Trade period / National Draft 2024

[_RT_]

 

[GoTigers2015]

Changing the rules as they go! They have no idea at all.

That was flagged last year, so no issue with them changing this.

We can make a play for Essendon's first rounder.

 

[SumTingWong]

I hope we look at Lindsay too. Plays like Gulden

 

[Stylo]

Good for us in some ways as it means there’s another team in the market for points

My thoughts exactly. Also I guess I hate Kako now

 

[Lord of the Wings]

No were not. He'll have the choice whether he wants to nominate as a father-son prospect or not, which he will.

Incorrect. Cody is a top 3 draft prospect.

Under the old rules he was never getting to us as we can only match outside top 40. So he had the choice of Carlscum or the draft.

Now we can match any pick so if he nominates us instead of the scum he is guaranteed to get to us. Gives him a genuine option now. Hopefully the club shafted the old man at some point and they turn their attention to us

He's not going to nominate us. He will nominate Carlton.

We should just say **** it and bid on Kako with pick 1

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Thanks for your opinion but it’s irrelevant at this point

 

[Coach_Required]

AFL will change the F/S rules by then anyway, so Blues will need to pay up.

lol what? we're no more likely to get him now than we were yesterday. He will nominate Carlton and he will get to Carlton. Your New found optimism is misplaced.

He is a lock for the Blues.

 

[Bird Man]

I dont think we will go with Smillie at #1.
He is too simular to Hopper and Taranto.
I think we will go Jagger, FOS or Draper.

Is there a draft watcher that will tell me otherwise?

trust me

He is the best kid in the draft. His upside is too high to ignore...but if we had two picks inside the top 10 then I would take that.

 

[sanaya]

Wasnt he tipped to be > 40 anyways

now he won't have to keep sandbagging

 

[Bird Man]

lol why are we developing a Carlton father son? that sounds so dumb

 

[Lord of the Wings]

I give up. Some folks just aren’t that smart.

Says who?

Flagged, spoken about, raised. All the same shit gimmick corporate talk nonsense from the AFL.

When is accountability going to come in? Don’t raise it, put it in place and give clubs 12-18 months to work it out in trades and drafting.

Clubs watch these kids for years, they have to plan the list build two to four years out. How can you bring in a rule months out?

Bullshit by this absolute failure of an organisation.

Training with Carlton, Twomey on Gettable saying the Blues have a really exciting prospect.

The AFL flagged in 2023 as a potential change this year after Melbourne (Andrew), Saints (McKenzie) and West Coast (Collard) and Hawks (Vickery) all missed out on academy players.

The problem is that there is a huge advantage to Northern clubs in the draft. Should never have been changed in the first place.

 

[strauchy]

Yes and no

Would your attitude still be the same if Harley Reid asked to be traded back to Victoria and Richmond was his club of choice?

Yes I would. If feel the eagles getting absolutley shafted.
But I’d be grateful of course. Just doesn’t sit right.

 

[Ctl]

I don’t mind the change, it just means all clubs can match academy bids no matter where the bid is placed. Sucks for melbourne who missed out on Mac Andrew when they changed it to only being able match bids outside top 20, and then top 40. The afl have still not committed to changing the points system, so very much doubt they change it this year if they have announced the academy change.

 

[Ctl]

Jagga smith is going to be apart of the Richmond vfl program according to talking tigers

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

tigs2010 appears that Essendon will be able to match a bid on Kako anywhere in the draft this year.

AFL proposes change to NGA access for this year’s draft

The AFL is set to walk back its rule limiting clubs' access to their Next Generation Academy players for this year's draft

www.afl.com.au

The advantage of having their ex-boss as the Essendon coach.

Melbourne lose access to Mac Andrew and then the rules revert. What a farce.

Didn’t they say they were looking tighten up rules around access? Forever chasing their tails this mob. Laughable

- Edit: I see these points were well covered here.

 

[GoTigers2015]

West Coast fans still deluded.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Training with Carlton, Twomey on Gettable saying the Blues have a really exciting prospect.

That was before they changed the rules

Jaggy Smith trained with us also don’t mean we are getting him
