It's about time clubs took a stand against contracted players trying to strongarm their way out. In most leagues around the world, offering contracts to other teams' contracted players is called tampering, and you get fined and/or lose draft picks if caught doing it. In AFL it gets lauded and celebrated. Papley, Hill, Daniher, Kelly, Bruce etc all have signed contracts, and then changed their mind and expect to be traded. What's even worse is they expect to be able to demand where they will be traded to. It makes the AFL more of a laughing stock than it otherwise already is, and the sooner a few clubs stand up to this crap the better, for the good of the competition.

Completely agree.

In the NBA there have been a heap of fines lately for 'tampering' for seemlingly innocent comments made in the media about contracted players. I wouldnt expect it to get that far but clearly the AFL need to tighten up on this

And again we're back with Nik Kershaw "wouldn't it be good...."

On top of that i reckon players are seeing stupid money being offered, especially during recent trade periods where there is not a lot on offer, and trying to jump on board even when, as you have said, they have signed a contract in good faith.

Greed.

There’s too many self indulgent flogs around who have to be seen to be winning deals rather than getting shit done.

 

[New_Roo]

Particularly those that front end their contract with big money and then look to move on in the latter parts when they are in less.... exhibit A Mr B Hill...

YES! This is one I was also considering.

We do have a good record with getting players with historical injury issues right.

Just a reminder of what he could do off a flank.

Is that allowed, breaking contract toward the end after being paid most of it up Front?

Savvy operator trading at saints at the moment.

Who are they and should we hire them?

 

[Hatchy1992]

Lol Saints.

 

[Pykie]

Lol Saints.

?

Smart move for both of them. (GWS and STK)

Can't be held over a barrel by Freo for something they don't have.

Now have an additional first round pick for Howard, Jones etc.

 

[King Corey]

Lol Saints.

I reckon it's a good deal. I'd shift #8 for those 2 picks.

I'm of the thought they'd be using those picks and 2020 first just for Hill. Could well be wrong though.

I'd certainly laugh if Molly Meldrum was there for their new recruit's unveiling.......

Isn't old Gubby and that slimey looking operator Leathlan?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Should have traded him out for the little worth he still holds.

 

[King Corey]

Matt Balmer = The Em

 

[King Corey]

Matt Balmer = The Tiger

 

[Event Horizon]

Saints won't get all their deals done.

They have now swapped pick 6 for 12 and 18. Smart trading.

Gubby strikes again.

 

[King Corey]

Saints can utilise #12 and 2020 R1 for Hill and still hold a pick in the 1st round this year. Clever.
