Good man. Seems to really bleed Navy and definitely wants his kid to play for us without the additional pressure this will bring.
Wish the club had the same b@!!$. Injunction should have been ready to go.

This one seems pretty tame, the headline is 100 times tronger than what was actually said in the article

Well said Tex.

Take note GW and Priestley. You don’t need to tank to draft 2 quality kids. Appeal. Keep the bastards in AFL House honest, let alone fair.

Do we even have an avenue to appeal?

Every club supports the new FS changes, including ours... it's just Blues, Power and Bombres that want "a lick" before they're implemented.

And we definitely can't rely on the support of the remaining 15 clubs.

Wright is basically working for the AFL now. He’s cosplaying being Brian Cook and dreaming of AFL house water cooler chats with Laura Kane about indigenous round and getting a photo in his Collingwood jumper with the next talentless yank performing at the twilight Grand Final. Zero f#cks about our draft picks or club beyond his ambitions.

The question is whether we can stall/ adjorn the new draft rules till after the 2026 draft. Sorta force their hand.

I hope you are wrong bookie.

Hey, but anything can happen.

Perception is our reality

Only time will tell. I give him this Draft and Trade period. That will be the proof I need.

Get me ...

1. Walker
2. RUCK (Trade/Find under a rock)
3. MID FA (Bailey Humphrey)
5. MID FA/ Trade
6. KPF/Ruck
7. Running HBF
8 KPD Depth
9. Contract Charleson
9. Rookie Saad Williams

Then in 2027 surprise me again.

Court injunction on the ground that a process has started (trading draft picks) and is in current play, hence disadvantaging sides who have already put measures in place by trading players/picks. The fact Kody has committed to us, also assists in such a matter.

What the injunction will do, is stop change from occurring until a court case and ruling is made. IMO, the AFL would have little hope of winning to implement these changes in the next 2 or 3 drafts, due to commitment already being made by clubs.
