    Some old mate on Mac sports radio this morning said a player, he wouldn't name for privacy reasons, had sent a medical "certificate" of some sort to non-Vic clubs which said he couldn't move interstate.

    How is that Syd/wce action not draft tampering?  Park a second rounder at wce, so bundle lower picks, then trade it straight back after the lower picks have been used.  How is this fair or in the spirit of the draft?  I know it cost them a later round downgrade next year, but this means they get Blakey and a second rounder for peanuts.

    That no club bid on Blakely earlier to force them to use pick 24 allowed them to cash in.  We would have forced their hand earlier as we did with Mills and Heeney.

     

    It just shows the distortions the points based trading system creates.  Last night 3 Academy picks were matched:

    • Tarryn Thomas to North who started with 42, 47, 48, 49, 55, 58, 86
    • Nick Blakey to Sydney who started with  26, 33, 38, 39, 40, 70, 88 then traded out 26 before the opp bid and traded back in 24 after matching
    • Isaac Quaynor to Collingwood who started with 41, 44, 57, 59, 60, 93

    North and Collingwood have Academy players tipped to go in the top 10 picks tonight (as do GWS and WBD).  Colllingwood also have the highly touted F/S, Will Kelly.

    It is shocking that all these top players can go for 'junk' picks.

    Yesterday, I posted that trading of picks by clubs with 'Tied' players (either Academy or F/S) needs revamping, starting with the elimination of discounts for Academy players. 

    I really dislike Sydney's clever trading last night but I have greater disdain for the underlying system that allows clubs to trade out high picks for junk picks during the trade period or during live-trade.  And it will worsen in coming years as more Academy (and F/S) players come into the system.  The draft points system is no longer working effectively and needs to change.

    We may have a few F/S prospects coming through over the next 3 to 5 years. So change it after that!!!

    Put your hand up if you tipped us to get Tom Sparrow. I don't remember seeing anyone tip that.

    See our next pick James Jordan had a big first quarter in final but faded from there. Will fit right in with us.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
