Opinion Do we REALLY want Jack Steven from St. Kilda?

[Strange Cat]

I remember talk about a fax machine playing up close to the deadline, not sure who was involved in that. Here's hoping Geelong get all our trades done seamlessly then s**t hits the fan with the other 17 clubs.

Might be thinking of the exact same story I just can’t remember the details beyond thre fax machine and deadline ect

Saying on trade radio that apparently no trades allowed today before 3pm. Is this a joke or what? No wonder the Smith & subsequent Steven trade have been held up. Well I'll see you lot back here at 3.

Stage managed bullshit

Honestly laughable. No AFL staffers are even there until 3pm.

Foxfooty.com.au has contacted multiple list managers who are in the thick of negotiations — and it’s understood no trades can be signed off until at least 3pm.
Each list manager that was contacted confirmed the window for trade lodgements was between 3pm and 7.30pm. One list manager contacted by foxfooty.com.au said: “We can’t do anything at the moment. They don’t have the staff there until 3pm.”

Hopefully in the mad rush the paperwork for the Daniher or Hill trade is lost and they miss the 7:30pm deadline. Hilarious that you can't submit a trade that everyone's agreed to on the final day of trade period because they decided to bar all movement for the first 3/4 of the day.

As long as the paperwork is done before the deadline it doesn't matter
You can submit it after 7.30

Never change AFL

Never change AFL

They are condensing everything into the last 4 hours to crash bigfooty so everyone has to run to the AFL web site.

Really the Brownlow as an indicator of ' the best. Firtsly it is the Umpires vote and secondly Stevens hardly had any competition for a vote. Unlike Geelong who have a number of stars competing for votes each week.

yeah, and the other 9 players in that top ten are all spuds .....

The AFL a such a bag of dicks. They book this trade period fo this long then shorten the time last day when the most conjestion would occur.

Just plain morons - all so that they can run coverage into the 6pm news.

Such a tin pot organisation its embarrassing.

Go Catters

Just waiting for the AFL to introduce a trade rule where teams have 30 minutes to thrash out a trade deal, and if no consensus is reached within the time limit, the deal is determined by a best out of 3 in paper, rock, scissors.

or a variation on speed dating?

18 votes in a team that won 4 games for the season is a fair effort - clearly went ok because it's not always easy to get votes in a losing side

I heard he won the Vest & Fairest.

They should do a variation of George Carlin's prison reform idea. Have four sealed off areas with the absolute worst members of society in them - most violent, worst drug offenders, worst perverts, and flat out fruitcakes. Have a sliding door that opens every 5 minutes in a random direction and the teams recruiters have to run through and dodge them while they sign the paperwork. Tom Browne to commentate.

Would make outstanding viewing.
