Oh and the Father/Son should stay the same. Love seeing familiar names running around at their father's club. I'd even go further and introduce a grandfather/som for 200 gamers (along the academy bidding system suggested above).

Also for every northern academy player picked up by those clubs, then this means theres one more Vic/Sa/Wa player available for the rest. Having/had kids in GWS academy I can verify that they do a lot of work, and are constantly behind the 8 ball; as they can't find any decent (high standard) games for these kids to play. They get 4 games in the Coates league at the start of the year, then beat up on weaker players till the championships! That's not great for development.

Mentioned this before: but what about all academy first round products require the associated club to match points plus 40%. Then Academy 2nd round plus 20%. It still provides opportunity to reward clubs academy efforts, but not provide a free hit. Other clubs potentially benefit from the deals required to accumulate the necessary points! And of course, AFL gets more media coverage from the speculation.

I was more meaning targeting players like Petty, Kossie, Jackson, JVR, Rivers, Chandler, Brayshaw, etc. This puts unnecessary pressure/distraction on the player during the season and club (to lock them into long term deals, as 2 years remaining seems gettable). Would you put in the effort to sound out a content contracted Essendon player knowing you have to deal with Dodori?

Had anyone considered that Melbourne's fair and reasonable approach to trading; has mades us a target for raiding players!!!

Whats the chances this creates a favourable McAddam deal in the future, considering how well they've benefited from this one.

Love this idea; but would take it a step further: NGA first round products require the associated club to match points plus 40%. NGA 2nd round plus 20%. It still provides opportunity to reward clubs NGA efforts, but not provide a free hit. Other clubs potentially benefit from the deals required to accumulate the necessary points! And of course, AFL gets more media coverage from the speculation!

The kangaroo court would also have chucked out the hypocrisy of Maynard having the time to react to Brayshaw "veering" into his path by noticing it, comprehending the outcome enough to react with the thought procedd of thinking "[censored] he's there"; while also arguing there's not reaction time to brace for contact!!!! The act of jumping and bracing was a predetermined singular action; this is actually supported by the biomechanic person - as he stated there was no time to adjust once launched. Also if there was a report why wasn't the umpire there providing his view (something I thought they had to do) and if this was a test case then surely the AFL (tribunsl) would require evidence from Brayshaw so as to understand all aspects in making an informed decision.

How about Whoever instigates head high contact gets penalised (suspended); therefore takes responsibility for the action and consquence. This includes duckers, leading with the head, bumps, spoils, tables and tripping over ones feet!

I challenge both Buckley and Cornes to go back through the footage of their careers and produce just one example of them attempting the same footy act!!!
