Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but my understanding is that GC and GWS are not allowed to speak to contracted players. Currently every AFL player is under contract, at least until the end of this year. Yet GC have said that they would like to announce the players that they have already signed. What is holding them back is an AFL rule regarding mid-season announcements.
Since the whole GC and GWS situation is a one off (or two off) maybe the AFL could relax the rule for the next couple of years and minimise the rediculous media frenzy that is going on at the moment.
Again correct me if i am wrong, but is not possible that Gary Ablett, has already signed with the GC but both the GC and Ablett are prevented from saying anything due to AFL policy?
If the GC has said that they have signed players and would like to announce them, does this not mean that there is x number of players lieing to the clubs about their intentions for next year, again due to AFL policy?
