Are Academies and Father Son’s Undermining the AFL Draft?
The fundamental purpose of the AFL draft is to maintain an equal competition, where every team has a shot at success.
In recent years Academy and Father/Son selections have played a prominent role in top end draft picks going to strong sides… leaving fans down the bottom of the ladder frustrated they don’t always have access to the best talent available.
In this video, we’ll explain how the Next Generation Academies, Northern Academies and the Father/Son rule work and investigate how they’re impacting the national draft and the overall fairness of the league…

Country Zoning: When Two Decades of Inequality Ruled Australian Football

Upon winning their first premiership in 1966, a decade of prosperity seemed within the grasp of St. Kilda. Unfortunately for the Saints, this was not to be the case. Instead, with the introduction of a system called “Country Zoning”, the next two decades would be a disaster for the club as they’d combine with Melbourne for 10 wooden spoons, while Hawthorn and Carlton, who had finished outside o...

    Great video, one thing though you talk about the average crowd in WA being only 20k. The main reason for that is that Subiaco did not have lights for the majority of the 90s meaning that Origin was played at the much smaller WACA Ground. WA VS VIC would have gotten a much bigger crowd if it had of been played at Subiaco.

  • @banliveexport325

    Most players no longer play in their own State. This is the reason why the AFL is so against playing Origin. SA VS VIC would highlight that the Crows and Power have almost no South Australians playing for them.

    I believe that it probably has never be so easy for clubs to accept (in hindsight) a GF defeat by less than a goal. It was indeed a fair result, both teams where pretty equal overall. Of course swans fans can say “one point, we could have won 2006 as well”, but in the same vain, they could have lost 2005. Same goes for the Eagles the other way around. I believe the fact that both got their well deserved flag makes the rivalry so beautiful.

    Pushing the cats out to the flanks to have their shots at goal was a key factor in them missing alot of them. They only managed to get through the cluster when we made mistakes moving the ball. That's how Mooney and Ottens had those simple shots that they missed which personified how the match turned out. If it wasn't for the brilliance of Ablett who was the only one able to regularly get his way through they may have lost by more.

    Whilst I agree that the Father/Son rule is indeed unique and highly 'romantic', it is by far the most unequal advantage giver to any team. Genetics isn't fair (especially if you are a St Kilda supporter) and that some teams just keep seeming to get more and more talented players by essentially luck, it means teams that actually need them won't realistically have access to them. As far as I am concerned, it also forces (if the player so desires to play for them) a young player to carry extra weight of expectations on their shoulders. If they were drafted by another team, at a position that truly reflects their value/potential, that is far less likely to be the case.

    Amazingly, to this day I still feel the saints were robbed. Sure, freo did win in reality. However, an AFL match ends when the umpire blows his/her whistle, not when the timeclock was meant to signal the end of the game, not when the siren was supposed to sound and certainly not when the afl steps in and changes the rules... If the saints got the 2 points from that result they would have made the top 4 and could have maybe (******maybe*****) stolen a premiership. Frustrating how afl rules and rule changes effected the saints in 2006, 2010.

      the rule should be void for the sake of the integrity of the afl in this kind of situation and hah, no way saints were beating sydney or west coast in the finals if they needed a daylight robbery to go their way to make top 4 thats just like saying ben keays "point" wasn't actually a goal against sydney because the goal umpire ruled it as a behind come on, its common sense, its actually shocking to see how much it lacks and if anything, freo would have been more likely to beat the eagles instead of the crows in the first qualifying final (as they would have been 4th and eagles were 1st) and the dockers beat the eagles twice that season, so if there was more a team that was likely to steal a premiership between the two, it was definitely fremantle

    the stupid thing about the showdown is that Port Magpies never played the Crows, ever. The Crows are a compilation of all SANFL teams, port included. I think it makes sense for Port to wear it during a heritage round, but really the true showdown is Power vs. Crows. Power represents ports will at separating from the sanfl and being a bigger club.
