I've heard it all now. Blakey is an academy player by coincidence. He was always going to play afl footy via a father/son pathway regardless of the academy. Hiscock, Foote, jack and robinson have all been delisted. Bell can't even break into the team. So we are looking at a potential strike rate of 6/2400 regular afl players. Thats including naismith who is riddled by injury and picked up in the rookie draft and Wicks who was a category B rookie too. I'd argue it's 4/2400. Let's not forget this is a team everyone tipped for bottom 4! Now you win 3 games and the rest of the footy world cries poor. No consideration for the millions of dollars the club pours into the academy. Half of the other clubs in the competition wouldn't be able to afford to fund an academy.
I don't hear Geelong complain when they pick up players on the cheap via the "go home factor". Dangerfield and Cameron headline that list.

Cameron cheap? 3 first rounders, not a bunch of obscure high picks.
