Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2024, Part 2

[Hinkley29]

On that note, I cannot believe that Fremantle - a side with legitimate flag aspirations - is going for a player who has been delisted from two sides already and hasn't gone back through a state league first.

I would strongly suspect that he already had a deal lined up with freo but freo were not prepared to trade anything for him. As a non-critical player for them, port did him a favour by delisting him.

If he didn’t have a deal lined up with freo he probably stays on ports list on a lower contract.

Scott’s new job with the finance sponsor which was signed off by the AFL before accepting

Our COO has also just left the club to take a job at AFL House. Another Geelong plant at HQ, delicious.

Would he qualify as a DFA, having already been delisted from us?

Once a FA always are i think could be wrong.

As soon as he is delisted, yes

Yes, I was just trying to confirm that he was delisted from us. It was a rude shock to me that DFAs are always DFAs when Stengle's contract was running out...

They're technically only DFA in the year that they get delisted. That's the year they join in the DFA period. After that they're UFA and join during the free agency window
