2035 after he’s done winning multiple flags with Essendon

See you on the 9th green at 9
Will Essendon be playing him in the VFL?
My oh my. Seems like Harley didn't spend Christmas or holidays back in country Vic with his family.
Very unusual behaviour for a fella who was home sick during the season last year. Seems to me like Harley Reid grew up.
He's no longer home sick. He's just obsessed with Yaz. Whatever happens it will be Yaz/Harley making the decision together. Harley will go wherever Yaz goes
You should be deeply troubled going into 2025 if Harley doesn't once mention he was a Geelong supporter. He mentioned it all the time in 2024.
You dont scrap them.
You just make access to the talent for all clubs and the AFL funds them. Which it does anyway along with sponsors who identify AFL junior develipment as a good space to invest sponsorship dollars.
Clubs can get paid for any support they provide.
Not a difficult change to make. Would end the shenanagins compromising the draft.

Problem is clubs seem too selfinterested to agree to that system. Development without access to clubs knowledge and staff just seems infinitely harder.
The other way to make it fair is every club gets an academy. All get access to any player they develop and there is a better points curve to keep talent levels balanced
Personally I like an auction system.
Set it as teams get an amount of points based on their dominance that year.
Ie if you finish with a point differential of 0 and win 1/2 your games you get 2000 points. If you win 20 games with a point differential of say 15 you get 700 points and if win 1 game with a with a poor differential you get say 3500 points.
Teams have to draft 4 players. Clubs can’t re rookie players and teams can match academy bids with equal points.
