I thought jokes were meant to be funny. I don't see the humour in hoping someone else gets hurt, and I'm sure we'd all be offended if someone wished it on one of our boys.

I'm stumped. I must have missed something.
I'd like to know which rule enables Mumford to arrange a move to GWS without it being trade week, without him having been delisted, and without him being a FA.
Anyone got something for me?
And please, the AFL's rule of "We'll allow anything to ensure success in Sydney" isn't an actual rule, despite how obvious it has become in reality.

they did it with davis mid season '11
Yep.
The AFL is well and truly amateur hour. Certain rules for some that don't apply to others. Stating a rule saying "it's against the rules to poach players before trade and free agency period" then completely dismiss this rule for GWS & Sydney is a load of ****ing garbage.
Pick 1 in the PSD. They offer a miserable trade deal knowing if Swans don't agree they are guaranteed to get him for nix. Nothing can stop GWS from getting him except Mummy accepting an offer elsewhere, so if they have a deal with him its a lock.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
GWS have pick 1 for the Preseason draft.
Mummy can nominate for the PSD and GWS have him guaranteed. Not amateur hour or the AFLs fault...

You either get people overrating players value or heavily underselling them. I think they are good steak knives at best.
I think Mumford can move straight across to GWS without any roadblocks due to their number 1 pick in the PSD. They essentially don't need to trade for him and why would they after the Swans snatched Buddy from them. It's unusual because Mumford is still on Sydney's list right now. They technically could have waited until next month but why let the Swans get all the attention?
Read on the Essendon board a deal that involved Crameri + steak knives for Bulldogs pick 4

Oh.... dear..... god...
Worse than Yarran for a pick in the mid 20s.

Essendon board recon we're in a worse position list wise than them.... I'd have them with the worse list in the league considering they can't field 4 players.
heck - is he THAT good a prospect??
Betts to Sydney.

yeah I know... but if they are getting Mummy, they dont need Hampson or Knockers... therefore the only players that we have of potential value to them would be Laidler and Duigan... who would not only provide mature experienced bodies, but leadership qualities as well.
But something tells me that if we dont find Laidler a new home, we might just be re-signing him on a 1 year contract and playing him more next year to increase his trade value.
If Betts leaves and Thomas comes to Carlton we lose our compensation pick. It's a win/loss scenario.
In the case that Betts is firm on leaving Victoria and wants to move to Adelaide for personal reasons, wouldn't Carlton want to match Adelaide's offer. This is not to retain Betts but rather get at least something for him. Adelaide would be forced to cough up a player like McKay or McKernan or a draft pick to acquire Betts. In effect we could at least get some value from Betts and get Thomas for nothing.

If we match their offer then Betts will just sign up and refuse to be traded.

Off season is only 4 days old and stick a fork in me I'm almost cooked.
I'm still very angry that Yarran didn'y break Usain Bolt's record in the Grand Final sprint. He just doesn't care.
I want Rogers sacked for not asking for Pick 1 from GWS for Hampson. They might have said yes.
Its kind of funny compared to last year where we waited for the entire trading period and nothing happened due to the issues with Judd's deal.
