@matttaylor_1@nathandg12@joedmoore1979 I was just asking if Jackson was an academy player? If not, then what’s the issue with paying a fair price for him? I agree Freo get a rough run with their academy rules but yeah
@nathandg12@joedmoore1979 Sydney pour millions of their own dollars into making their academy the most successful in the country to develop these kids into the stars they are today. They also have to give up other draft picks in order to bid on them. It’s most definitely not for free.
@jamesgbreen @BluesCanes For top draft picks NBA does 2 years guaranteed and then the team gets the option to pick up the remaining 2 years or let the player become a free agent. Brilliant system.
@TommyCarullo Bottom clubs trading away prized draft picks for more experienced players with lower ceilings is a pretty poor way to rebuild though, yes it would get North off the bottom quicker but it wouldn’t get them very far. They should get a few years out of the bloke they used pick 1 on.
JHF wants to ‘go home’ after one season but gets to name a club of choice? The system is beyond broken. AFL needs to take a good hard look at how the NBA works rookie contracts and free agency systems.

Trade radio produces so SHOCKING takes and this is right up there as one of the worst ever. Player who hasn’t ever played for the club and isn’t yet on their list should be captain next year.
