Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

[knaf]

like the 2025 draft thread, but rort??
some humility people.

Short memories.

Go home 5. Des Headland, Rory Hilton, Shane OBree, Buckley, Schache. There’s 10 we’ve lost.

I wrote a piece recently about the players GWS have lost.

Academy in recent years????
Marshall. Annable next year. hardly a rort.

Media jump on this forum from time to time.

Use of the word rort will only fuel their fire to wind back academy concessions.

Cringe.

Yes we're treating the idea that the academies rort the system with the level of importance it deserves

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Surely seeing the word "rort" in the thread title is thought of as jocular instead of anything serious.

 

[martinson]

The only people hating on rorts are those not in on it.

There is no better feeling than pulling off a rort.

You'll hear the mighty rort.

The worm has certainly turned.A few years ago we were becoming a permanent feeder club to our betters in Melbourne.They were happy with whoever we drafted as they were confident they could steal them away.No more!More power to the rort.

Don’t let that St Kilda dude get a sniff of our rorts
Mind you they didn’t select their own Academy players

I can't stand graft & corruption when I'm not a beneficiary of it.

You genuinely think the media is paying attention to a thread??

[Viceregal]

Academy rort ... MCG GF rort ... gather round rort ... NGA rort ... family positions rorts etc etc etc

The rort is in the eye of the beholder but bringing the concept of rorting into the forefront might not be a bad thing

 

[Mr Ripper]

Oh
Rort a beauty
I’ve never seen one as big as that before

We assume the AFL Administration makes decisions based purely on what is right for the future of the game around Australia and to eventually reach other countries.

NO - The AFL Administration, especially now are as woke as any organisation has ever been. The AFL Administration make decision based on 'keeping the peace' or 'not rocking the boat' their decisions are all about being Inclusive.

The Northern academies make perfect sense if your growing the game in non-AFL states but if your being inclusive and keeping the peace you wind them back and not upset the Victorians.

I get what you’re saying but if you think #VICBIAS media need any extra motivation to create fake moral panics over equalisation measures, then you’re quaintly naive

“I fought the rort but the…the rort won!”

 

[beatnik]

“May the rort be with you”

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

I've rorted everywhere man, rorted the desert bare man , breathed the rorted air man, come on now let me tell you man.
I've rorted
Collingwood
Fremantle
Gold Coast
Bulldogs
You get the rort man
Chorus
Everybody.
I've rorted everywhere man.
Rorted the dessert bare man.
I hope you are all singing.
Breathed the rorted air man
Come on now let me tell you man.

Okay back to work.

 

[MSB ROYS]

I may as well join in...

The 2024 draft was a real rip rorter.

I’m so confused. The AFL is woke because it might not keep the Northern Academies around because of Vic complaints?

That’s such a woke take
