The Academy and Father Son Piss take

[CURLY]

Brisbane win the flag and essentially get two top ten picks. In return they hand over a pile of garbage late picks.

This really has to stop to at least try and look like a equitable competition.

I think the president of our club should say something publicly

Valid point CURLY, belatedly recognised by the AFL.
Last night's final drift event was embarrassing. Even BNE must have blushed.

[St Dave]

By essentially two top ten picks, do you mean pick 5 and pick 25?

Ashcroft and Marshall both extremely highly rated. Ashcroft rated 1 by most and Marshall who was BOG in the Grand Final in a team Ashcroft was in.

We are about to be beneficiaries

We are about to be beneficiaries

And so we should.
But we didn't bolt in the 2024 premiership after being close runner up in 2023, and the pick won't be a top 5 talent.
Any advantage based on unevenly distributed circumstances is contrary to equalisation. Last night's largesse towards Brisbane was a piss take of MCG proportions.

[B.M]

To be fair

We got Owens, Windhager for less than they were worth and will probably get Cole, Hoffman and Peckett for a pack of chips

Point well made.
I just had an impression fs and academy access was different. Certainly if a club has put years and resources into youngsters that club deserves discounted priority access.

Lol, 'essentially' doing a lot of work there.

The reality is, regardless of where they finished last year (except for 18th and maybe 17th) Brisbane were probably only getting those two guys (plus whatever junk picks they have left over and use).

So really, they were just lucky to win the flag in the year they had good kids also coming through.

And yes I think they should have paid more for them, thankfully that change is coming in for next year's draft.

[B.M]

Lucky to win the flag?

Not sure they would see it that way.

Getting players for less than they are worth, what does it matter where you finish?

Might need to reread my post there BM.

I didn't just say they were lucky to win the flag.

And I think you are agreeing with me, Curly suggested it was unfair they got their F/S or academy players because they won the flag. I was saying it didn't matter where they finished, because, unless they finished last and could take someone before Ashcroft, they were still only getting those two guys plus some late change picks
