know I should laugh at this but I hate this stupid campaigner and the bush league that allows people like him to be relevant.

EXTRAORDINARY compensation.

Not for us - but might explain why Freo were so keen on Port's F1. And as its this guy posting it, I am thinking there is merit to it.

 

[Smoooothy]

Yup. Bartlett hates us and hates that we've read this one perfectly. Pick 19 for a lad with a long-term injury and we've effectively replaced is damn fine.

not just 1 long term injury either - has a documented history since junior footy

at 26 he's now missed 3 full seasons - thats a lot

Might be 200 games but it's from 5 SANFL teams not 1 VFL team

yes correct, I made that point in a subsequent post

 

[Mostyn]

From Chris Davies. Cant disagree with some of it as the Northern Academies are getting out of hand. Wonder if our 2 FS have anything to do with it also..

PORT Adelaide head of football Chris Davies has called for a review of the AFL's father-son system, suggesting Victorian clubs have an unfair advantage.

Davies told Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio the Power "can't believe" a father's games threshold is 200 games in the SANFL compared to 100 for a Victorian club in order for their son to qualify as a father-son.

"The AFL have got some decisions to make with regard to what they want the draft to actually look like, whether it be issues about the northern academies, father-son situation," he said.

"To us, we still can't believe it's 100 games in the VFL and 200 games in the SANFL.

"I think it should (change). The AFL have got some real decisions to make right now.

"This year and the next few are going to be highly compromised." - Owen Leonard

Are there still players coming through with SANFL qualification? Surely the Michelanneys are the last

 

[Scorpus]

Lachie Schultz is another one of those contracted player trades where Fremantle would be mad to trade him

Their forward line is trash

 

[Mostyn]

As someone else mentioned, he thinks North possibly getting band 1 for McKay is BS too

He actually said that North should be stripped of draft picks for doing so badly, not given priority picks. Thinks bad clubs shouldn't be rewarded for staying bad.

A terrible idea that I think is delicious.

Yeah he will start next season at age 27 and only have played 82 games, he won't add to that hugely next season either, Michalanney will probably pass that figure before he is 22.

Port have a few extra years on us in having access to SANFL sons. I'm happy for it to be 100 games but only players who play for the Port Magpies, not the other SANFL clubs, they have access to 5 SANFL clubs so 200 gamers seems fair.

 

[Mostyn]

He literally says this in a separate tweet lol

Something along the lines of, 'If Doedee gets pick then McKay has to get pick 3.' Does qualify saying he doesn't like it, but it is thinly veiled.

Well, to be fair it probably does mean that.

Is Burton working for them now?

And Brisbane before that

Wait a second - was Schultz the ‘Victorian out west’ that the Ormond-Allan guy was referencing?

Almost starting to seem worse:

Neale (Bris), Cerra (Carl), Weller (GCS), Langdon (Melb), Logue (North), Hill (St K), Henry (St K), Lobb (WB), Acres (Carl)

Hogan (do you count Hogan? - GWS)

You would think so. But MM was a huge surprise in itself so lets hope there are some virile old SANFL legends still living large (so to speak)

Duursma officially has requested a trade to Essendon

Meek and Tucker also.

Damn didn't realise the Freo exodus was that bad!! How do we get multiple articles written about us for this type of thing and haven't heard a peep from the media questioning them??

 

[Crow-eater]

Goldstein to Essendon officially lodged. Looks like no compo for North with this deal. Fair, considering Goldstein is as old as time.

Gresham looks set to land there very soon as well. Him and Duursma seem like classic Dodo inclusions in his last hurrah.

Ugh North are gonna try trade those bullshit 2024 compensation picks for pick 10 aren’t they

We should be telling North we want all of their end of 1st round picks for pick 9 whilst then doing a deal with GC to get pick 10 and banking extra 2024 1sts in the process
