Freo may move back based on being in points debt from last year. They may go from 4 to 6, for example.  Won’t worry us unless we trade back in (which I doubt).

Hard to know how it plays out if lists are savaged, do we still have to take 3?

That Haw 2nd round pick is looking better and better each week.

Frost for pick 21 every day of the week. Great job JM

 

We traded him in for pick 23, so we've come out alright!

Not sure if he'll still be there for our first pick, but hope Jason Taylor and the team are considering young Logan McDonald from the Perth Demons. He's been turning heads over here in the west. Looks a great prospect. I watched him on Saturday against the Falcons and he didn't have the best game but still kicked two and showed some glimpses of brilliance. His aerial ability is fantastic, judges his leap and plucks the ball from on high.

He’s probably in top 5 calculations now, McDonald’s had a terrific season for Perth so far.

Hopefully a club like North Melbourne with early picks make a few clubs use up their early picks by bidding on F/S and Academy players.  This is where the NGA are so unfair, the Bulldogs have a kid that is rumoured to be top pick, the bulldogs have pick 8, this enabled them to go hard on a trade with pick 8, trade pick 8 for a future first round pick, there is not a chance that the Bulldogs will take pick 8 in this years draft, as long as they can have enough points to cover the pick in late second rounders and third round picks.

I'm not all over the F/S and Academy players but all we here is the top end of this draft is full of them.

On the flip side it might give us a chance if we want to get a pick in the top 10, lets say Future first round pick and pick 23 for Bulldogs pick 8 and future second round pick

I think the academy and NGA systems are an absolute crock, and has gone some way to stuffing up the drafts supposed equity.

I also think that the F/S discount should not apply either. Having first dibs should be the only advantage a team gets when drafting.

Northern clubs may have a sook, but let's remember they chose to establish themselves as AFL clubs in their respective locations, knowing full well both the pros and cons of doing so. If they don't like it, they shouldn't have formed themselves in such a vicinity.

Don't the Sun's get middle 1st round  (11) and start 2nd round (19) PPs? Or have i got that wrong?

As a side note, I see the AFL are planning to phase out academy zone selections in 1st and 2nd rounds. Meaning that academy players are open slather during those rounds. Not this year though.

Draft shake up

Edit. I just saw GCS traded 2020 first round PP to WCE for 2019 pick 27 (Jeremy Sharp)

NGA priority access changed, I wonder if this will also include the Northern state academies.

Being the lack of visibility of development this year surely its a great time to have concentrated picks in the 25-60 range where you may chance late developing kids who could not show their wares this year. Even some players don’t really show out as much until the champs when the quality rises around them or they are forced to play a different role than at club level. Think of how many bolters  there have been due to the championship or post champs that have shot in from 25-40 or further range to be top 10 or top 25.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
