Everything about the AFL ‘industry‘ is dodgy and convoluted. From the draft, to the rules on the run, to the fixture, to the many conflicts of interests in the ‘boys club’ inner sanctum. The AFL simply takes advantage of emotional attachment fans have to their club and does whatever it sees fit, bullshits to us, to keep the cash rolling in. We have been rubbish now for the 4th year in a row with no real light at the end of the tunnel. If the AFL can’t give North a hand in its current state then what’s the point in having draft assistance rules?
