Have the Tiwi Islands as part of their next generation Academy Zone.
Dodgy buggers went straight to Tiger Country (Maurice Rioli) to try to snatch junior from us.
I will be inconsolable if Essendon poach him from us.

Any club can bid on an academy/father son prospect but the club of nomination has the choice to match it if they choose to do so.
Currently Essendon has pick 6, 41, 61, 69, 70 & 79. You'd expect them to get another 1st rounder for Saad, a 2nd rounder for Fantasia, at least a 2nd rounder for Daniher compo/trade. Plus potentially more to jump ship.
5 picks inside 41. Wouldn't be surprised to see them draft for needs/best available first couple picks then bid for MRJ with their 3rd, 4th or 5th. Just cos it's a Dodoro thing to do, especially with Mosquito out with an ACL....

I asked MRJ himself a couple of years ago if he was looking forward to coming to tigerland, said he can't wait!

Bloody ridiculous they are getting a first rounder for Saad,should be late teens at the most,can never be fair that club.

Essendon will try ,they are a dodgy club.
I think he's worth it personally. He's a gun. Not pick 7 though, that's too much. My guess is Carlton will trade 7 and 27 to cats for 15 and 16 then pass one of them to Dodo. Something like that.
If they know anything of list management they’ll be bolstering kpp with Daniher out And hurley and hooker over 30yo
exactly their list is way too much of a dumpster fire to try and play funny buggers with first round picks

Can’t see anyone bidding on Junior in the first round. I wouldn’t be surprised if a club bid in the second round but that may even be reaching, though he seems to be talked up the closer we come to the draft. Imo the bid will come in the late second but most likely the third round. I’d match wherever the bid comes. Wonder how he went at the combine (did he test?)

I don’t know if it is that simple
Dan has won two flags in that number now and has had it his own imo
Daniel has 2 premierships in the #17 and just needs a Norm Smith and will have passed Maurice so well deserved 
MRJ can just have a high number and take the #9 in 2-3 years

What's the point of father son if other clubs can bid? Ridiculous.
I think it's about paying a fair price. The club has the right to match any bid if they choose.
But I agree, should be a free swing like it used to be. Use you last pick for any eligible father-son picks, but keep bidding system for academy picks which is a rort.

It's up to MRJ. If he nominates Richmond then that cancels any rights Freo or Essendon have. They could nominate him but so could any club and therefore we would have the option to take him and it would be our call.

We love you too,Maurice junior.
Can someone please explain to me why Essendon would have any rights to Rioli at all? Did they actively contribute to his development both in time and money? Can anyone truly claim that he is a bona fide product of something that if it didn't exist there would be no discussion about him? Are the academies just the old country and metropolitan zones revisted? The first I heard of Rioli being a prospective Richmond player he was probably about 12? Fremantle I get, Fremantle makes sense, but Essendon, I just get my head around it?

All because of Dreamtime at the 'G. But Essendon's Top End academy is a sure fire way to destroy talent.
How did they go with developing (Hall's Creek prospect) Mosquito?
