    Football has become so bloody complicated. Is it just me ? I honestly don't understand about 90% of the OP!

    Actually, I think the AFL should be more creative. If clubs can now trade future draft picks, why not also the rights to future father-son selections? Imagine the bidding war for the unborn first son of Gary Ablett Jr. Would the rights to Ablett's as yet unborn child be worth more than, say, Chris Judd's first born?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
