Draft 'loophole' to remain despite some clubs' concerns - AFL.com.au
This is BS. If Sydney trades pick 15 for three lower picks that are worth more points which are then used up for an academy player what is wrong with that?
The other clubs were prepared to pay "overs" (in points) to acquire our number 15 and go up the draft order.
When we use up our lower bids to pay for an academy player, guess what? The other clubs all move up three spots with their draft picks.
The changes make it so much harder to get more points, the only way to do it is to up trade your highest three picks.
This is just more crap from Melbourne clubs, especially Hawthorn (named in this article) to protect their own success to the detriment of growing the game nationally.
