AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Port Adelaide, Corn's old club, suffers like the rest of us.Well Il be damned. Corn agrees with the prez
Get ready for it, they will bring these changes in just when we will be in the same position as Collingwood and Brisbane with the Riewoldt boys etc
Totally understand its not a fair system but i doubt anyone on here or at the club would have even raised the issue if Plugger and Spud had 7 boys instead of 7 girls
Then Steele would be a hypocrite as he refused to mention Battle in his speech last nightI still think there's a possibility that our skipper is in different colours next season and Brayshaw, Callaghan and maaaaaybe Sean Darcy are in Saints colours.
Split 8 into two later firsts
Those two later firsts and a future first for Brayshaw, Darcy and something else coming back
Steele goes back home to Canberra for Finn with other picks involved.
Still leaves us with a top 10 for the draft.
Freo will need future firsts for Chad - maybe even for this year, not to mention salary off their books if they're getting Chad, Bolton and maybe Kosi
I don't think Steele is Rossys type of guy nor Ross is Steeles flavour - they can sell it well enough by saying that Jack's always had a pull to return home and vise versa for Callaghan.
IN: Brayshaw, Darcy, Callaghan
Out: Steele, P8, Future First
In principal, but wouldn't work though in the end. Peter Bell types would just hold the pick hostage asking for the universe.Think of it like this.
Forget who is going #1 this year. Richmond have the #1 pick, and a team wants that pick. What would Richmond trade the #1 pick away for?
That's the fair price, and nothing less.
And that's the point. If we had a player how is son of a 100 game player who was an Ashcroft type, we should pay for that player.If one of those boys is a top 5 pick. Then he will be worth the assets required to take him

What you are saying is completely rational, but I for one absolutely believe the AFL is capable of being that petty.It isn’t a new battle.
We have been saying this stuff all season.
So if they are giving us band 2 per your reasoning then that was decided months ago and not because of last night.

I reckon something like get within 5 picks (and make up rest with later picks). That makes 5 clubs from which one might negotiate fairly. The nominating club misses the player, chooses the next best, then gets the pick within 5 from the other team. Would encourage teams to nominate earlier.
There may be huge holes in this plan, but better than having to get that particular pick off one club imo.
He actually isn’t afraid to say something against the afl. Unlike Edmonds who just tows the party line. I’m still baffled that some journos don’t actually know the real workings of the academy and fs system. Need more cornsI rate Kane Cornes. He plays a role to some degree, but most of his takes are pretty dead on IMO.

So Brisbane wouldn't get Levi Ashcroft, but instead the best player in the draft would go to the worst team? Sounds fine to me.
Brisbane just won the premiership, and will get the best player in the draft and give up nothing to get him. If you are happy with that, then a small part of you (that you probably deny) is happy with St Kilda being trampled on.
The system is inherently unfair, the Father-Son rule cannot be "fixed", and Bassatt's rhetoric about a fair price is just an admission of the reality of the situation.
The Buckley situation (he played a year for Brisbane before getting to Collingwood) would be better. Richmond should get Levi Ashcroft or fair compensation for not getting him.
Some of his takes are dead on. The ones that stare you straight in the face.
When it comes to game day analysis however he's about the worst in the business. Very surface level
He's carved out a niche as an agitator. Don't mind him to be honest.

I don't mind him when he sticks to his strengths and talks on the area's he understands. Its not his role as an agitator that bugs me.
But blatantly making up fake stats like he did about Max King or trying explain game plan issues he bugs me.
Personally, I have no issue with father son selections, it's the cost which is the rort.
I think if Brisbane had to trade pick 18 & their F1, maybe also a player for a top 5 or 10 pick to pay for Levi - it would feel like a fairer system. If they want him bad enough, they'd make the trade work. In that scenario, there is still the romance of having access to a father son, you just don't get them for next to nothing.
As for the academies, as much as I dont believe they should exist, the cost should be the same - within 5 or 10 picks of their selection.
