Does Scott Thompson just get disregarded here? Yes he played 39 for the Dees, but 308 in total, with the vast majority for us.
In my view, it doesn't count if you played less than a quarter of your games for the other club.

Rules don’t allow players to be traded within 12 months of signing an extension.
Where is that rule? Seems strange. I know there’s a rule that doesn’t allow players to be on—traded in the same trade period. Never heard that it lasts
for another trade period.
Okay but as we all know, they just make up the rules as they go so they can manufacture whatever outcome they want. They would just make up some sob story to justify it. "Port given reprieve to allow Bergman to leave for family reasons".
It’s called the Hefferman Clause.

“However, when Essendon ran into salary cap issues at the end of the 2002 season, he was traded to the Melbourne Football Club for a swap of first round draft selections.[1][2]
His trade to Melbourne only months after signing a three-year contract with Essendon, prompted the AFL Players Association to introduce the Heffernan Clause into the players standard collective bargaining agreement, to prevent players from being traded within 12 months of signing a contract.[3]“
Given how many people in the media just assume Bergman is going to be part of any NWM trade, I'm not clear on thisrule?

Maybe you need to hit the sweet spot.Debunks the air flight theory then
Boomer harvey was just a normal sized person, right? (Despite looking small next to your standard AFL mutant).
Maybe there's something in how well you fit into a plane seat.

Josh Schache re-signed then was traded. I think that rule is long since phased out.It’s called the Hefferman Clause.

This is the Clause.
"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...”
Yeah... I was looking at AFL Tables, which only lists the games he played for the AFC.

Wouldn't it be a shame if Port's NWM trade got vetoed

I listened to the Tradies podcast this afternoon and Mitch Cleary suggested at the end of the show that “a star of the competition that re-signed in the past 12 months is considering a move back to his home state”. He then quickly walked back “star” stating that star was too strong and that he was just a good player. That ticks all those boxes.

Ross can talk.
Goes on about the saints seniors being fine at the club, then says they’ll be holding them to their contracts.
You don’t need to hold them to their contract if they are happy there.

Surprised, seems a bit arbitrary. Heffernan had the power in that deal, he didn’t have to go. For every Heffernan there’s potentially a player who changes their mind or who could get a much bigger offer and want to go. Reckon AFLPA jumped at shadows on this one, more restrictive than protective I reckon.
I don't really count Eddie Betts - 350 games, 132ish for us incuding his 300th.
Thommo I feel deserves to be listed amongst the other 4 (soon to be 5)

Interesting. I havent listened to it yet. Did they give any hints it was him? Im not sure what other players he could be referring to. Pickett would be the only other one I could think of, and makes sence.
He wanted to go home. Melbourne offered him the deal of a lifetime. He signs the deal, meaning wherever he goes clubs have to match it, and then asks for a trade to go home.
He strikes me as guy who would do it.

seems like its been removed
While the Heffernan Clause was significant at the time, it was later removed or altered. It is no longer a part of the AFL's current CBA.
AI Overview
The Heffernan Clause in the AFL refers to a provision in the players' Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) introduced in 2002, following Chris Heffernan's controversial trade from Essendon to Melbourne. The clause aimed to protect players from being traded against their will shortly after signing a new contract, specifically preventing trades within 12 months of a contract's commencement.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
The Situation:
In 2002, Chris Heffernan was traded to Melbourne only three months after signing a new contract with Essendon. This trade was unpopular with many Essendon fans and led to the AFL Players' Association (AFLPA) pushing for a change.
The Clause:
To address this issue, the AFLPA successfully negotiated for the inclusion of the Heffernan Clause in the CBA. This clause stipulated that a player could not be traded within 12 months of signing a new contract.
Impact:
The Heffernan Clause was designed to provide greater protection to players, ensuring they had a degree of security after committing to a new contract. It prevented clubs from trading players shortly after they had agreed to new terms.
Subsequent Changes:
While the Heffernan Clause was significant at the time, it was later removed or altered. It is no longer a part of the AFL's current CBA.
Heffernan clause might not last long
doubt its Pickett. He already had another year or 2 on his contract before extending for many more years. And as the Dees highest contracted player - or close to - I cant see how he wouldnt be deemed a 'star'
Bergman ticks all the boxes here. I know people in the industry are 100% convinced Bergman is leaving Power at the LATEST in 2027 when he becomes a FA. Ditto Butters next year
