My theory is there's a certain player they don't want known.I'm sure they want to remain anonymous - but I don't get why the AFL would help them out on this front. Fletcher and Jobe have been named in the media. Robbo named a whole bunch. Crameri, Monfries, Ryder have been named. The guys in the WAFL named.
But the AFL is willing to set up a vfl player loan system so that the extra 8 can boycott for anonymity's sake.
I don't get it and sounds dodgy and scammy and that it shouldn't happen. Yet, here we are.
