[The Jet]

Two trades now.

Happy Jobe?

The pantskyle trade is surely a piss take.

and the other 1 (Uncle Leo) made a mockery of the trade period.

If it's going to be done, it should be done properly. Either that or no trade period ever, just have it open all season and still have the 2 maximum clubs per player limit.

External circumstances aside every trade completed has fallen within the Sweet FA rules and within the time frame set.

How is that not done properly?

Why dont we just called it Transfer week. That way, you can either transfer two players or one player can transfer elsewhere.

That way, its not a trade, which infers one for one, but just a direct transfer.

It's called a TRADE, 2 players go in opposite directions. You wouldn't see this mockery done in the AFL.

Or just call it Free Agency Period? That's what the ONE poor trade was really.

Two players?

Says who?

Two players?

Says who?

Er seriously? Unless Uncle_Leo is code for Cheese Twisties. Beyond a joke honestly.

Says who?

Not the rulebook, that's for sure.

 

[DemonJim]

How about if the teams getting the player scott-free give 3 premiership points to the team getting nothing? Now that's a trade!

 

[The Jet]

A mockery is made, lets just leave it at that. It's like banging my head against a brick wall. It's so obvious it should be 2 players heading in the opposite direction. But there's always going to be a couple that willingly enjoy to take a piss on it all.

Trade period should be changed to Free Agency period. That's what it really is.

Abiding by the rules makes a mockery of them?

As an Essendon fan can you inform us all which players the Bombers traded Angus Monfries, Scott Gumbleton and Stewart Crameri for?

I must admit, I'm disappointed in your stance on this Eth

I guess you did have a little trouble with the rules once or twice yourself.

I don't recognise any of those peptides.

So that's TWO piss poor trades. Your debates are so hazy.

I agree with that tbh. There have been no trades thus far in this period. Just 2 players walking to their desired clubs for free. C'mon SFA, let's be a bit more professional in this thing!

From memory we traded Monfries for pick 51, Gumbleton for 55 and Crameri for 26. But at least those picks turn into players so we basically traded Monfries for Van Unen, Gumbleton for Fantasia and Crameri for Z.Merrett.

In here, you are trading players for bags of chips. 1) You don't then get players from those chips 2) You're not even receiving the chips. I know it's impossible, but if these chips were to be physically exchanged for the players, at least it would be a trade, regardless of the unprofessionalism it would show. But it's not real so they are walking for nothing, basically going through a loophole for that rule that once your delisted you can't play again that season.

There's no salary cap and we are not making millions of dollars here, this isn't a professional league and if it is then where's my money Bonce?

The first two are potatoes, not players.

So a trade can involve something that isn't a player?

Thanks for clearing that up.

As for being professional, mate, its a online fantasy football game. Sometimes I think people forget this.

PVF I tried to get people to pay.

Don't people realise that the Wonders got pick 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for next seasons draft for me.
