Yes, but recently WB have had gifts from both academy and FS under what is essentially the current system.

Oh for sure but that Fs haul set up this golden period for em

Bit rich coming from a club that has benefited from it for the last 5 years.

None have done as well as the Bulldogs, of the Victorian Clubs at least.

Ahhhh I agree, but thats still just a drop in the ocean compared to the northern states. The premiers have certainly reaped the rewards much much much more. They are dead set getting number 1 and plausibly number 15 for free in this years draft. Half their ****ing list is academy players.

The question is, why the **** are their academy players playing high level junior footy in our state?

What a ****ing sham.

Yes the dogs have reaped most benefit. But the call out needs to happen and it needs to stop.

A father son for example might want to play for their fathers club. Let the club that draft him reap the reward for a massive haul to get him there.

The whole thing hasn’t sat well with me when we were forced to take Luke Mcdonald

At least Bevo isn't complaining about it.

He always looks like he’s complaining.

Breaking - Joe Daniher has retired from the AFL, age 30.Walks away from a lucrative final year of his contract for 2025.One of the best key forwards in the game. Arguably the best fwd/ruck.Also keeps the ‘flag team to never play another game together again’ streak alive

The previous flip handed them Sanders also.

Even better on f/s.

We were a more talented side than them back in the day - but they've thrown much better progeny.

Did anyone hear Cornhole this morning calling Harry Sheezel stupid for signing a long term contract, because you won't see Harley Reid doing it, guess what bozo, might be a small percentage, but money is not the be and end all for everyone, i hope his manager or the club demands an apology.

Corrney, you won’t see Reid do it because he doesn’t want to stay at WC long term!!!

 

[Danni_Benson]

Perhaps Jack Riewoldt.

Gary Lyon has been asked to do it.

 

[Tas]

He was given the arse.

Chose not to go in for the last show.

“Gerard Healy, Dermott (Brereton). Jack Riewoldt sent me a message, that was really nice. Jack was with us seven, eight years,” he said.

“Jordan Lewis, I haven’t heard from Jordan, that’s disappointing.”

Not a surprise, shit bloke.

Jokes on West Coast! Luke McDonald's gone on to play 200+ and captain his club!!

I bet they’re still trying to recover from that..

 

[Gasometer]

This Board was pretty much on the LMac train in the weeks leading up to and on the day he was drafted. Go back and look.

Spring Carnival ambassador? The timing is spot on

 

[Hojuman]

HAHA ! You had 5 years Curtis. Good luck elsewhere mate, but you're not it.

Other clubs surprised we delisted you ?
Opportunity given, not taken.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

At least Bevo isn't complaining about it.

Yes I thought it was pretty obvious Bevo was having a dig at StKilda complaining.

You're not getting a regular game and you're out of contract. How hard is it for these blokes to put two and two together?

Also, I wonder if Sam Durdin is going to be as surprised to be delisted by Carlton after 2 games in 2 years as he was when we let him go. Probably.

You've been on the worst list in modern history for six years, you can't get a regular game, have no stand out attributes , have only been listed in the team's best players once in 76 matches and are out of contract.

If other clubs were surprised we delisted you it either means two mates who played for other clubs said to him, "Mate, you're unlucky. I'll shout the next round." Or two clubs said, "I'm surprised North didn't delist you sooner" on a bad phone line.

He’ll always have the ‘match winning’ performance against St Kilda infront pf no one in 2020…

Or the oppo clubs have become accustomed to North hanging onto rubbish players, at times making them captain.
