National Draft 23 - after this year we all need therapy

[_RT_]

My head absolutely agrees but my heart loves the father son rule and seeing generational lines play at the same club

But unfortunately it absolutely does erode at the integrity of the draft system

Maybe they could just give clubs the ability to trade for father sons on draft night or something

No concessions or anything just a deal made between the club that selected the player and the club who has the link
If a deal can be made fantastic but if they can’t make one work bad luck

Father sons can be done like the past. Interested clubs bid on them before the trade period and the club with rights to the kid must use their equivalent pick in the draft.

For example Swans bid on Croft last night, so rated him as a R1 pick. If they bid the same before the draft the Dogs R1 pick this year is then forfeited and can't be traded, benefit idls that Croft could join the Dogs immediately. Takes away any stress for the kids and ensures fair price is paid.

With academy kids you could do similar, bid before the trade period and the equivalent pick is forfeited, if a club has multiple players like Gold Coast this year, they forfeit the same pick for each following year. So in this instance Suns would lose their R1 pick for the next 4 years, or they are required to trade for 3 more R1 picks in this current draft.

Are we picking in the rookie draft?

 

[Lacustrus]

What do you mean? There’s a Sanchez for christs sake

His destiny is to be bigfooty’s greatest whipping boy …

 

[Lsta062]

Also, what’s the knock on Lachlan Charleson? Looks like a small forward that posted some decent numbers for GWV Rebels. He even kicked 8.4 in one match.

Sounds like he’ll be a late pick/rookie pick at best.

 

[tiger_tough]

is shcoenmaker related to the ex dawks spud ?

Considering they have different last names, I doubt it. That was Ryan Schoenmakers

Are we picking in the rookie draft?

We'll have 2 spots. Probably take one in the rookie draft and leave one open for a train on SSP selection I'd say.

 

[Grrr]

I blame the late gen X ers and early millennials.

Why don't you take a day off school and protest.

 

[HumanMeatball]

Nothing more certain than us not picking a foward and everyone melting

You can only pick from what's there. Better off with a small than another Bradtke.

I don’t really get why we have 4 picks inside 60 but only plan to use 2. Surely we would at least trade those picks 55 and 57 for something next year.

No one would want them. They're only expecting about 60 picks to be taken. as far as trade value goes, they're worthless.

Who with? A lot of clubs out of the draft at that stage.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Having a look at a few players that are available.

Zakostelsky has a bit to like about him.

Spesh his name!

all the drafts these days are 5-6 good players and the rest are what would be vfl hacks that shouldnt even have chance at afl footy but do becuase of diluted talent pool

 

[Coach_Required]

I think it's because it's cheaper for a club to wait until to rookie draft, I might be wrong but you don't have to offer 3-year contracts to rookies.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Last night was depressing.

Watching the top 30 picks without a Richmond one for the 2nd year in a row was bad. Hartley has mortgaged our future.

We could of had Dan Curtin Last night and another gun last year also

 

[Coach_Required]

How great is it to wake up today knowing we have pick 7.

I'm excited.

 

[Cotchy9]

Any prospects of Freijah moving into the midfield? Geez he’s look a silky smooth mover and kick. Just all outside work though. But elusive and nice height. Wouldn’t be disappointed with him

 

[Frank Grimes]

Geeze they really need to sort out the academy bidding system
Maybe only being able to use two picks to match a bid or something along those lines

Forces the club to at least try secure capital close to the player being bid on instead of using a handful of picks that wouldn’t of been used anyway

Don't worry there will be a time of where we will in a position to take advantage of that too. That's when the AFL will step in and change it.

Seriously though. It should be that for the top 10 picks the bid should cost 20% more in draft points rather than a discount. Anything after pick 10 it should be equal draft points for the pick.

The fact a team has bidding rights is the award/benefit in itself.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

dumma copped more number ones in one night than he copped in his whole 13 years at Richmond

golden shower?

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Simpson / Edwards is my wish after 2 hours of utube research

we pay campaigners a good chunk of our soft cap as full time recruiters when we can accomplish the same in one youtube sitting.

 

[sregit]

Morris and Simpson is our ideal haul imo. Both could be absolute guns.

My choices also. Would be happy to get one of them. Ollie Murphy would be a good get also.

 

[tigerdan]

someone said that there are half the amount of kids playing afl than there was in 2005

this sport is going down thanks to the corrupt cfl

Its because Indians dont let their kids play contact sports.

Yeah, I’m spewing we are not entering 2024 with a midfield of Prestia, Hobbs, Bolton, Graham, Sonsie and Dow…. really could’ve done some damage.

We need to get Reid at all costs. Not satisfied one bit with our key forwards. An injury prone Lynch and then Kosi? If reid is gone, surely we go Morris if he is there. He looks like he plays taller, similiar to Jack.

Read is a cat. Soft at the contest. I hope we go for Morris.

 

[smasha]

CFL trade show could not help to put in a dig.

"What do they do tonight?" reffering to clubs not in the R1 draft.
