There is a hidden “discount” in the whole FS/NGA pick trading scenario also. Clubs get 20% (soon to be 10%) discount. But also, when they put their early pick up for auction (such at GC likely trading out 12 this year). All clubs out forward their best offer which is a higher value pick set than the single early pick. So they might gain 20% extra in pick value from the trade, and then get a 20% discount as well.
Force them to have a pick in the same round and only use 1 other max to make up the value.
Also no need for academies. AFL should just fund them and the kids go into the pool. Northern clubs can pick locals if they want to remove go-home factor. AFL can pay the northern clubs to run the academies if they want, but there’s no need to give them the access to the kids. They can come home in the future if they want and pay fair value.
What are we achieving in having GC pay for and run the academy when AFL owns GC anyway?
