Ok then if you want it and want the AFL to keep artifically supporting your club to keep you strong so they can inflate the next tv rights, then any academy players to be drafted should be done under the same formula as father-son. If you really want them then pay a reasonable price and you get them otherwise you miss out, after all you're not spending your own money so how can you lose.
All clubs should be allowed to establish acadamies if we want a fair and equal competition, only problem is the AFL doesn't want that because it means the media rights won't be worth as much money.
Huh? All academy players to be drafted will already be done so under the same formula as father-son.
