Show me the AFL document that says we introduced FA because of Luke Ball.
Yeah my recollection free agency was introduced cause the Players Association were pushing it for years, nothing really to do with the Luke Ball scenario
But the AFL really did put a flimsy rod up its spine with the whole concept of FA compensation and the disgraceful imbalance of the Buddy Franklin and James Frawley compo picks (for example)
The more you delve into the past 20 or years, the more you will realise what a shoddy and somewhat pitiful sporting organisation the AFL has been, not just for non Victorian clubs either.
