has quit GWS and wants a trade to Geelong.

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

IT's on GWS website.
Not exactly a rumour

 

[HaroLad]

DO NOT PUBLISH

 

[acm21]

Most likely will be Geelong, but nothing about the Geelong has been confirmed yet.

 

[Mudman85]

Apparently Andrew Forrest also put in an offer but he has chosen the Cats

 

[Damon_3388]

Reported by the AFL website now too.

 

[schmuttt]

Clearly Geelong, he just won't nominate until their finals campaign is over.

 

[AFLFootyChick]

He's had a face like a cat's bum all year, clearly not happy, so not surprised he's walked.

 

[masai]

Hope that Geelong does not pay top dollar for him. Yep, he is a good player, but after this season’s output, his price should be below top dollar.

I assume that Geelong will make his salary fit, due to taking up the slack from Ablett + another retiree.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

It's going to be tough on Geelong when they receive a trade ban. As Gil says "They can't have them all"

 

[mouncey2franklin]

A lot of key forwards on the market this year.

Still sooking about not being able to cheat I see

Getting A BCF store as a kicker.

Cheating is a club running a drug program to gain advantage still defecting I see

I think you meant deflecting but they both work in this instance.

 

[sprockets]

Maybe he meant defecating, ie, talking s**t?

 

[matthew_s]

Does make spruiking free agency as a tool of equalization look pretty silly.

Did anyone believe that?

of course not, but it would be nice for the campaigners who said it to be reminded every time something like this happens

Have no idea what your talking about cola boy

 

[Sarcoidevo]

AFL just need to put a cap on the number of free agents a club is allowed over a period of years - as an example

- only one Tier 1 FA (Rd 1 comp) every 4 years
- only one Tier 2 FA (end of Rd 1 comp) every 2 years
- only one Tier 3 FA (Rd 2 comp) every year
Any amount of Tier 3 & 4 FAs (end of Rd 2 & Rd 3) every year

If a trade is worked out instead then the above does not apply

So if Geelong nab Cameron as a FA and he is classed as Tier 1 FA (so no trade) then they have to wait another 4 years to get another Tier 1 FA

I'd forget about the last 10 years if I was an essendon supporter too.

The problem is that is still very generous. Tier 1 is open ended. If Polec was a FA, he would have probably got band 1. Noone reasonably thinks he's the same quality as Lynch, Cameron, Dangerfield, etc. If you got 2 absolute top tier players in 5 years, that is too much. It also wouldn't be workable as the club wouldn't know if they could do the deal until the tier has been worked out, which would then reveal the compo, which the AFL doesn't want. Under your system, Geelong are still probably entitled to a few more high quality FAs over the next couple of years.

Why under my system would Geelong be entilted to more Band 1 or 2 FAs?

Not sure you are making any sense
