Pick 1...
Maybe the GC academy due to all the clubs & partying can end in 2029Had not thought of that.
Formed in 2011-12, Suns and Giants F/S should not be too far away.

Really, Freo have been in n the comp 30 years and haven’t had a FS from the AFL players. Peak was because his dad played for WAFL team east Freo. Ed Allen didn’t qualify despite his farther being the inaugural captain, coach, and Board member for the AFL team but didn’t play the magical 100 games.Had not thought of that.

The Dockers boys need to get over the target a bit more often and up their game.
Can't help it if the universe aligns and we get a premiership and f/s in the same year.
AFL, like life is not fair.
IMO, as a Sydney supporter, you should be supporting any leg up the teams outside of Victoria get, as we are already starting behind the 8 ball.

What's the population of NSW and Qld in comparison to SA....and how does the population work with Victoria divided by the number of clubs given the NSW teams and Qld only get divided by the 2 teams?

Nah. I hate the draft being so compromised and happy with most of the changes being brought in next year.
I like the notion of fathers and sons playing at the same club but have never understood the reasoning behind the 20% discount. I say, if for example Brisbane want Ashcroft they can match a bid for him but pay the full price.
The club I feel most sorry for is the Giants. Each year they lose multiple players wanting to return home or play in front of decent sized crowds and they have no access to father sons.
We got this key forward kid coming up in the 2027 draft…Keep father/son for the tradition and romance of it, but I would be for getting rid of all the club run/based academies... the AFL run and fund them and the players go into the open draft pool.
Not until we get Sam Marshall, Ryan Gilder, Ty Gallop, Daniel Annable and Raphael Geesu though.
Are you going to name names briz?
Really should factor in the 4 NRL clubs here in QLD, and the 1 rugby union club, because they’re all drawing from the same junior pool.
Plus Melbourne Storm have their academy in QLD and recruit QLD kids.
Then there are 10 NRL teams in NSW/ACT plus 2 Rugby Union teams.
It’s not like AFL is the only/main footy code in the Northern States. We’re not even the main footy code in schools yet. Aussie rules is a summer sport up here in schools, so it doesn’t clash with kids league and union commitments during winter.

The amount of NGA in the northern academies v FS is a different ball park.

Can someone please clarify how the new academy/father son rules will apply next season. My question is how clubs with multiple academy/& or father son players in one round match bids?
As an example Gold Coast will have a possible 2 or 3 first round worthy academy players next year - will they have to have 3 x 1st round picks to match bids on those players? Or will holding 1 x 1st round pick qualify them to match all the bids?

In the case of that, clubs won't be able to match multiple players. Because it'll be too expensive
If Lions had Ashcroft and Marshall next year instead of 2025, then unlikely they could get both unless they traded out a player.

So what you are saying the club/s will need to have equivalent round picks to match the bids? As an example Freo could match 3 x players in the 1st round this year...

Its a bit complicated, but suppose its possible if you have multiple first rounders. But if you dont, then you'd have an issue
Given the reduced discount and the new points index.
So for a club you'd hope you only have 1 player in the first round.

The changes arent just about points but are they - isnt there a rule where a club has to hold an equivalent pick in the round to match a bid? Obviously to prevent clubs trading out early picks for points.

No, that was just a possibility. But that's not the case now.
discount has been reduced to 10% for next year, and the points index has been changed, 1,000 points been shaved off and no points allocated to picks after 50 I think. So clubs cant stockpile late picks next year to match bids. So likely matching bids you'll need picks in the first and second and third round.

Points only go down to end of 3rd round now, so you can still stockpile later picks to match bids, but they won’t be absolute junk picks we have seen previously, GC won’t be able to trade 1x top 10 pick into so many junk picks they can match 3x 1st round bids like they did last year because teams will be more reluctant to trade away 2nd and 3rd rounders than they were 4th rounders.

TOP GUNS OUT OF COMBINE TESTING
A NUMBER of high-end talents will be sidelined from testing at this week's Telstra AFL Draft Combine, which begins on Friday at the MCG.
There will be 67 prospects attending the Combine, with testing starting on Friday afternoon with the 2km time trial. A skills session will also take place on Saturday at the AIA Centre before athletic testing – such as agility, sprints and jumps – take place at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre on Sunday.
Levi Ashcroft's shoulder surgery this week adds him to the list of top-end draft hopefuls to be sitting out of the Combine, with fellow top-10 talents Sam Lalor (hamstring), Sid Draper (back) and Murphy Reid (ankle) also not going to test.
Isaac Kako is coming back from ankle surgery so will also not test, as won't Cooper Hynes, who carried an ankle concern late in his season.
Xavier Lindsay's PCL knee injury that prematurely ended his draft campaign will keep him out of taking part in the tests, while a hip issue will mean Sandringham Dragons prospect Luke Trainor won't take part in the testing. – Callum Twomey
