Interesting choice of wording in the title, by the Author...

BP. Does South get anything for the 2 players in compensation. If it was a local player there would be a transfer fee. Irra especially is not AFL standard.

No transfer fees, no...

I think they will get some financial incentive for having players drafted...

It was actually Collingwood he was listed by, not Port Adelaide Power...

That was an error by me, of which I've corrected the original...

No they don't get an incentive for being drafted . Each club receives a one off payment which I believe is $50 G regardless.

What a joke it is , draft , pre season draft and a Rookie draft. Have the age of the draft lifted to 20 and maybe 1 18 year old . Have one draft and thats it. State leagues will be stronger and then the AFL clubs will actually invest less in them. The stupidity of it all is amazing. They call themselves organisations ? Hardly a way to run one.

Hope this hasn't offended anyone.

Clubs do actually get extra for players drafted, over and above the $50K a year all clubs get.

There is a 'top-up' payment depending on the numbers drafted from each club.

Which is ?

Different depending on how many players drafted from each club.

Obviously . Which is ?

Please dont take offence , it is a simple question as you did mention it is different in your first reply.

It's calculated by a complex formula and I have no idea how that works.

As a guess, allied to some limited knowledge, it could be between $5,000 and $50,000.

Sam Colquhoun signed by Sturt!

Central District have secured John Butcher's signature...

Very good signing by the Dogs.

Why Colquhoun to Sturt, BP?

At least you'll get $25K.

From what I am lead to believe, it was pretty much $ related...

But also about what needs the club had for specific player types...

With all due respect Phil , it would not be money. Maybe more long the lines of Leadership and success but not money.

Money certainly played a major part in it, waddyamean...

The other speculative points are a matter of opinion...

My understanding is 50k a ckub a year

There is a pool of money for drafted players from afl to sanfl which is deoendent on x amount if players drafted at National draft not rookie.

Then a percentage of the pool is dished out depending on the percentage of players taken from the 8 clubs

Eg 10 players and your club lose 2 then 20 percent of remaining pool goes to your club.

If a rookie is upgraded in the nationsl draft it counts otherwise bugger all.

Happy to be corrected on my understanding

I'd have more chance of understanding my tax than that

As far as the sanfl is concerned, the AFL rookie draft in particular, is just a form of ethnic cleansing to keep 2 sanfl clubs competitive. You could even call it a selective rort.

Choose local lads to give them a sniff. Maybe they might get games, most not.
How many rookies does each AFL club de-list on average at season's end each year?

I think the afl rookie draft needs to go. Just pick your players out of the draft and be done with it. That you can put veterans on a rookie list is just plain ridiculous.

I agree, the whole set up is that lopsided, having a salary cap at all makes equity and fairness meaningless. Financially, yes there is a reason and justification for it. But on competitive terms, no.
