Kind of defeats the purpose. It was supposed to give them mature agers to help strengthen young lists

Agree. It is just more picks for the cycle.

They should be given priority draft access to them. Nominate 2 state league mature age players each who they can have outside the normal list limitation number for 2 years or something similar.

Or just been offered a player that they may have wanted. You know. A mature age player is available to you, pre-draft, if you want one

The clubs need to be left to burn their own bridges.
If they want to go around the back of the system, perhaps even with the AFL's blessing as it is a means of giving them more picks for nothing without the AFL being seen to give them something, then we should let them.

It only serves to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Yeah true. They are more likely to get a 2nd rounder this way. I think GC will keep theirs, not Carlton though

 

[Dirty_banchez]

It would have been a disgrace had Carlton and GC received priority picks. Carlton traded their best mid last year and to reward that with a pick would have set a bad precedent.

It’s all over Twitter. Probably less reliable than BF.

Got tossed up as a trade hypothetical on Future Stars by Cal Twomey

Greg Denham from "The Australian" reporting Hogan will play for Freo next year. Cant get past the paywall.

But Hogan would have to agree to the deal, and with Freo star Lachie Neale apparently exploring an exit, are the Dockers an attractive enough proposition?

"We've got a couple of weeks to get our heads around what we want to do," said Neale about his potential move to the Brisbane Lions.

"We've got to consider eveything, it's a pretty big move across the other side of the country if that's what we decide.

"I've got nothing bad to say about Fremantle... it's a tough decision and we'll work through it."

Essendon legend Tim Watson has queried the idea that Jesse Hogan would want to leave the Demons and move to the Dockers.

"If you put together what we've just played (Lachie Neale's comments), and you play that to Jesse Hogan - if I'm Jesse Hogan, I'm thinking 'you're about to tell me, I'm going to go to your team and your second best midfielder is about to walk out... what sort of a group am I actually walking into?'"

Pretty sure Denham is doing 1+1=2 on this one. To be honest, the fact Melbourne are trying to get May and Preuss makes me believe they might be up to something

Assuming Neale stays, what would it take? 6 and next years first?. I'd wanna know what's going on with his foot though

Risky going down this path, its where hopes begin to unrealistically rise, i'd want there second back at least

Every year...... without fail.... clickbait.

I'm not fussed if he comes at all tbo. Freo won't let it go though. I just hope we don't lose Neale while we are jerking around with this again.

 

[serial_thrilla]

My bets on Hogan.....again.

Nailed it!

 

[Freoforever86]

Waiting for the disappointment again.

Want - Hogan.

Get - Aaron Black

Is that Salim Malik in the foreground?

More to the point, why does the beer not have a decent head?!!

As usual the weak stay weak and the strong get stronger. AFL players only choose teams in Premiership contention

Perhaps it is because we have 6 rucks on the list and West Coast have lost their number 2 and their number 1 has serious questions over his fitness.

Or money hungry players I guess are the exception baha

Either way makes me shudder the thought of Darling, Kennedy, and Lobb all down there at once

They'd get it working pretty damn well with the strength of their foot skills.
