Rivals fume

Re: Rivals fume

They had a legit chance to burn us with their review, and they didn't. Not one single thing has changed since or because of the NGA review. They didn't even reduce the 20% discount or cap it harder. There's also a big stick of PG, Eddie & Kennett who all have top NGA prospects this year. It's easier for the AFEL to focus on other things and not pick a fight with 3 media savvy club presidents with a big megaphone across AM/FM radio and newspapers. I'm not losing sleep.

Look, you are probably right.

But until he's wearing a Dogs jumper, there'll be some anxiety.

Wait to see if Raak & MacPherson blitz it too. Then some of the footy media might turn it up again...

I will believe he's ours when I see him wearing the tricolor on draft night.

Re: Rivals fume

The pies, giants, Kangas and swans have all made out like bandits and now clubs are annoyed we’re getting a player?

Don’t get me started in the priority pick system and “parity” in the league!

The priority pick has it's place but the AFL needs to be sure that clubs aren't doing a Melbourne and positioning themselves for consideration. Also it can't be granted to clubs who have been cheating the cap or the draft in the last 7 years.
The Suns seem to have organised themselves so now have limited claims.

You got me interested so I did a quick check of all top 20 Academy picks in the recent years. They all have their time but still want to spoil ours.

2019:
Liam Henry - Freo, Pick 9
Tom Green - GWS, Pick 10

2018:
Tarryn Thomas - North, Pick 8
Nick Blakey - Swans, Pick 10
Isaac Quaynor - Collingwood, Pick 13

2017 - No top 20 Academy picks.

2016:
Will Setterfield, (GWS) Carlton, Pick 5
Jack Bowes, GC, Pick 10
Harry Perryman, GWS, Pick 14
Isaac Cumming, GWS, Pick 20

2015:
Callum Mills, Sydney, Pick 3
Jacob Hopper, GWS, Pick 7
Matthew Kennedy, (GWS) Carlton, Pick 13
Eric Hipwood, Brisbane, Pick 14
Harrison Himmelberg, GWS, Pick 16

2014:
Isaac Heeney, Sydney, Pick 18

2013 - No top 20 Academy picks.

If the rumours about GWS cracking it are true then...……..

Remember when they cracked it about getting booed at their own ground? Or when Phil Davis cracked it about players leaving their club to play elsewhere?

They LIVE to crack it, circumstance and their own history be damned.

Re: Rivals fume

Thanks ChocoM. Great research, just like your photography.

Some fairly talented players in the list.

It's a really strange vibe they have isn't it. I suppose that's what happens with petulant children who are handed everything on a platter since birth. And you know what, with the hard knocks they've taken with finals and the effort they've put in over the years they'd actually be tolerable if they were just a bit humble and a touch understanding of the sacrifices all of the other clubs have made so they can actually exist.
