After going to a couple of my nephew's footy games recently I 100% reckon parents are a lot more feral now at kids sport than back when I was playing junior sport in the late 80s/early 90s.
Some of the shit they were yelling a few weeks ago at the umpire in a game for 11 year olds was ****ing terrible
My kid's the same age and I just haven't seen it, outside a bit of moaning about the standard of umpiring (gotta teach the kids early). Mind you, I live south of the river, so maybe we're just classier.
 
lets pretend eagles do your idea and give graham 950k a season.

no doubt tigers would be happy, you get a pick 2 and no further consequences.

Now aside from the acquisition of graham and baker, imagine any other player on our list in the future using graham as a benchmark for their worth. It would have long lasting impact and do immense damage to our ability to keep players and keep the harmony on the list.

A truly awful idea.
Perverse actions always have unforeseen and unwanted consequences.

I'm sure location/suburb has a lot to do with it, social demographics etc..

The AFL set a rod for it's own back with McKay. They wanted North to have that band 1 compo in lieu of giving them priority picks, so they set the benchmark to ensure it happened. So we now have players who have never been AA, and wouldn't be considered top 10 for their position are getting Band 1. Just diabolical.

Didn't they get two end of Round 1 2024 Priority Picks anyway?

has pick purchasing been brought in yet? i know they've been talking about if for a few years and they allowed that bloody geelong jack bowes deal to happen. we need to get creative.
 
Can't wait for Keys to chip in about the time his parents confiscated his hoop and stick game for not finishing his bowl of liver with onions and he's never been the same since.

I don’t even know what a hoop and stick game is

And we were a tripe and brains house, not liver. Sometimes kidneys

Was the hoop invented? Barely had the wheel I heard.

I invented the wheel

The hoop, stick and his shoes were made of stone.

Stone shoes are good for kicking heads

I heard Keys' family portraits were etched into stone tablets.

Nah, just drawn on cave walls

Keys is basically 80

Counting isn’t your strong point is it

Ben Keays? Yes.

Keyser on the other hand is 91yo

Or yours

Keys dad was named Adam and his mum was named Eve

They were my kids names



Now **** the lot of ya
