Do you realise how difficult it is to trade for a top five draft pick?
Understand the point you’re making completely but at what point are the saints responsible for having fewer 100 game players in that period than all bar two clubs?
We wouldn’t have won a flag without it? Thats all I’ve gotThat speech was a bit incoherent.
But I agree that the father son rule is a joke. I have still never heard a good argument for it to exist.

If you had of bothered to listen he did acknowledge St Kilda has shot itself in the foot in the past.Billings instead of Bont
McCartin instead of Petracca
Any amount of woe is us isn't going to solve the above issues. Not to mention giving contracts to stop gaps like Hanneberry etc.
He's deaf in one ear.He has the weirdest accent I’ve ever heard. Wth is that
A bit different now. The teams have to have list spots for all the picks accumulated. So still requires a bit of management. Will no longer have a JUH situation where a team has 50 picks and no list spots
The Hawkins thing is what changed the old system
Yeah apart from that triple premiership, All Australian, Coleman medal winner. And a Norm Smith winner 3 days again. Apart from that though, NONE!Jon Brown?
And this system will be much fairer for players like that from next season. It should have changed for this draft.Do you realize how hard it is for a club that isn't contending to make ground on a club thats handed Heeny Mills and Blakey.

Of course it is! That's exactly the point. If you want a player like Naicos (who everyone could see was going to be at least very very good) then you pay through the nose. As it stands, he cost almost nothing relative to his likelihood of succeeding.
Congrats on getting lucky when you were being handed priority draft picks every year. How far are we going back?Luckily for you the Swans didn't need to for Heeney. Every knew he was going to be very good, Melbourne bid on him at pick 2, but in the system at the time the Swans were allowed to match with pick 18. Congrats on getting lucky, I guess?
I understand the lottery of father son and how that effects equalisation but I don't get the claim of how this unfairly targets a club like St Kilda. Perhaps I'm missing something

It's the house rules Free Parking of the AFL.Every club has access to F/S selections.
It might come back to haunt him one day if Nick Reiwoldts boys or Lenny Hayes kids etc turn into guns and end up elsewhere.. but like you said its a lotteryI understand the lottery of father son and how that effects equalisation but I don't get the claim of how this unfairly targets a club like St Kilda.

He's partially deaf.
You realise Brisbane getting Levi Ashcroft is as a result of the father son rule available to all clubs though right? Like I can accept academies are random and can be unevenly distributed but you can’t use that argument for father sons, surely.
The Saints didn't complain when they benefitted from players wanting to return to Victoria. So no the system is not setup to keep you down St.Kilda, you guys do that yourself by poor list management & club management.
