I think this is the issue
Players are signing contracts but as their ability improves see they can gain more $$$$ by moving and breaking the contract
The afl should make a rule you can't renegotiate your contract whatever yo are on must remain and even extend the term if you leave for a minimum of 3 years on the same cash
Will this deter all these gold diggers and I include Gibbs in that category

For nothing? He's not even a RFA next year. Whatever happens with CC for next year you won't be getting him for nothing, stop dreaming.
The reason if any CC will be blocked, Adelaide are a chance at a premiership CC in the side will help rather than out

I'l throw my hand up and say I wasn't happy about scully due to the nature of how that went down, however, surely we're now past players looking out for themselves and the $$$ involved? If the club can basically move them on (ala Watts) by publicly saying they aren't wanted, then loyalty is gone. The Club looks after the Club, and the player therefore has to look after themselves.
Melbourne was a place players didn't want to play. We lost so many best 22 players to other clubs, often on less money. But say Hoges gets a godfather offer we can't match.... well then we lose him and thats it.

But why do you want players who don't want to be there? Doesn't that ring some alarm bells if you're in the window?

Definitely won't be giving up 2 first rounders, nothing is relative. On actual value Cameron is a mid second rounder.

You came out in the media when you shouldn't have and left him on the alter when you couldn't get a deal done.
Is that it?
Not at all I want a premiership as I said the window is small
If the team is better with him in and a greater chance of s premiership why wouldn't you want that

Why shouldn't they have it was only the truth
Do you have a problem with calling it as it is

Fair call. In truth i would agree with you. And i wish everyone worked out that a player (or a club) is loyal to the duration of his contract.
So you'd be against the calls for Lever to be dropped before the finals?
Then we won't agree
Like I said the window is open would it be better to have CC in the team for another crack before maybe having the window close or accepting a second
Obviously we strive for a premiership the answer speaks for itself
If an attractive offer was on the table where you could use it to help with the premiership you then look at it

So we're talking next year with an out-of-contract Charlie Cameron. He walks to the PSD and Brisbane (who will likely finish low again) get him for zilch. Things are different dealing with bottom teams Vs. top teams, there aren't 10 clubs with picks in the way to scare Brisbane into doing a deal.
Got a long way to go before we get to Essendon status
In a hypothetical situation if I could have a premiership next year but had to let Sloane go for nothing the year after I would do it
That's extreme
But if it's a second this year and CC will help us win the flag he is contracted I would have him in the team

Relevance being?
I agree, then. Adelaide wouldn't trade him this year, and if I was Brisbane I wouldn't use two firsts.
Would you be open to trading Charlie Cameron if you got a player like Puopolo in as well as a first rounder? Puopolo fills that need for a year or two, you draft a young player to fill that position and it's both a short term and long term solution.
Dodongo thinks you are right. Dodongo knows we will get him for a third or fourth rounder. Dodongo then questions what Adelaide wants. Pick 18 this year which is overs or pick 40 odd next year?
Then Dodongo looks at Adelaide's past picks. You will waste 18 on another Doedee so perhaps you want a pick in the 40's or 50's.
You do, but you're making in roads
Perhaps that might stop teams from picking apart your list.

Just maybe that's why adelaide have come out aggressive like SOS and Dodo
Maybe it's the new way to stop this constant raids it may work it may not
But better trying something than nothing at all

So we are hard to deal with because we won’t bend over and let a contracted player go on day 1 of the trade period?

If Port ask for a ridiculous trade I assume we would tell Impey it couldnt be done this year, and let him know we can try again next year when he is uncontracted.
Then we offer Hartung a short term contract. Or if Hartung moves on we move some of the kids around and find the best option at Box Hill.
We arent going to be winning a flag because of Impey. Brisbane may get out of the bottom 4 with Cameron.
Though probably not unless Schache improves a lot or they can get good trade value for him.
