These players CANNOT be traded. There is a rule stating that a player cannot return to his home state 1 year after being drafted. Just thought id let you guys know, especially Freo supporters.

EDIT: Who likes my spelling? Disregard the Title.

Results 1 - 10 of about 64 for comfiramtion on google :p

And 19,900 entries for rulse. The urban dictionary defines it as a rabbit's pulse.

So we agree that Browne and Armfield have rabbit pulses. Must have something to do with their fast twitch fibres that give them their speed.

Funny, I would have thought we would have comfiramation of Carrots having a rulse too.

Why would you be trading them? It's pick 24 or nothing, isn't it? :confused:

A section of the AFLPA CBA...

  • 18.5 No AFL Club shall exchange any Player unless the Player has been given as much notice as possible by the AFL Club of its intention to trade without any duress being applied by the AFL Club, its employees or agents to the player and the Player genuinely consents to the trade.

    18.6 In the event that the provisions of sub clause 18.5 operates, in the reasonable opinion of the AFLPA, in a manner inconsistent with the spirit and intention of the parties in introducing that clause, the following provision shall apply from a date to be agreed between the AFLPA and the AFL:


    • “Save and except where in the opinion of the General Manager – Football Operations, there are exceptional and compelling circumstances that make it harsh and unconscionable for a Player not to be exchanged, no AFL Club shall exchange any Player who has not completed at least one AFL Season under his current contract with the AFL Club or such lesser period as agreed between AFL and AFLPA”.



    18.7 When a first year Player is first drafted by an AFL Club, that Player and the AFL Club shall enter into a playing contract for a minimum term of two years except in the case of a Player who has previously been drafted as a Rookie or where the Player is over 23 years of age by 31 December in the year in which he is selected by a Club.



We can't trade Browne....unless there are exceptional circumstances. Simply trying to satisfy a a club when trading for their 206cm ruckman probably wouldn't qualify.
 
we are in the better position than freo of getting wat we wont. Freo are askin for more than 24 but wont get it coz we shall just pick him up in the pre season draft.. so its definetly 24 or nothin for freo!
 
This is the relevant passage:

Any Player selected by a Club at the National Draft Selection Meeting or otherwise included on the Primary List of a Club, shall be ineligible to be included on the Primary List of any other Club for a period of 23 months from the date upon which he is selected or included on the Primary List.
