AFL admits to making a mistake in the massive trade which sent Jaeger O’Meara to Hawthorn
THE AFL has admitted to making a blunder in this year’s biggest trade — Jaeger O’Meara to Hawthorn.

Confusion surrounded the blockbuster deal until the AFL clarified on Tuesday that the Hawks had been allowed to part with their first two selections in next year’s draft.

AFL rules state that once a club trades its future first-round pick, it cannot trade any additional future picks.

Haha how did I know a Titus was coming along.

Hopefully the screw up stuffs Hawthorn for many years anyway.
I don't really understand how they could get it so wrong.

The best bit of the whole thing is that by playing Gold Coast, Port will lose any benefit they think they will get from the exposure.
Chinese interest are not in Pt Adelaide - but they have plenty of interest in the Gold Coast!!
Nice of Port to help GC out though...
Gold Coast had to lose 2 home games anyway because of the Commwealth Games - its $600k for playing away when they would have had to do it for nothing anyhow

"Gold Coast was already on track to lose two home games in 2018 because of the Commonwealth Games."

Suns also already have China connections

"They will be paid more than $600,000 for the trip to Shanghai according to News Corp, and will further benefit their sponsorship agreement with Chinese technology company Huawei, along with their stadium sponsorship of Metricon."

Win / win for Suns if you ask me '

the guy signing off on deals has either made a big mistake or worse, tried to sneak one through for Hawthorn to help them get O'Meara done
Well to be fair to the guy signing off on it no one else has really picked up on it in the media have they?

They do not make mistakes. The original wording was put there to guard against non Victorian teams trying to cheat. But when it is to the benefit of a Victorian team, wording get misinterpreted so they can change the outcome. Point in question: When Essendon got penalised 2 first and 2 second round picks for doping, they complained that that would stop them from acquiring a FS. So the VFL said " Sorry, we forgot about that. You can have one first round back for that."
P.S.- The action in the quoted words may not have happened exactly as stated, but the end result is correct.

Well, Hawthorn broke the rules so they should be penalised. Doesn't matter that the AFL screwed up, Hawthorn knew or should have known what they were doing. GCS for that matter, too.

Won't happen of course, just saying.

The other clubs need to raise absolute hell about this - on top of Geelong's dodgy deal.

Mitchell should be forced into the PSD with his contract amount set by whatever the Hawks are paying him

OK forget about Essendon getting pick 1 and all the other stuff, that's just policy decisions that people disagree with.

This and the Geelong deal are a whole new level of stuff up, of Biblical proportions. The other clubs should be ropable, and public, about this. This is just Not On.
