Dogs played as many H&A matches at the G as Brisbane this year. We played more matches at AO. And by the way we have never played a final at our ‘home’ ground - ever!the competition is full of inequalities, Melbourne teams get the ultimate advantage of have a home grand final
He's partially deaf.He has the weirdest accent I’ve ever heard. Wth is that
and the advantage of having a home grand final every year is excessive, quit your whinging
don't see him advocating for the grand final to be moved
The premier getting the best player in the draft for peanuts is ridiculous.
It's that simple really.
People want to get caught up in nostalgia and have a father son rule... fine. But pay a fair price for it.
The amount of non St Kilda supporters commenting and instead of discussing the issue are targeting the saints or Bassat are hilarious and highlights the issues even further.
He is not saying to get rid of father sons or academies.
He is saying pay a fair cost for the access.
Ashcroft is undoubtedly the best player in this draft. What would it cost Brisbane for a top 5 pick? Bailey? Would you still want him then?
Naicos for the pies. It would have cost them someone integral to their 23’ flag side.
The suns with 4 first round picks the other year. There is no way they would have landed equivalent values to bring them all in.
It’s provides equality all the way down the ladder.
The system they are bringing in makes it better not perfect.They have already changed the system so clubs pay a fair cost but all the clubs complained, including many victorian clubs, and it had to be delayed until next year.
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.It’s unfair because the benefits of the system are random and unevenly distributed. That leads to clubs winning flags then getting one of the best players in the draft super cheap. It fundamentally undermines equalisation. If you don’t care about equalisation that’s fine, but you can’t have both.
Yet there's been 9 different premiers (half the comp) in the past 12 years.If you chip away and poke more Swiss cheesw holes in equalisation, fans will begin to drop off because they have no hope.
There is no perfect system.The system they are bringing in makes it better not perfect.
The issue isn’t the access. It’s the cost.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.

What’s not perfect about a club requiring a pick within 5 spots of where the player is taken?There is no perfect system.

He is completely deaf.
Nah the F/S is too much of a lottery. Its pure luck that can result in clubs winning premierships. Distorts the draft and needs to be fixed.You realise Brisbane getting Levi Ashcroft is as a result of the father son rule available to all clubs though right?

He is both right and wrong at the same time.
Right that there are too many clubs in Melbourne so the smaller VFL clubs are always going to have to make up the numbers in a sense. And there is no commercial incentive to have all of these clubs up at the same time or for long periods.
Wrong from the perspective that the Saints have had the worst drafting of any club in recent memory (which is why their list profile is god awful), have hired a coach who plays a brand of footy which isn't commercially attractive to the networks and are a club that gets significant financial contributions on par with the northern clubs to stay financially competitive.
