GREATER Western Sydney coach Kevin Sheedy has urged the AFL not to tinker with the blueprint that gives his club and the new Gold Coast team priority draft picks. Sheedy was responding to a possible review of high draft picks for the two new licences that will come into the competition over the next three years.

''All of the AFL clubs, regardless of where they were on the ladder, were told a long time ago what was going to happen and it's now too late to turn back and make rules on the run,'' he said yesterday.

''I know there's lots of talk about Melbourne and Richmond being badly situated in the coming years, but they were given plenty of warning and had the opportunity to grasp the best choices they could.''

The former Essendon coach had little sympathy for Richmond, the team he played with 40 years ago.

''They chose what to invest in recruiting and the fact that other clubs recruited better shouldn't be the reason to change things now.

But Melbourne are probably different. They've got a lot of raw kids who will need three years or 40 games under their belt to realise their potential.''

Last week, the AFL hinted that it might revise the drafting conditions for Greater Western Sydney and the Gold Coast after criticism that an irretrievable gulf would develop between Richmond and Melbourne and the rest of the teams.

''Making rules on the run as far as football is concerned has always been a major no no,'' Sheedy said.

As an aside to what all existing AFL clubs are up against:


As it is, the Gold Coast's wage bill will be as much as 20 per cent higher than some existing clubs in its first year.

Not only is Karmichael Hunt's money exempt, but the club has an extra $1 million in its first year to recruit players under AFL rules.

The salary cap next year will be just over $8 million, but the Gold Coast will pay as much as $10 million when its extra allowance, and salary for Hunt, is factored in.

The AFL is believed to be funding some of Hunt's wage because of the promotional value of his recruitment.

sheedy never gave a stuff about richmond and its good to see him finally admit that now

[Owl]

basically

[bushranger]

He was all for us while he was back at the club.
Now he is doing his best to stiff us.
He knows he has got a good deal with his new club, so he can say these things.
Lets see him crash and burn, and tell him the same when he is flat on his backside.
Screaming he needed more money to get better recuits. 

[Mr Magic]

It's hardly a surprise because of this.
Nothing story IMO. Of course he's looking after WS18s best interests.

[jackstar is back again]

What of interest is this.
Watched the Gold Coast train in Jan .
They are all 6ft and over and built like tanks.
We seem to recruit lightweights ,why ???

[Mr Magic]

Well we did under Terry.
Was better last off season.

[jackstar is back again]

Nason way too smal ( I like him though )
Hicks -rookie ,too small

[Mr Magic]

Nason way too smal ( I like him though )
Hicks -rookie ,too small

Well duh. We also needed to strengthen the small forward area also so no issue with these selections latish selections.
Neglecting Martin, Griffiths, Astbury & Dea all who have strong bodies who were our first 4 picked.

[Ramps]

Im hanging out to see what difference Griffiths and Astbury make to our structure.

Riewoldt Astbury Morton
Taylor Griffiths Nahas

We need to see this forward line before r22.
