http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-05-21/new-bidding-system-introduced-for-fatherson-and-northern-academy-players

What does everyone think about the new bidding system.
I reckon it's very good concept but is way too harsh.
Sydney would have had to give up 18,37,38 57 for Heeney and get 64 and 88 in return (woo).
Imagine if that was a father son of a legend at your club like Fletch, Ablett, Boomer, Hodge ect.. In fact academy players get a discount so the cost would be far greater.
So great in fact that it will encourage some teams to let a family name slip through. That's something I don't want to see.
Yeah, it is interesting reading. Will feel a bit miffed in a season we are on our knees begging to improve our list for future we could be the first club dealing with it and paying way more than past clubs paid to claim father-son connections. But that just bad timing so nothing can do about that.
Silvagni's son Jack and Dean Rice son are both likely to be in the player pool.
Will see how it works and Mills of Swans academy is virtually seen as a really early pick so no doubt clubs will bid on him to make Swans pay a lot more for than they did for Heeney. Swans would virtually have had to give up a 3rd round pick on top of what they already did which was pick 18 to get him. In the long run it will probably work out fair for all. Points system looks fair based on fact they looked at a good sample of past picks to devise it. It probably seems complicated to most but glad they put some good thought into it. Just hope we get Jack Silvagni at end of season without too much cost involved. SOS himself will have no say on that and removing himself from the decision making on his son.

Brodie Smith is going to be extremely cheap soon.

Currently 365k, with breakevens around 130 in his next two games. He should outscore SC Gold projections, but could still be low to mid 300s.

Averaging 88 before his concussion.

Perfect timing to pick him up post his bye. Could even be a D7 option at that price.

Might end up downgrading Jake Kelly for him :D

Any views on Shane Biggs? Would like to bring him in next week. Thought he might have been best 22 if he hadn't done his hammy at the start of the season.

Anybody got the number of the SuperCoach Gods? I need to give them a piece of my mind after 2 consecutive weeks of ~2300 projections and ~2000 outcome.

Jake Kolodjashnij still in the mix to play AFL footy in coming weeks. “He’s playing well enough (in VFL) to keep pushing his case.” #Scott

Ok guys I need some help with a draft related question. Now one of the blokes has put a player in the waivers that plays tonight. He becomes a free agent on Sunday. First of all will I be able to waiver the player Sunday morning or will he be locked out after tonight's game?
Secondly if I put the waiver through today with another player that plays tonight, will it go through on Sunday or will I have to waiver someone who hasn't played by Sunday morning?

So what's with all the Adam Goodes bashing? This guy is an immense legend. It makes me sad.
