Can't wait for clubs to be going to their catchment area, handing out some club hats to anyone with a parent born overseas and say, we will see you in 5 years.
Why not just loosen it?Eligibility for NGA needs to be tightened but this isn't a bad approach
In the long term I think only Vic clubs are set to lose out
such as?As I said its not just about you.
Plenty of other clubs have been shafted. Many of those who dont hold natural advantages the Demons hold.
They pushed for this. The other 14 clubs could have had no academy, the changes in points curve and limiting to 3 picks to match would make the Northern Academies fairer.Eligibility for NGA needs to be tightened but this isn't a bad approach

Because it's about development, not hording players for clubs.Why not just loosen it?
Everyone has academies and points matching is scaled to try and fix competitive balance.
With some incentive to invest specifically in people from diverse backgrounds
Seems fairer then the alternative

Because it's about development, not hording players for clubs.
Ensure a player has been in the academy for X amount of yrs, the club has actually developed them. No concern in them being matched.
Have a kid who only gets accepted into the academy a few months out from the draft, not cool with a club matching them
AFL can still run the academies and fund them? Don’t they sort of all ready do with the equalised distribution?
If you’re going open draft and not compromised. Father son goes too
FS is random and is available to 16 clubs, 19 in a generation.
Academies are exclusively for the benefit of 4 clubs only. Purely because the afl cannot afford to have these clubs do extended rebuild like Hawthorn and North have and Richmond and WCE are about to have.
Since the afl brought in the current system, there has been 6 top 10 FS picks and 9 top 10 academy picks.
Its a joke system that is set up massively in favour of only 4 clubs.
"But GF in melbourne". Fine. Hypothetically lets move it so every club gets a GF in their city every 19 years?
Not one club official or supporter of a northern club would give up their academies for a GF in their city every 9 years. No ****en way.
10 of 18 teams are Vic = 55%15 of the last 17 premiers are Victorian, and you are complaining.
Things that favour Vic teams

Come back when Vic teams win 2 premierships in 17 years, and I will listen.
10 of 18 teams are Vic = 55%
15 of 17 premiers are Vic = 88%
but
2 of 10 before your cutoff are Vic = 20%
17 out of the last 27 premiers are Vic = 63% which is not theat far off 55%

Brisbane had COLA from 1998 to 2006 and won 3 flags.Give Brisbane and Sydney back COLA and you can count them.
Starting from the 18 teams era make sense.
Not for living costs since we don't have pokies and they have to freight most of everything over here.Brisbane had COLA from 1998 to 2006 and won 3 flags.
Sydney had COLA from 1998 to 2014 and won 2 flags.
So in 16 years 5 flags were won by COLA teams and you want to hand it back to them?
PS: Perth is cheaper than Melbourne. Should Freo have a negative COLA?
Not for living costs since we don't have pokies and they have to freight most of everything over here.
Property prices held over the last 10 years with supply but there's a huge resurgence and a catch up occurring.
It's pretty close besides Sydney.Not even close.
Cost of living is majorly based on leveraged debt. Of which rent and home ownership is intrinsically linked.
Sydney and Melbourne are the two highest cost of living states for this reason.
Has the 20% discount been removed?
This needs to occur asap, will be shocked if they do not do this, this year
Mate, Laura Kane is in charge, getting rid of the 20% discount is so simple to do, you just send an email to 18 clubs, done! But Laura F Kane is incapable of doing something so simple, she's proving to be worse than useless!Has the 20% discount been removed?
