Don't be surprised....that SHocking virus is still around as bad as Covid is.They'll probably now make changes that affect us next year.
Interesting rating system used.
We debate if one youngster is better than another.
Instead the club ascribes them a level - say Hall, McAuliffe and (guessing) Simpson are all B.
As long as they get one of them they're happy.
Fawcett ranked just below Reid and Edwards. But close enough that they domt pay overs to get R or E.
its a different approach and definitely looks at the whole list as a collective. They cant all be Dusty so how do we get the best overall list?
Posts from Feb. Moir was nearly gettable.Yeah,you might want to lower your sights Bully
Second rounders this year.
Needed a decent trade, considering we put an offer in on #30 it was within possibilities
I reckon both these kids look pretty good. Let’s see how they handle the level.
I heard it too it made me laugh.
i dont think Caddy spent 1 minute in the guts.
He did say Cotchin then he forgot who else we have lost to retirement.
He couldve mentioned Lambert Edwards even Houli
Does he know we won 3 flags not long ago.

I saw a comment from Ablett praising Dudoro for his genius in drafting Luol (Sp?) at pick 39 knowing the dogs could match any pick after 40.
The Dons didnt have another pick until they traded for our 4th rd pick, so if the fact the Dogs would get him after the next pick influenced the Dons at all, rather than pick the best kid, it shows they are dumb.
i guess with Dudoro's reputation of always trying to "beat" someone there probably is a chance they did draft him cos of that tho.
yeah, i broke that down somewhere on another thread- they basically turned pick 4, and a 2nd and 3rd rd pick this year into 4 1st rd players and 2 extra 1st rd picks in 2024. just by putting their picks out to auction.
great system.
After all that matching of high bids, they still end up with 3, count 'em 3, first rounders next year, and a couple of seconds?????? WTF. Totally outrageous. I've followed this issue closely, understand how it works, what a cheating corrupt shitshow it is, but seeing this in black and white is still unbelievable.
EVEN allowing for an armchair ride to some extent, by the intent of the rules, they could end up with 3 out of their 4 and be short on picks next year. You'd still think that was extremely generous, but this is insane.
Potentially Gold Coke (1 academy), Cartoon (2 father sons), Brisbane (1 father son & 1 academy) Adelaide (1 father son), & Port Adelaide (2 father sons) Sydney (1 academy) & Fremantle (will push hard for Logan McDonald)?
I don't suppose anyone can enlighten me on how swans could take indhi kirk as a cat b rookie? His mum visited a resort in Fiji? Dad playing 300 doesn't strike me as non-traditional.
Thats what I said on the day.
He even played vfl for the swans this year
Indhi is a non-traditional first name. Enough to satisfy the AFL eligibility criteria...
One thing that definitely should change is the on trading of future draft picks for those who hold academy/father son picks. While it seems restrictive it would eliminate clubs cashing in on future first picks while gaining a first round f/s or academy pick the preceding year.
