No Oppo Supporters Re-signing Tex, Danger and Sloane *** Crows Only ***

[betterthanu]

Maybe they should make the free agency system work the same as the proposed Academy system. This makes it harder for players to just jump ship to a top 4 team and more likely to go to a cashed up bottom team. This also can mean the the club that loses the player gets fair compensation from the club that gets the player as opposed to the whole comp sliding down a spot in the draft.

If we match and the AFL PA threaten to strike. It could get ugly.

If they strike they'll be a laughing stock. They knew the rules before, and just because we are going to exercise the option which is well within our rights doesn't mean they're allowed to get their knickers in a bunch.

If we match and the AFL PA threaten to strike. It could get ugly.

Lol, no they won't!

What reason would they have to strike?

We are following rules they signed off on!

Restraint of trade.

The AFLPA agreed to the rules, they won't strike. Not all players agree with Free Agency like Tex for example. I'd bet if they went to strike they would find a lot of players would leave the union and ignore the AFLPA, players who don't believe in the cause and players who are not solid in their teams 22 will want to play because their career will rely on it.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Restraint of trade.

Alex the aflpa agreed to the rfa rules in writing - they have absolutely no leg to stand on.

Have you ever done any contract law?

There is no out clause - it is clear cut.

 

[pjcrows]

Not if he stays!

That old chestnut...

 

[Pdub]

Restraint of trade.

The RFA rules allow them to go to the highest bidder, so they aren't restricting them.

 

[BrissyCrow]

This is why I hate the system, regardless.

If Geelong want him, they should have to trade for him.

Getting a gun player for free, and having the rest of the competition contributing to the compensation handed out, it's just stupid.

Absolutely. Why should every other club be penalise by having their draft pick lowered when Geelong get a elite player for nothing. It makes absolutely no sense at all.

You would think that the beneficiary would have to cough up to get Danger. Bloody stupid situation.

 

[Elite Crow]

After we sacrificed Vince as a result of administration cheating, it gave Danger an excuse that loyalty goes both ways. He doesn't owe the club anything besides playing his best each week which he is trying to do.

Well, I just hope we match. Or we will end up with sweet **** all.

 

[Draft Bored]

How many times will Danger get mentioned in the broadcast today?

I'm going for 10.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

That old chestnut...

I choose not to believe media with absolutely no evidence & choose to back in danger's love of Afc & mist importantly he thinks we are back on the right track.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

No it doesn't. Player has to agree.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Well, I just hope we match. Or we will end up with sweet **** all.

We already have said we will.

Why do you think these Vic media types like Jay are now running with their poor Geelong agenda where afc should just do the right thing & handover danger for free...

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

I choose not to believe media with absolutely no evidence & choose to back in danger's love of Afc & mist importantly he thinks we are back on the right track.

So, when will he sign?

hope it doesn't get to the PSD. Hope the old Indian standoff doesn't occour and we get shafted again.

 

[pjcrows]

I choose not to believe media with absolutely no evidence & choose to back in danger's love of Afc & mist importantly he thinks we are back on the right track.

He would have signed already, with full focus on building the season towards finals.

Anyway we've had this argument and I don't want to go around in circles.

I hope you are right.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So, when will he sign?

No idea - probably a month before finals if I were to guess. He's maximising his decision time as wants be absolutely sure we are on the right track.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Already answered that. They are just delivering a message and the AFL have a problem on their hand they don't know how to fix.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

He will not go into the psd as not in anyone's interest, except the bottom club.

Afc & gfc have traded fairly in the past, so would not come to a stand off.

 

[Don Muraco]

How many times will Danger get mentioned in the broadcast today?

I'm going for 10.

Have a beer every time they mention him, you'll be smashed by half time. (At least it may make the game interesting.)

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Already answered that. They are just delivering a message and the AFL have a problem on their hand they don't know how to fix.

Not our problem

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

No idea - probably a month before finals if I were to guess. He's maximising his decision time as wants be absolutely sure we are on the right track.

And when that doesn't happen?

You will just shift the goal posts again.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Not our problem

Ummmm, yeah it is. When we risk losing our best player for nothing or some pittance.
