They don't get anything.

There's no players falling out of the AFL mid-season.

You don't go and get to pick up someone that, you know, you could have if they were going to, you know, if the clubs take someone from your club, they're not going to give you one back.

So it's a bit one way.

And we all understand that because we want the dream.

Young men want the dream and young girls want the dream to be able to play AFL football now.

So for those players, you need to give them that opportunity.

I think the mid-season draft is one way to do that.

And we've seen in the last couple of years, Gerard, how many get to play.

Like it's not one or two.

It's almost all of them get an opportunity because you've got to realise that they're playing at the best level.

Most of them, most of those boys who were picked last night are playing at the best level below them, below the AFL, and they're playing very well.

So they get their opportunity.

And various ages, wasn't that?

You know, 27-year-olds and –

19-year-old.

It's a broad catchment field that you can get out of it.

I think that's a no-brainer for the AFL.

It's not so successful for the feeder clubs.

The mid-season trading period, I sit back and I think about it regularly and I go, how would this work really well?
