Gold Coast get gifted the best talent in the land for a year or two and then share it with GWS for a couple of more years with us downtrodden clubs left to pick up the pieces. Just getting a tidbit hear or there (Billings). Meanwhile as another poster said on the game thread they have 22 Billings (well IMO 21 + G Ablett).
How is that fair? How can us lowly clubs ever compete with that sort of hand out?
As another poster said there are no priority picks now and the second round of picks come after 18 picks PLUS free agency picks therefore making it pot luck as to who you get with the remainder of your picks.
It's criminal how much the AFL have given a leg up to those two new "teams". It's just wrong.

Don't worry to
o much J'sB. As long as the salary cap's integrity is maintained reasonably well. (I suspect that the Swines overplayed their hand re the Ego and will soon be brought back the field just as the Teddies were.)
The Pelican and list manager Bainsy are positioning us nicely in this area. We now have cap space. In a year or so,
when the list is ready (unlike Carlscum's timing re their Visy 'ambassador'), we will go a raiding.
So just keep a close eye on those Sons of Beaches and Wogans' young'uns J'sB, and in a couple of seasons, let the Pelican know a couple of names that you recommend we go and get...
(Different club, but we keep hearing Rory's name. I could certainly cope with that. In fact, I reckon he'd be less risky than a Dangerfield who would be to
o overpriced IMHO.)
As for spleen venting... good idea(!)
I hate all those soulless, artificial, interstate AFL bastard-love children
teams. Yes
teams, coz they sure aren't
real clubs,
real clubs with
real histories dating back to the beginnings of our great game!
