We didn't make an offer, he'd already re-signed in February. We certainly didn't seek one
Brcause they constantly talk to contracted WA players to get them home. Not tha I personally have an issue with it. Good on 'em if they can get the players they target to nominate them.

Wasn't the Footscray's captain contracted when the Giants chased him out of the kennel?
Every club does it, the fact he's contracted means you don't have to trade him if you don't want to, which is exactly what is happening.
Get over it.

He publicly announced he wanted out, as you'd expect a contracted player to do

I agree op.
To answer your question:
The exact point at which clubs should have been santioned for targetting contracted players is 12 September 2011.
BINGO!
Glass houses and all that ....

I think it would be reasonable to assume that NOBODY wants to be at GWS, it's a bit like working in Dubai or Saudi... the pay is great, but you're really just holding out for as long as you can to feather your nest > therefor when rival clubs offer GWS players even better money than they are currently on, it's a no brainer... they absolutely want to leave and regret signing any contracts.
I hope the saints aren't charged for bringing the game into disrepute

Welcome 2020....will GWS keep anyone above 25....? At the crux of it Great Western Sydney isn’t a great place to make a living....especially in a team that has more supporters at AFL house than at the games.I think it would be reasonable to assume that NOBODY wants to be at GWS, it's a bit like working in Dubai or Saudi... the pay is great, but you're really just holding out for as long as you can to feather your nest > therefor when rival clubs offer GWS players even better money than they are currently on, it's a no brainer... they absolutely want to leave and regret signing any contracts.

btw, didnt ryan griffen seek a trade to GWS whilst he was still contracted?
Is this the worst thread on Bigfooty? Probably.
A supporter of GWS, the club which poached half a dozen up and coming players for nothing with an inflated salary cap because the AFL allowed it, crying because another club dared to chase a contracted player who if actually landed would have rewarded the club who they took him from with an agreed upon and equitable deal.
'Denigrate a competitor' hahaha hows the audacity

More chance the AFL will be for giving Cats pick 19 as Motlop compensation!
Now THAT'S a rort.

That some at GWS get pissed off at losing some small fraction of the multitude of top picks they've been gifted, doesn't mean there is some evil intent behind clubs looking at those players.

We didn't lose Tomlinson and were never going to. We dont usually lose our targeted players. This really is about the process.

One day, when you're a real club and actually have to go out and try and get players to come to you (rather than players who just want in to ride the coattails to get the AFL gifted flags), come back and talk to us then.

We're a real club now though. Do you make the same accusation of the Hawks? It describes them better than us, and I suspect they would say success is self perpetuating to some extent.

were the Hawks gifted a team of first round picks?
and no, you're not a real club. You're a franchise...simple way of telling the difference is who owns you...a club is owned by it's members.
You're an AFL owned and operated body, who still relies on your owner for practically everything.
