Bluemour Melting Pot XXI - Like seriously, the polar ice caps have got nothing on us

[Robertio]

OK how does this work, if a player wont sign a contract, is he a delisted free agent or does he have to go into the draft?

 

[LanceRomance]

Hope it’s Bennell ...

u wot m8?

Has to go into the draft.

He's only a DFA if he isn't offered a contract and is cut by the club.

 

[Rustica]

Man if he can capture his gold coast form and get on the right track. Wowee.

Jusr his onfield form however

If they have a contract offer, have to go to the draft, or PSD

Has to go into the draft.

I thought - like Lyons last year - a player can choose to delist themselves and sign a DFA contract? Or does club have to sign off on it?

Would probably have to go to the draft, well at least based on this..

Players delisted by a club are unrestricted free agents but a player who retires or delists himself is not eligible to be a free agent.

Was hoping at least one of Martin or Papley wpuld get done today. Hopefully the delay is just to add to the drama tomorrow...

I'm not entirely sure what the official clarification from the AFL around Lyons was.

I do know that you only qualify to be taken as a DFA if you aren't offered a deal by your club. Otherwise, players would just refuse new contracts and walk for nothing to their new teams as DFA's.

 

[DEliades]

The lack of news on the Martin and Papley front is concerning. I suggest the latter is no doubt linked with the Daniher trade

 

[Jeremias]

I'd be very happy if it was Newnes

I agree. Think he could be a good addition, especially for nothing.

Christensen?

Yep.

You thinking Robertson ?

Nope.

Gold Coast cut him (at his request), he didn't delist himself.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Lyons was actually delisted, well..

In a statement released on its website, Gold Coast said Lyons and the club "mutually agreed to part ways".

[ShanDog]

Well the AFL said there would be no pre-season trade period in 2020

Ah maybe I misread that as PSD

 

[myblueroan]

hooray!!!
mystery player is back.
I mystery player.
isn't it grand mebbe eh?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Only a guess, but I think it's Sam Murray.

He was pretty disgruntled about being cut by Collingwood after being allowed to return by ASADA when they kept on the other drug takers.

He would qualify as a DFA.

Right age profile, brings run and carry off the HBF.

Like, I didn't understand behind this decision.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Christensen would be handy depth, and if he gets fit and into a good headspace he’d be a valuable addition to our 22.

Hope it’s him. Murray also a good shout.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

The AFL ask GWS if they want first crack at them, then offer GCS and if they pass them up then AFL advise the player about their options from there...

 

[kjr8]

Wouldn’t mind Sam Murray as DFA

[jonob1995]

We’re got interest in another player who is unhappy.. but not in trade period.

DFA option?

 

[Stamos]

Like, I didn't understand behind this decision.

Doesn't make sense that they didn't want to play him, but Brisbane offered a 3 year contract, so it was considered beneficial all round.

Any chance of having a late play at Ollie Wines? barrass70

Thank you so much for all the updates!!

Hopefully DFA means Drug Free Agent....
