It should be this way anyway IMO, like the NBA & NFL.What I fear is what we may be tempted to do…

AFL CONSIDERS EXPANDED FUTURE TRADING
THE AFL will seriously consider allowing clubs to trade multiple years into the future as part of the League's all-encompassing competitive balance review.
As Inside Trading reported last week, clubs had been hopeful of winning greater flexibility to complete trades as part of the League's review into player movement mechanisms, with expanded future trading among the changes expected to be introduced.
Since 2015, clubs have been able to trade one year in advance with a series of guardrails in place. However, the AFL is now considering allowing teams to trade picks two or three years from the time of the deal, with the potential to bring in the change to this off-season.
Speaking to AFL.com.au's trade and draft show Gettable this week, the League's head of football performance, list management and engagement Ned Guy said it was among the recommendations being considered.
"There's a good chance we go down that path," Guy said.
Stop protecting teams and make the clubs accountable for themselves, and don't help them if/when they f**k it up.
That's the only barrier here that would stop this from working, inevitable priority picks & support down the line when it goes wrong.
It's the clubs' decision, we already have a draft system that rewards incompetence.
If you want to punt on your future and it goes wrong, that's your decision, and you have to get yourselves out of it.
Would add an extra element to the game IMO, we'd find out even more who the well run clubs are, and the cream would truly rise to the top in that regard, as it should.
