Re: 2021 draft watch
Yeah I totally agree. Needs to be SOME draft cost to the club. Lynch walking to the best team in the comp for nothing stinks. And people complain about us getting Jamara.If we have NGAs and Father-sons having to use Draft Points for the receiving club, I don't see why the same doesn't apply to free agents.
Say it was Tom Lynch wanting to go from Gold Coast to Richmond - he nominates Richmond, then just like father-son any club can nominate him in the draft and then Tigers have to match the points.Comment

Re: 2021 draft watch
In a draft that is constantly compromised surely the least contentious is the father-sun rule. To think that a Daicos or a Moore would run out in anything other than black and white is sacrilige. Similarly, to have a SOS running out at any other team just makes you want to weep. Could you imagine if James Hird's kid or Dustin Fletcher's kid ran out in Carlton or Collingwood colours. All clubs have access to father-son picks. Sometimes they are a bust (Kellet, Libba, Beasley, Romero, A Cordy, Round), other times they are guns (LIbba, Hunter), more often they are just serviceable players who will become trade bait later in their careers (Wallis, Cordy (maybe)). By all means f*ck with the NGA (which was a sh*t decision in the first place). Fix the stupidity of the free agency system and the inequity in bumping teams that have absolutely nothing to do with the trade down the order. Leave the father-sun rule alone. Nostalgia has a place.Comment

Re: 2021 draft watch
Been to a couple of Glenelg junior matches last few weeks, really like the look of Hugh Stagg; looks like an AFL foorballer already. Lewis Rayson has great skills as well.
Nas Wanganeen is playing reserves for Glenelg, isnt dominating (yet) but some of the things he does are very smooth/cleverComment
