Then * the system
You and I can change jobs/employers if we want, surely he can say please trade me if he wants

Shut down the draft then and let the kids go anywhere then?
The players join the draft knowing that they could get drafted anywhere and it comes with a two year contract.
If they don’t want to see out that two year contract, which they sign and agree to, then they can sit on the sidelines and wait or don’t apply.
Otherwise get rid of the draft and let the heartland states just dominate the competition even more.

He does have a contract, so they can tell him too bad , too sad, you are ours and then you never know,
Just sometimes I think the reward for being the best player is to go to the worst club, lucky player hey.
But does this happen that often in year one? not that often, if a club is good they wont go or worse case their trade value will not be hurt at a good club.
Not to derail the thread, given the whole issue at a certain club currently, what if player x wants out from a situation that is causing life issues?
If the club wanted to trade the player after a year for whatever reason they would try too as well, or delist after two years if it suited.
No system is perfect and obviously losing your early pick for go home factor is shitty, dont forget yes they sign a contract, but what choice was there once picked?
Cant agree there whats the point of the draft then?

To get new players into the league and give the poor clubs first chance to develop the best talent

That’s the system, the players know it when they join. If their situation is so desperate I am sure they can go home and not play for anyone for a year.
It sets a bad precedent for others to follow. Like the kid who just stated in the media don’t draft me outside Vic or I will leave.
If he gets to be traded you’ll see more and more of this, I have little doubt.
Just go for one year, request a trade, no biggie. It’s a slippery slope.
On another note, at what point does a club get done for inducing a breach of contract? I am sure Port didn’t receive a phone call from him after his exit interview.

Look I absolutely get that side of it, I think we will see more of a push to a players league like the NBA for instance though,maybe the flip side will be players wont need to consent to a trade?
Yep probably some shady stuff in terms of teams in his ear all along, but again all clubs will do that stuff and I mean thats always gone on, for instance Buckley back in the 90s
If I were North id say no

Some clubs can have them all
I think the AFL is the worst run professional sporting organisation in the world, they get a heck of a lot more wrong than right.
The draft system is a mess/FA is a mess/the way they handle scandals is a mess/has the worst umpiring system to understand.
Its pretty fortunate there is no real alternative code to compete against.

Boyd did the same to GWS.
A fair national comp needs a robust draft system. I hope the Roos tell JHF he’s staying, because we could start to lurch into dangerous territory if the draft becomes nothing more than a year in purgatory to some kids, before they get to their preferred venue.

Its currently 2 years in purgatory
could make it 4 I guess, but still will get trade requests

The jhf bombshell leaves me with hope that we could still be up to something
Any NSW players want out oh wai..
Yes, re-signing our players as per Tom Harley.
You could add GWS to that list. They are owned by the AFL and have a policy to not trade with the Swans. So we are the only club in the league that don’t get an opportunity to trade for their stars.
The ‘you can’t have everyone rule’ has been suspended. To be looked at again the next time the Swans win a flag.

They openly said Selwood was on little money so him retiring doesn't open up much. Just constantly have players taking paycuts

Well, doubt we will be getting any A or B listers this trade period.
Huuugggeeee opportunity to improve this years and next years draft hand however with a lot of clubs likely requiring a third party.
Would not be surprised if we are in talks with following:
Bris - our first (17/18) for future first plus future second rounder or swaps for academy/Dunkley
Gee - pick 7 (Bowes) and thier second for our first two picks to trade for Bruhn and Henry
GC - potentially split 17/18 for pick 25 and 31
Pies and Port could also be trading picks for players.
Could be interesting or, more than likely, boring as period
