I will say it again and again the trade value on picks after the top 5 are far to high, classic being the Howard trade this year.

If you haven’t got a top 5 pick you might as well have pic 22.

agreed. Hence why I wasn't too concerned about trading pick 9 for Papley. Papley himself isn't worthy of pick 9 but if you have an informed look at the draft, the clubs would know what pick 9 will get you (ie, not a Papley - someone who will hit the ground running in 2020).

Stop underselling, everyone knows Papley is a top 2 pick :butthead:

I think we are trying to get a higher first round pick this year. By doing that trade we get back in a 2nd round pick for next year meaning we are able to trade out next years first round pick. You are not allowed to trade both your 1st and 2nd round future picks

FFS. Just laughable.

The AFL is considering slashing the halftime break from 20 minutes to 10 in a radical move aimed at reducing the length of football matches.

Club chief executives were briefed on the proposal by league supremo Gillon McLachlan and football operations boss Steve Hocking at a meeting at AFL House ahead of last night’s national draft.

Clubs were told the plan was aimed at maintaining the interest of fans at the ground and watching on TV.

It would see the traditional halftime Auskick matches shifted to the pre-game slot.

A league spokesman confirmed the changes were a serious option for the 2020 season.

The quarter-time and three-quarter time breaks will remain at six minutes, the spokesman said.

Ex-Sydney player Luke Ablett tweeted the idea was “incredibly f---ing stupid”.
Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett expressed dismay at the move.

“Well, of course, this is the first I’ve heard about it,” Kennett said.

“It might be one thing for the CEO’s to be told, and maybe the CEO’s will inform their boards, but this is a fundamental change to the game.

“You would have to be concerned about the effect on players, who have spent considerable time on the field before the halftime break and what this will do to their physical wellbeing.”

The plan comes just days after the AFL floated another plan for players to challenge umpire decisions and call for their own goal reviews.

“I can’t believe that is right because if that is correct, it will potentially lengthen the game by minutes if not hours,” Kennett said.

“Maybe AFL head office is just entering the silly season.

The former Victorian premier said the AFL “hadn’t been interested in the history of the game for years”.

“We’ve now got three umpires, they talk of four. There are rule changes almost every year.

“The AFL are not the proud protectors of the historical game – they have created a new game altogether.

“They are running the risk – again – of putting the viewing public totally off-side.”

But Geelong captain Joel Selwood said he would support a move to truncate games.

“Even being a fan of footy, people can lose interest really quickly so to cut the games shorter with the halftime period, I am all for that,” he told the Herald Sun.

“It takes you three minutes to get down and three minutes to get back up so you are already wasting six minutes already.

“To be honest it wouldn’t be much of a change for us. I reckon you would stay up and play it for what it is.”

Selwood said he understood the importance of maximising appeal for fans in a competitive sporting marketplace.

“We have to kick more goals and make sure it’s quick but we have to get the coaches on board. It’s more just as a fan I am saying it,” he said.

“Change is good. I am for change.”

Essendon coach John Worsfold said he wouldn’t be fussed if the AFL made the change.

Recruiting sources said the halftime reduction, mooted just an hour before Fridau night’s draft, had the potential to change how they ranked players.

Prospects with poor endurance could be looked upon less favourably in lineball decisions. They also said it would create havoc for high-performance teams.

One scout joked that coaches would ping hamstrings while attempting to sprint to the rooms for the halftime break.

I actually like the idea, can shorten the length of time the commentators talk rubbish on tv and amount of ads for starters, plus when you're at the footy all you do at half time is just wait around, sit on your phone, stuff your face with overpriced food and drink and watch the Auskickers while waiting for the real stuff to come back on. Would be shit for the young Auskickers though not having enough time to be in the limelight for 10/15 mins if it was shortened.

Can't see it happening though as it wouldn't benefit the AFL, tv broadcasters and the gounds as they would lose too much revenue.
And I value the opinion of a bloke actually playing the game and knows how much it would impact him and his team in Joel Selwood rather than some old bloke in Jeff Kennett that thinks he knows how it would effect a professional athlete.
