Yep. Look at St Kilda fans who were already circling like vultures the moment Ben King was drafted to Gold Coast, or Adelaide fans with the SA kids Gold Coast drafted. It is really ugly.
AFL need to open things up for Gold Coast, make it so they pretty much get exclusive access to half of Queensland and all of the Northern Territory. There won't be a go home factor for someone drafted from NT.
The NBA have strict anti tampering rules that specifically prevents teams talking to out of contract players/stars until after contract expires (they come down hard if it happens during the season)
The AFL have to bring that rule here and any club found guilty of say talking to Ben King about coming over before the end of season should be stripped of draft picks and cop a massive fine.
