The Association Football AFL Thread

[chef]

We've been into Bruce and Keath for months.

 

[RPCB]

From my lazy research an offer was reported as being tabled at least 3 weeks ago. Is that not tapping up?

An apparent contract offer. Ellis wasn’t a Suns player a month ago. Unless you’re reading from an ITK, I don’t take much notice of websites like that.

As for tapping up, you can’t stop teams outside the finals from dangling contracts in front of FA players. You just can’t sign the player

Right.. Might be worth not being so naive.

You probably think Harley was genuine about what he and Daniher chatted about when he was up in Sydney a month ago?

I’d have to google that because I have no idea what Harley said.

Trade period starts less than a week after the last game and goes for less than two weeks.

The only way it works is if players managers are speaking to clubs during the season

They were just catching up from their AIS days or something.

Yeah, I just read the story. Now that just sounds like crap after today’s news that Daniher has nominated the Swans. Probably the worst kept secret in football tbh.

Almost as bad as Ellis joining the Suns.

Joe Daniher going to Sydney is a tad more news worthy than Brandon Ellis going for a retirement check in Gold Coast.

Didn't say anything about newsworthiness.

Also Ellis is 26...

AFL really needs to do something about in season tapping up.

Danniher / Swans?

 

[jd2010]

Tapping up contracted players I thought wasn't allowed but there probably is no actual rules against it is there?

 

[RPCB]

We have officially entered stupid season

Where did Marc Murphy’s dad play? Lol.

 

[jod23]

Announce Kelly already.

 

[RPCB]

Announce Kelly already.

Expect the bigger trades towards the end of the trade period.

I was just joking mate. If we get him it won't be until real late in the trade period I'd imagine.

 

[jd2010]

how many days is trade period this year? seems to change up every year

 

[Magma]

the anger at someone dare requesting to leave essendon to go outside victoria is highly amusing.

"It's a deal that we need to consider. There's always too high of a price. It's what is fair and reasonable in any market circumstances. We acknowledge he's a very good player for their football club and we acknowledge that a heavy price needs to be paid." - Craig Vozzo

Nice.

 

[chef]

Hes not worth more than two first rounders imo.

Gaff is going to Geelong, isnt he?
