We know how it works. Many of us are speaking for ourselves, not the club. We don't always agree with what they do. Baker isn't a need but the club seems to think we are in a place where we can start bringing in that sort of player. It doesn't always seem that way to me. But what would I know
No McDonald was playIng well at league level for Perth. None of the others have been able to achieve that. He would be nice, but we wished and hoped for years that Hogan would come to Freo and that ended up being an expensive mistake. I think we should just develop our own and keep building our...
That's a good point and makes it more complicated. I imagine the AFL would decide what GC would have to give up. Like they do with compo and academy. So for a bottom 8 team for instance, the price is their next pick outside the first round or preferably the next round pick as stands before...
Free agency was not about getting free players, it was about players being able to move if they wanted to after they had given service to their original club.I can't think of one fair reason why Richmond should get Lynch and still keep their first round pick.
Teams losing players should be compensated by the afl, but the team receiving the free agent should have to lose their draft pick commensurate to the value of the player. i.e Richmond would lose their 1st rounder for lynch etc.
You probably aren't old enough or are too delusional to know what a basket case your club was when you first joined the Afl even with all the ludicrously generous concessions you were given.
When they put taller quickish players on him he lost his potency a little and he makes too many skill errors to use his pace up the ground. Hard to know if our highly defensive/low creativity game style just stifled his strengths, if so you will get a bargain.
A sponsor should never be allowed to dictate to the AFL where the players they are supporting can go.
The financial health of the 18 AFL clubs has been laid bare, with only six making profits without substantial help from the league's governing body, an analysis of the competition's finances...
High picks should have been taken out of the system to get quality academy players but instead the northern clubs gave those picks to other clubs for next to nothing. That has added selections in the first and high second round that should never have existed. I have every reason to complain.
He has included the academy players that clubs will use later picks to get, not first rounders (except for GWS). Technically, it has pushed pick 22 and 23 back to the 26th -27th best player, much to my endless annoyance. If it's not compensation picks then it is the manipulation of the first...
