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!!!

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

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,736]

No bid on Bedford yet.... would be handy if we can pick him up with our last pick

[mauriesy 7,298]

Every player's description on the AFL draft tracker sounds like they ought to go pick 1.
