The White boys(*) sure must know how to live under constant - albeit loving - pressure to perform!

Should stand them in good stead for a last-Saturday-in-September or two at the 'G!

Well, the Lions have two Ashcrofts and as premier are just about to load up on an academy player that's tipped to go in the top 10.

Similarly, Collingwood have x 2 Daicos

Honestly, I think if the AFL are going to address equalisation, then they need to get smarter than just turning off the tap on the FS and academies. Given how clubs like Brisbane and Collingwood have been allowed to cash-in on it, introducing a limit on how may clubs can take as a high draft pick equivalent over a 10 year rolling period would be much more reasonable propersition than just stopping it altogether from next season onwards.

...but we all know how the AFL works on fairness and reason right. Just look how well they have reprimanded Geelong for their out of cap, under the table payments.

Unfortunately, the proposed changes to the F/S rule will make it extremely difficult for us to get these blokes if they end up being 1st round picks. Tassie will likely scoop them up.

Still its not impossible and it would be awesome to have all 3 brothers playing for the one club.

Surely if they nominate us and we have the picks/points they’ll become ours. Isn’t the system going to change to make them more expensive, which I agree with, but still allow the romance to remain?

This, exactly how it should be.
