He might have. Doesn't mean that Carlton or his manager have said anything to the media yet.

GWS currently have pick 8 and will have pick 7 (Collingwood) by the end of trade week.
We could trade for pick 8 so Geelong can't use the ND as a valid option, well they could but we could threaten to take PD at that pick.
8 for 13 + a pick in the 40s (difference between 8 and 13 is 339 points = pick 46).
GWS should be open to this because they will be using a lot of their picks to make up points when they're matching academy picks. Their position is less relevant than their point value.

A cheaper option would be to convince GWS to take him and make it publicly known.
Pay overs for Hampton on the provision that they stand up in the trade room hall, yell out "Hey Geelong!" and hold up a sign that says "pick 8 has PD's name written on it" while grabbing their crotch and thrusting in the direction of the Geelong contingent.
I would say to them "look you have a lot of quality players playing in the NEAFL right now, you know you will be trading valuable uncontracted players over the next few years, it is in your best interest to make the PSD a genuine threat to players and clubs, to make them realise the draft is random so trades are done."

The pattern seems to be that as soon as a player has nominated a club, the whole friggin world knows as a result of the manager leaking to every media outlet.

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
Yep, you are right... hasn't been signed off... but seems inevitable if there is agreement from the AFLPA.
PHASED REFORM OF THE VETERANS ALLOWANCE
• Current veterans allowance to be retained at $118k per eligible player in 2015 and 2016
• Agreement from AFLPA that the veterans allowance will be abolished from season 2017
"The Competitive Balance Policy will be reviewed during 2016 before the AFL Commission establishes a financial strategy for 2017-2021."

Funnily enough, if AFC did that, that would demonstrate some massive kahoonas. You could imagine GWS taking a little joy in facilitating the blocking of poaching of a player given they are often on the end of it.

That would be a great deal. Rates Hampton as a mid-to-late third round pick, which I think is fair. (Doubt GWS would do the trade, but who knows, it does give them academy currency)
Then trade Pick 8 + 48 for Redden + Pick 20 (this rates Redden as Pick 19). On trade pick 20 for Menzel. You'd do this deal after we secure a deal for Dangerfield.
We then go into the draft with the Dangerfield compensation, having turned our existing picks into Redden, Menzel and Hampton

That pick swap is more absurd than ours with Geelong last year!!!
And then threaten to draft a guy who wants to be in a different state? I don't know what planet you're on but Danger will not come back to us via the Draft.
If he goes to the PSD he's going to Geelong. No other club, as much as some are saying now they'll take him, will draft him. Always happens that way. Will be no different this time and the AFC know it.

I'm kind of joking mate. I would never redraft a player with pick 8 that doesn't want to be at your club. But you can threaten it.
Also if he picks the PSD he would be gone at pick 1. But Conners has already said it would be national draft so I can't see the PSD ever being a valid option.

If that's the case, then why does anyone trade. Why aren't there a whole list of players going into the draft each year to avoid trades?
Nah, I don't even want to pretend to want him.

Exactly. Like the Saints list manager said on trade radio. You're picking your 22nd best player in the PSD. If Danger is there, you're taking him.
National draft is a different story. Teams wont want to lose picks with actual value. Although the argument is you'll get your first round pick back next year when you trade him to Geelong.

Because at the end of the day clubs want to keep positive relationships with each other, rather than dodge and weave at the draft table.
And they are saying that next year is an absolute belter of a draft.
So if you are building for a few years time - delaying that pick might be a good plan

Well he finished 8th in your B&F last year
9th the year before
Seeing as he played every game both years is he performing well enough to have contracted for the next 6 years?
Has he ever finished higher in your B&F than his draft pick number?

Yeah they say that but it's actually a load of s**t.
Also where is this Jed Anderson super stud nonsense coming from?
Pacey type worth a punt, sure
But he was never a super prospect. He was pre-listed by GWS who gave him to Hawthorn for the equivalent of a half eaten sandwich before he started.
Since then he hasn't really come on. Pneumonia or not
He hasn't lifted his value and his original value for stuff all.
First round????? Ha ha

Redden doesn't want to move back to Adelaide whilst he's playing AFL apparently as his close mates here are real party animals and love getting on the piss and he doesn't want the distraction of moving back home were always mates are

Are Redden's mates your mates too? If not, what is your source?

My sources is just my friend but my group of mates are from Brighton high and redden and his mates are from sacred heart only a few years apart so they're always mutual friends between those two schools where rumours can spread quickly
