Great kudos for @Demonland!

I'm assuming someone from this forum was the photographer with the scoop?

Pies and Lions did something similar with Daicos and the Ashcrofts. AFL changed it so you need to wait until rnd 6 to formalise it, but it's not against the rules.

LIONS IN LEVI TALKS

NEGOTIATIONS continue on an agreement for father-son prospect Levi Ashcroft, with the AFL's new rules and uplift in total player payments making it potentially a landmark deal for an undrafted player.

As previously done with the likes of Collingwood's Nick Daicos, Essendon's Joe Daniher and Ashcroft's older brother Will at Brisbane, father-son prospects are able to essentially agree to longer contracts than the AFL's standardised first deals when they commit to nominating as a father-son in their draft campaign.

Daicos, in 2021, and Will Ashcroft the following season, both agreed to two extra years with their respective clubs as four-year deals, worth approximately $550,000-$600,000 in the third and fourth years. Daicos has since had his deal extended to be close to $1 million a season through to his free agency at the end of 2029.

The AFL's changed rules last year as part of the new collective bargaining agreement mean that top-20 picks are now locked in on initial three-year deals and that extensions can't officially be lodged and approved until after round six the following year. 

However, 'handshake agreements' can be discussed, with the younger Ashcroft situation looming as a test case for the game's era of 'new money'.

Sounds like draft tampering to me

rookie me central has a rundown of the allies 2025 squad, and why they should be looked at as a big chance to claim the national champs

10 of the 28 of the national squad are tied directly to northern academies, with 4 tied to the suns, including kalani white

Jeff needs to sit down with the young man and go over the pros/cons of the Dees and Suns

Only thing GC has over us is his support network (Fam, friends)

He will make 44 friends at the Dees instantly, when he joins them as a Demon player.

if we tried this you know we'd be busted, stripped of picks for the next decade, and be forced to trade every player on more than $500k a year for pennies against the pound

gc17 have at least four academy selections in in 2025, including two rated top 5 in the draft, and if they make finals they're only eligible to pick two of them

it is hard to picture kalani as a priority for them over the likes of zeke uwland, beau addinsall, and dylan patterson

…. I guess they will figure “why can’t we have them all?”

Expect a one off rule change 😡

All the Carlton players in the light blue M and M  jumper some years ago looked pretty rank.

If possible, they looked even worse in those beige pajamas.  Seriously, in either of these, how could anyone sing with any heart or commitment, “we are the navy blues”?

How about 70,000 friends.

Yes, I was thinking of the players on the list, but 70000 is a better number.

This para from the first link:

Furthermore, 10 members of the 28-man National Academy are tied to the Allies in 2025.
