      Apologies from me too Axeman.

      YHF and me will both head straight to the naughty corner.

            Garlick is just protecting his patch. If there were 5 Pavlich juniors running around he wouldn't say a thing.

                Seriously, I get that the father son rule can skew the draft. It can give a leg up to teams that are already on the up, but I think that to lose it takes away a bit of romance and nostalgia in the game.

                Do you really want to see a Daicos running around in a WCE top; or the Bont's son running around in a Richmond Jersey?

                They tinkered with the system so you have to give something up to get the FS's in and I think that makes it fairer as you still have to give up to get. Maybe they could push the eligibility from 100 games to 150 games. How many games does it take to achieve legend status?

                  Maybe, but my respect for him has gone down after this. Boooo.

                    People also forget the penalty clubs like ours take on for landing FS/Academy selections. You only need to look at our dearth of quality role players at the moment to understand we've had insufficient capital to find quality in the second to fourth rounds - because in those zones of the draft or trading you need picks which we haven't had.

                    Now we could have foregone Darcy and JUH, or Croft etc., but could you imagine the pillorying we'd have copped if we did?
