Melbourne have had plenty of handouts… Tigers were given a priority pick back in 2004.

Northern academies will stay for us long as first round draft picks nominate homesickness as to why they won’t move interstate. AFL will contrive a result that allows North to be assisted after years of own goals.

Father son from the NRL?

Wasn’t Ryan Griffen the Bulldogs captain also contracted when he went to the Giants?

Salary cap would be freed up with Hannebery and Rohan being moved on. Picks currently 12 and a first rounder next year would get it done. Not a bad tweet but surprised if it happened.

Kieran Jack has another year to go on contract but form has slipped over the last 12 months. May call it time.

Bit premature re Smith. Grundy may not get another contract. McVeigh may play on but not at the Swans.

Hayward has been a success. Florent needs a couple more preseasons and then he can play in his preferred position.

It was a lot for a player with potential.

Pick 5 is lot for a player who was suspended for a year. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

If you say so.

St Kilda last year may disagree.

Hawks in the 2000's were dodge with some of their trades but these days seem to trade with other clubs easily. Essendon these days seem to play hard ball on every deal no matter how trivial. Most clubs however will work to get things done. I guess if JOM ends in the PSD then you could argue...

Sam Mitchell deal is big only because the media were blindsided by it.

8 years or 10 to be a UFA?

Mark Stevens its the same stuff he comes up.

Free agency has its failings. Can't knock a team for having a crack at the flag through the trade period. I think the cats are heading to the cliff with their strategy, trade a 24 year old for a 29 year old.

Geelong are paying the penalty for having to trade for a free agent in Dangerfield last year. They have no picks and have to give up more to get something back.

This thread is more entertaining than actually listening. Pretty sure every caller who sites they have heard a rumour about a player has just been on Big Footy.

Mitchell should get to the Hawks with pick 14 and either 2017 2nd round pick 2017 or what pick they get for Hill going to Freo. JOM for a player and future first rounder? Not sure how the Cats get there deals done given the low currency value of Motlop, Vardy and Kersten.

A dust up would assume that Barrett stood and defended himself. Barrett would have dropped to the floor in the foetal position after Leppa headed his way.

Harlett for a second rounder? Think Port would pass.

Luke Breust won't be at the Hawks.

Slap on the wrist? We couldn't trade for players for 2 years. Clubs who breach the salary cap or tank get less of a penalty.

14 other clubs have strong schools competition and state leagues. Nothing silly about the academy it's trying to lure talented kids away from league/Union to develop a stronger grass roots hold in the northern states.

Swans money not AFL runs the academy. What would the incentive be if you spent your own money and nothing at the end? Hence the discount is an incentive.

No chance.

Would have to be a swap of picks as well.

Leo Barry took a while to get going as he started out as a forward but the move down back saved his career.

He can take a mark and plays forward as the resting ruck, aggressive around the contest (like Mumford) but lacks speed to be a true mobile forward like a Tippett. Endurance has improved. Played well this year in the games he's started in. Only dropped because Tippett came back in.
