2024 AFL draft

[Diocletian]

Why of course - just after we've started stockpiling picks:

BIDDING CHANGES COULD ARRIVE IN 2024

THE AFL hasn't ruled out making changes to its Academy and father-son bidding system as early as this year, with the League to review the process at the conclusion of its ongoing competitive balance reviews.

Speaking to AFL.com.au on Wednesday, the AFL's chief executive Andrew Dillon said the League was in the final stages of its meetings with clubs and was considering alterations to the bidding process as early as 2024.

"It will depend on the timing of when the review is finished. I wouldn't rule it out, coming in during 2024. But I'm not saying it will either," Dillon said.

As revealed on AFL.com.au last October, the League has already written to clubs saying it will review the bidding system, Next Generation Academy incentive and the Draft Value Index to ensure teams with Academy players are paying a fairer price to match bids at the draft.

Should take the bastards to court if they do this - we traded for future picks last year with the understanding the rules wouldn't be changed this year....

Can't happen this year clubs already planned on previous rules.

Baker, Dusty and Rioli all leaving means we could have as many as 5 1st round picks this year. Bring on the kids. The new recruiting manager has a big job. Hope he gets it right

Agreed.

Given clubs can only trade picks 1 year in advance I suspect all clubs would be against rule changes that impact their trade strategies for last year.

Any new change would surely be 2025 onwards so clubs can plan accordingly.

They're all leaving based on?

An average news report by Ch10 Brisbane (Rioli). Surprised they knew he was 

As for the other 2....wish the media would report was actually said by Cotch. Firstly, not Cotch's finest moment on his new media gig "Talking Footy".. he stumbles, mumbled his way though his answer to a question about whether he believed Dusty and Baker would in different guernseys in 2025.

While getting tongue tied he managed to blurt out in the first instance that he though one of them wouldn't be in Richmlnd collurs.

Then he said maybe both won't be but didn't know, then when Timmy Watson said Dusty he said no Baker because Cotch is hearing whispers the $$$s on offer from the West are massive. He said in his view Dan Rioli won't leave..then he mumbled some more

So here we are.. the media having a field day based on a flip flop answer by our champion ex Captain. As I said not his finest moment

Fun times

I saw it and Dan said to the shock jock “ I don’t know what your talking about”
Let’s see , but didn’t see more than a bloke on holidays who caught with a bloke he used to live with.
All the excitement was coming from the media man.

Thanks for confirming exactly what I said albeit in a long-winded complicated way.  Rioli ain't visiting Dimma on a whim.  He is clearly thinking of exiting and I don't blame him with Meehan around.

Have to say Trent's made the Tigers one of the main sports stories today. As is the way with the media they are only showing reporting part of what was said

As I said not his finest moment

Thanks for that.

Is that it? FMD

Firstly cotch sounds like a robot he should give media the flic

Secondly that tells us sweet fa

[the claw]

Like the sound of Sam Lalor and Smillie looks great as well.

Be a good draft if we could some how manage to get both and still have a couple of decent picks on talls.
