draft nomination

[Weaver]

sigh, fellas it costs $1500 I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT!

Here's a free decimal point for you .

Put it between the 1 and the 5 like this $1.500. A buck fifty for an envelope and stamp and you are close to the mark.

I was pretty sure there was a condition to being drafted...

Wasnt that a player mustve played at least one game at WAFL/SANFL/TAC/AFLQ senior, reserve or colts level to be drafted??

I think the reasoning was to prevent clubs from hiding away promising players before draft day??

Anyone confirm/Disagree?

Yes this is true.
For SA, you must haved played at least 1 game in the SANFL league/reserves/u19's or u17s.
The same goes for the respective leagues in the different states.

 

[atpp]

when are nominations due?

 

[Moosehead]

i wonder if you can bribe a club to pick you up in the draft

 

[MJ101]

i wonder if you can bribe a club to pick you up in the draft

and im sure they'd accept and just love having to pay you 30,000+ for the next two years.............

Yeah, of course you can. It happens all the time.

Umm ......... How old are you?

 

[Flying Joey]

plus a mate of mine goes to school with sam elliot and he said the same thing...might be a SANFL thing

no he doesnt and he wouldnt want u calling him a mate.. sam ddnt have to pay anything as, if u werent telling porkies, u would no he was nominated by one of the clubs that nominated him for the draft camp.. sorry scott but i think u are wrong, which means i will nominate next year!! 10 times

My mate got drafted to Carlton from Wangaratta Rovers with Ovens and Murray being the highest level he played......

Is this a new rule?

 

[eddiesmith]

What about that player from the EFL last year?

What about that player from the EFL last year?

As a condition of entering the AFL, the SANFL and WAFL established a monopoly which the AFL agreed to. No player from those states can get drafted unless they have played at least one game (can be juniors) with a WAFL/SANFL club. This means that the WAFL clubs get a share of the transfer fees (which work out at about $30k per player over two years).

This is part of the licensing arrangements between the AFL and those leagues.

As for the other leages ... well it gets murkier.

At different times there has been the notion of 'affiliated leagues'. The VCFL is one of the leagues (Norman, N.Ablett, Vogels). The Ammos are one (although the AFL tried unsuccesfully to change that at one stage).

A guy like Gwilt was in a development squad with Sandringham but choosing not to play there. So either the VMFL is 'affiliated' or he was elligable as a TAC squad player.

The chances of the league refusing a nomination are about zilch no matter the club or league. It is mostly about having the paperwork in order for distributing the transfer fees. Making sure each of the junior clubs gets their slice of the pie.

It use to be anyone could nominate but it got to the stage where to many nobodies playing Timbucktoo seconds were nominating themselves as a big joke and clogging up the system with paperwork.

It now is as stated basically you have to be playing in the relative state leagues to nominate yourself.

IIRC if you are not part of these leagues and you still want to nominate for the draft you have to get an AFL club to second your nomination (or is it the AFL)

 

[AllBlacks60]

Signatures of approval have to be given by your previous club though, is this right? I seem to remember something about that when my mate went in the draft. I am pretty sure his coach had to sign to say he is worthy of nomination.

 

[McPhee]

it costs $100 not $1500 haha

 

[Mikes4]

it costs $100 not $1500 haha

$100 minus $100 is nothing. It costs nothing to nominate. Just the rule of playing at State League level outside of QLD or with an affiliated Victorian League. haha.

 

[johnson_26]

very informative post weaver, cheers for that!

as for, wats ur name, scrottum licker? why would a player have to pay for his nomination. if thatw ere the case, he'd have to pay for his flight up to the draft camp and the food and hospitality at the draft camp wouldnt he? why woudlk the afl fork out a free 3 day holiday to canberra for 75, 18 year olds. idiot.

all apart of the 'work experience'. dont no if uve ever applied for a job, but did you ever have to pay for ur job application?

 

[footyman]

My mate got drafted to Carlton from Wangaratta Rovers with Ovens and Murray being the highest level he played......

One guess who that is! Did he have an ex-mate called Laurence and is set for a season of GVFL at Mooroopna in 2006 because he wasted his talent?

 

[RooDog]

no he doesnt and he wouldnt want u calling him a mate.. sam ddnt have to pay anything as, if u werent telling porkies, u would no he was nominated by one of the clubs that nominated him for the draft camp.. sorry scott but i think u are wrong, which means i will nominate next year!! 10 times

he may not be calling scott mate but he did confirm to scott that you do have to pay.

mate you ahve to play an SANFL game to be nominated, this year you didnt even make the final squad for westies....

[Sidey_87]
