As I read on facebook the other day, there are 1 year old toddlers running around, who have never seen Hawthorn win a premiership. This is clearly unacceptable.

What's new with the AFL .. Its Hawthorn.. They can do an illegal trade with AFL approval.
I bet no heads will roll because of it geez.
Or are they going to call the Trade ... Null and Void .. no way .. its Hawthorn.
The AFL kiss them.. the Umpires kiss them ..what more can we do for them

We drafted Ebert as a F/S with the AFL's blessing and no one realised he didn't qualify until it was too late.

How did he not qualify?

Russell didn't play the required number of games between the set time frame for F/S.
Given Russell played 400 odd games, you would be forgiven for thinking there's no way Brett wouldn't be eligible but that was the written rule and proof it was an absolute farce which led to zero legitimate F/S selections for either SA club.

391 games for the PAFC is not enough to be eligible for a father-son but 100 games for Collingwood will do it.
As Forzaport posted above, the AFL created farcical father-son rules for non-VFL teams in the AFL so that newly created franchises could father-son players from state leagues even though the fathers never played a single game for the franchise. As a real club with a long history this disadvantaged Ports. The AFL broke their own rules to allow us to father-son Brett Ebert because it was such a bad look but would not allow Brad Ebert to be a father-son selection as Craig only played 112 games for the PAFC.

Well I remember the whole 200 games, instead of 100 for VFL. Was it to do with the timing of Russell's career? ie: He played all his games before the so called qualification period.

Yep.
There's the 'rules' *shakes head* and the 'rules!' *sniles and nods*Edit: also, qouted on 'AFL related Simpsons qoutes' from Facebook
That being said, I think this has a chance to backfire after trading out multiple future picks.

They did two pretty shady deals and the AFL swept the one with the two future picks under the carpet by announcing they had approved the other. There is a rule that where there is an exchange of picks with a significant point difference it may not be approved. St Kilda got 23 and 36 from this year plus Hawthorn's 2017 first rounder. Hawthorn got 10 and 68 back. The AFL said this was OK as they both went into it "with their eyes open", whatever that means.
The trading away of two future picks was in two trades, their 2017 second to Gold Coast and their 2017 first to St Kilda.
The banning of memes hopefully

So all SANFL clubs will have a Womens SANFL team from next year. I wonder if Anna Meares wants to have a go at Port. Also, if it is during the regular season, whether Erin Phillips could be our captain as I think she is only rookied to crers for the games around march.

Looks like it would be very intimidating as an opposition player with a full house in.
