The question I want answered is why do our players sire such soft**** kids? They've had talent but invariably they've been squibby little mothers boys.

Isn't that pretty much what Matt Clarke said it was about.Remains to be seen why we've stockpiled so many late picks. Only thing I can fathom is we reckon there's gonna be scope to trade them up with teams desperate for points. Carlton has the 2 f/s's incoming are we banking on them working with us?
Packaging up a dozen late 3rd/4th rounders isn't gonna net us a 1st rounder. Quantity doesn't equal quality in reality even if the points balance out.
Matt Clarke has already confirmed why we acquired those picks. Was as you hoped, so we can trade up using clubs that need pointsRemains to be seen why we've stockpiled so many late picks.

Why would I care what that campaigner says?Isn't that pretty much what Matt Clarke said it was about.
The whole academy system is a joke. There shouldn’t be any fathers/sons, academies or compromised drafts. This is literally the only sport in the world you would see this crap happening.
Starting to agree with this. AFL is hell bent on equalisation but is cool for top 8 teams to just continuously get access to top picks because they are the spawn of some dero that scraped in 100 games for them.
We'd get the same output from him that we did playing him in the forward line.We are so desperate for a F/S I’ve heard we’ve asked if Pickett can be used as a sub in 2024 from a Perth prison.

Time will tell. Everyone could be a spectacular hit. Naismith, Kosi, Kane and Liam could all have the potential to be match winners, though could all be off the list in two years tooIn the whole, a very average trade and draft period by our guys this year.
Yeah.The whole academy system is a joke. There shouldn’t be any fathers/sons, academies or compromised drafts. This is literally the only sport in the world you would see this crap happening.
Any rule changes would surely have to be applied from 2025 so as not to adversely affect teams who have traded future picks in good faith around the current rules. Or some other way would need to be found to compensate these teams. Otherwise it would be a complete farce - cue usual AFL farcically corrupt scenes.
So Carlton have 2 x F/S in the Camporeale twins, Brisbane have Levi Ashcroft and another academy kid, Gold Coast have Leo Lombard and Adelaide has a father son in Tyler Welsh.
You can see that after the Sun's make a grand final the Queensland teams will lose the ability to match Academy selections in the first round. Nothing will change before they become successful.Yeah.
The AFL needs to commit to one thing - either go full equalisation and get rid of these compromised drafts or give everyone the opportunity to build viable academies.
Otherwise, you get this weird in-between system we currently have that’s wildly unbalanced. You have a bottom clubs like West Coast that are getting pushed back in the draft while top-8 sides like Bulldogs, Collingwood, and Brisbane clean up with star youngsters using a bunch of later picks.
The AFL needs to quickly fix this situation.
Would love for Noah not to nominate Melbourne to come play under his father ...Smart by us, strengthened our 2024 draft hand. We expect freo and eagles to be bottom 6.
We now have 1 first-rounder. 2 second-rounders inc freos 2nd. 3 X 3rd rounders ours, freo and eagles. Plus 3 fourth-rounders, ours Ports and Bombers. We have a lot of draft capital to do deals for teams needing points for academy and father-son's.

And he moves like an 80s ruckman but is only 194cm. Can see his only position in AFL as Backman who takes opposition's 2nd ruckHe got suspended for 10 weeks earlier in season for off field stuff.
They equate to 2 x pick 10'sWithout doing the math, I would have thought that our 2nds, 3 thirds and 3 fourths would be the points equivalent of 2 first round picks in the teens, right?

We’ve all been therelike having your eye on the hot chick at the party but ending up with her chunky boz-eyed bestie.
Yeah but I married her.We’ve all been there
Would love the goss on why Naish didn't nominate.
But what about the compo for DusteeeeeeSo for only the loss of Soldo, based on 2023 ladder we’ve basically turned our 2024 draft hand from:
6 / 24 / 42 / 60
into…
6 / 24 / 25 / 39 / 42 / 43 / 60 / 70 / 74
So let’s presume we will do 1 x major ‘points’ trade for a F/S or Academy kid …. 25/39/42/43/60 is worth 2,121. So we trade that for let’s say pick-7 which is worth 1,644.
That means we end up with:
6 / 7 / 24 / 70 / 74
So effectively Soldo, some pick shuffles and a 3rd for pick-7…. now that’s some good business.
That gives us great flexibility to hit the draft hard if we have a poor 2024 (and even look to trade a couple of senior bodies to further boost our draft hand). Or some great picks for a trade (King/Cadman) if 2024 looks like our list is in good shape.
They’ve done a great job to effectively go back 5 spots in the draft for 2 x F3’s from teams unlikely to be at the pointy end. Kudos!

From what I've read we only have 1 list spot leftApologies if it's been asked, but if we take a rookie today (what pick do we have?) Then can we still take a SSP player before round 1?
