Seems like a bullshit system rushed in by the AFL to try and stop the 14 other Clubs to stop ■■■■■■■■ and moaning about GC, GWS, Brisbane and Sydney continually being gifted access to top 10 talent on the cheap.
Already GWS has access to two blokes who are rated potential top 5 picks next year through their bullshit academy despite the fact they have a very good chance to be the reigning premiers.
Maybe the Northern clubs should only be able to access players through their academies if they play fewer than 10 TAC Cup games.
The TAC thing makes it completely worthless. So you have to sign up a kid before their 16th birthday. You put the dev in, they get good, they get selected for TAC Cup. Your investment is now gone.Just do what GWS do. Identify them at 15 and them send them to a private school in Melbourne with a good footy program. Only instruct them that they are only to play school footy.
Yup.
Plus wouldnt Jy Simpkin be able to be claimed by Richmond if the rules applied this year? Get them to sit out the back half of the year with ‘injuries’.

AFL let GWS get away with. Victorian clubs would get slapped for draft tampering.
