Not to go all Kane Cornes but contracts really are getting out of hand. 5 or 6 year deals for b22 players seem to be the minimum now.

Kinda the Gold Coast tax unfortunately: Every club and most of the AFL community basically regards your entire existence as a joke and even harmful for the competition so swarm on any and all players as a glorified feeder club. They HAVE to pay gargantuan overs just to keep their talented core.

This is more to do with having a franchise player than a superstar, the Nic Nat type of effect.

...and then about 2 seasons into it they'll request a trade
If we are signing contracts that long players need to be allowed to be traded to a club without consent in my opinion.

If you want to push for that, given the expense of moving to a new town, you would start it allowing a club to trade a player within the same city without consent - which will advantage the Melbourne clubs and mean it can come in.
I've also heard of players being paid above the average being available to be traded without consent, with those under it being free agents when out of contract.

Could you build in a "relocation" payment from the departing club?

He's done it all the way through.
Due for a contract: "GC are interested" not sacked and new extension announced
Due for a contract: "Essendon are keen" not sacked and new extension announced
Port fans must be loving this. :/

There is no way anyone is ever going to agree to trade without consent while wages are so comparatively low. The minimum wage in the NFL / NBA is $1.2 million / $1.6 million AU respectively. For that sort of money you can't complain you don't have support: You can buy it! Plus in a lot of American cities 1 US million buys a 6 bedroom 4 bathroom mini mansion in an up market area. Here it gets you a 4 by 2 in Wembley.

State nomination at a minimum for in contract players. Agree the wages of some players makes it difficult to have a blanket non-consent rule but there should be no nominating a club. Want to go to South Australia, that's fine but Crows or Port are the options for the departing club.
