So, our club deliberately ignored it and planned that it wouldn't happen?

I don't believe it.

The AFL made comments about it possibly changing after the draft concluded, not while we were in the process of planning.

Yeah any reference to "last year" was well after trade period and the draft.

AFL doing what they do best, playing on words.

laura kane thinks that because the afl signalled they were under going a competitive balance review that clubs have been aptly informed about changes. But the review isn't finalised and the new system is not yet even known by the AFL. Clubs work 24 to 18 months in advance and have done so for this draft under the provision of the existing system and framework.

Saying hey we might change this, is not the same as informing clubs of what the new system is and allowing ample time for football departments to get their ducks in a row. Her comments on radio either signal inepitude or a flagrant disregard for clubs. Side note her voice is quite irritating and the constant labelling of her as a 'rising star' for the afl is a joke, why are executives being treated as the next big thing, using terminolgy that is usually applied to a player. Their role is to serve the game not be the game.

Next they'll reduce the salary cap by $8m in September and say told you we were conducting a competitive balance review. Good luck

Absolute horse crap.

Why would we have stockpiled 9 (NINE) draft picks by constantly moving back in the previous draft to stockpile more picks if that was the case ??

****ing revisionist history going on here !

Cheating bulshit campaigners !

Poor communication from the AFL it seems, some clubs told, not sure if all clubs were.

So now we are finding out that "certain" clubs were told (given a warning) and others (clearly including us) weren't told ?!?

Were those clubs "in the know" s n I g g e r I n g behind our backs when we were cleverly stockpiling what may turn out to be utterly valueless picks ?

If that's the case there needs to be a riot down at Docklands. What a ****ed organisation.

If that turns out to be true then it's time for the lawyers to become involved.

No doubt Geelong and Pies were told. Brad Scott would have been told I bet

'there could be changes' the most useless warning ever. Completely uncommital and unaccountable

Pretty clear afl are leaking to herald sun journos landsberger and ralph and clubs namely carlton, brisbane and richmond are going through tom morris

Cheeky little lick on the dot ya dog.

 

[Bojangles17]

If the new rules result in screwing Carlton , Coll suns and lions it has. MY full support , couldn’t care about a few lousy 40 pics that’s taking one for the team
These entitled campaigners can’t be getting free A graders

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Apparently we are not happy

Imagine being a professional league employing a female to a top job just to tick off equality woke bullshit boxes

She’s a clown that’s embarrassing the CFL even more than it is already

You don’t know that.

Apparently the Saints are one of the clubs sooking about the current system.

Are they holding a grudge? Trying to **** over Toce.

Didn't they give him the arse?

 

[tigs2010]

The AFL are a bunch of cun#s they just pick and choose when to make rule changes. I could have bet my house on the AFL screwing us over and it's no coincidence that Collingwood won with the help of the cheating maggots.
They need North to keep pick 1 otherwise the AFL will going into meltdown if we got it.
I'm so ****$ sick of the AFL and their bullshit rules.

Can't wait till we get sucked off against Norf. It's going to be ****ing glorious.

 

[db26]

What a bunch of clowns 8 games to go unfit to run this competition. Like they said clubs work for years on draft strategy. You can see she's full of bs clubs are aware of it not this year through was going to come in. Let's see if the clubs stick thick together.

How about they address the real issues like umpiring interpretation , getting rid of the academy juniors altogether for the sun's, swans and giants and rewarding that basket case roos for complete failure.

 

[Tigerbob]

I think Laura Kane is well out of her depth.

look at her justification of the norf pies non 50 call, shows how absurd and convoluted the rules are. The afl tick off every call except when a call went against their team in Gold Coast

 

[chriso11]

AFL has lost all credibility with supporters. Every weekend games are materially impacted by umpiring decisions and every week they are finding the need to offer increasingly implausible sounding explanations. The average punter has lost any trust in the rules. How can you feel any different when it is a total roll of the dice each time on which way a call is going.

No one says that TV and sponsorship money can be forgone or that it has not had positive effects in making this sport better funded. It would just be great if the AFL had a leader who at least able to balance commercial needs with the integrity of the sport for hundreds of thousands of members and millions of spectators that make it relevant

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Ralphy seems to think all are aware.

Why didn't the campaigner report on it at the time then? They do on absolutely every other minor detail of the game, then why not this one which is actually pretty significant?

Find me one article or column written prior to last year's draft where this or some other "journo" refers to imminent changes to the draft points system.

[Cleansweep17]

Didn't she drive the no weights displayed in player bios change? ****ing dumbest thing I've ever seen. Was there a survey done, any opinions gathered from players? Nah, Laura just projecting her own insecurities onto a bunch of uber fit blokes playing footy.

Jesus I just googled her and got a fright. Not even the Elephant man would be jealous of that head.

I call bullshit
The push to fix up the system only came after the draft when clubs publicly complained about it after the Gold Coast fixaso during last years draft

 

[Muddiemoose]

Saints bound
gonna massively over pay for a small forward
