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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
