too early to say.
We were stalking Nick when he was still in nappies. That's the barometer. If you've hit puberty without us posting videos - forget about it. Mustn't be any good.too early to say.
He'll be U16 next year, so we'll get some idea.
I mentioned this to a work colleague who is a bomber supporter I was looking at going. He told me to get a life. To put it into context, this is someone who comes to work talking about mafsIf you are free tomorrow afternoon (Saturday), come down to Windy Hill @ 2:15pm to watch Tommy in the Keilor GF.
To be fair I would rather watch MAFS than Essendon and I hate MAFS.I mentioned this to a work colleague who is a bomber supporter I was looking at going. He told me to get a life. To put it into context, this is someone who comes to work talking about mafs

Hopefully because he’ll be the next KPP we draft
I was trying to say your work colleague is an Essendon supporter so anything is better than Essendon, even talking about MAFS which is a very bad TV show.Essendon aren’t playing, it is local footy

I think there’s a strong possibility next year that northern clubs will only be able to afford to match 1-2 high end prospects. We could see a lot more academy players being drafted by different clubs now, which is how it should be.Across the changes, around 10,000 points have been shaved off the DVI in the new system, including taking away points for any pick after No.54. Under the previous system, points were attached to picks through to No.73.
The No.1 pick value will remain at 3000 points but there will be a steeper drop-off in points thereafter. From picks 2-10, all of those picks are worth at least 100 points fewer in next year's model, while that gap grows as the draft goes on.
Pick 20 in the current model is worth 912 points and in the new model will be worth 757 points. Pick 30 in the current model garners a club 629 points but in the new model will have only 454 points attached to it.
By pick 40, the gap is almost at 200 points – this year will be the last time it is worth 429 points and next year it has been assigned 238 points.
This has all been done so clubs are not able to match bids by stocking up on middle-range draft picks, with the AFL keener for them to have to pay fairer price for father-son and Academy players. It will also make it far more difficult next year and beyond to match multiple bids on players within the same draft without going into a points deficit.
To that end, the AFL looked closely at the 'matching zone' of the draft, where clubs had typically stocked up on picks and points to match on prospects between pick 29 and 46. In that part of the draft alone, nearly 3500 points have been taken out of the new DVI.
The change in points system for 2025 will have an impact on this year's Trade Period and Telstra AFL Draft, with club list bosses and recruiters having to navigate future picks worth a different value to this year's draft selections.
Gold Coast will be one club in that boat, given the Suns have a No.1 pick contender – midfielder Zeke Uwland – tied to their Academy for next year as well as a number of other exciting talents.
Brisbane's Daniel Annable and Sydney's Lachie Carmichael, Noah Chamberlain and Max King also shape as potential Academy selections next year, while Collingwood father-son prospect Thomas McGuane, son of former Magpie Mick, has shown exciting signs playing with the Western Jets this year and will also be in the club's planning for 2025.
Isaac Waller (Brisbane), Koby Evans (West Coast) and Hussien El Achkar (Essendon) are other Academy players with ties next year.
It means as clubs are throwing in future picks for deals, they will be working on a different points economy to this year's draft, adding another element to the upcoming trade frenzy.
