Tennace cannot be traded

[richo68]

Tennace cannot be traded this year..as he was drafted last year
All NEW draftees to the system are given 2 year contracts....and cannot be traded in that time.
This law was introduced a few years back.
So the young players are protected, and the club is also procted having 2 years with these new young players.
ie Cooney,Tennace,Ray or any young player must serve their 2 year contract with the club that drafted them......
So Tennace to Collingwood..cant happen!

 

[jezza]

He can, if the afl agree to it.

 

[deck]

You can be traded after your first year of your contract. So yes he can be traded.

 

[Longy413]

L. Veale, M.Davis???

 

[fusion]

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the rule was that the player had a 2 year contract, but if club and player agreed he could be delisted/traded.

What would happen if a guy decided to give up AFL and walk away after 1 season. Does that mean that the club would be forced to go in to the following season 1 player short?

 

[year of the roo]

Barry Brooks was traded after only 1 year.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Rob Kerr was on SEN this afternoon to confirm that there's nothing to stop a trade involving any contracted player, including a kid in their first 2 year contract, so Tenace is as available as any other player with a contract, i.e. if the player and club agree to it.

Interestingly, Kerr added that the so-called "Heffernan rule" never actually came in, so a player just signed can also be traded if they and the club agree to it.

 

[Bueller]

Yep. I can confirm that.

 

[dougthelegend]

Very surprising

 

[jezza]

Yep. I can confirm that.

You were traded after one year???

 

[TAC-Cup]

The rule is that a player cannot be traded in the year that they signed a contract

 

[Bueller]

You were traded after one year???

I wish I was as funny as you.

No.
Plenty of players retire while still under contract, for example Mercuri this year retired while still having one year to run on his contract.
A retied player is not part of the teams list, and if taht situation occured, they can replace him with someone else.

 

[dilz]

You can get traded as a 2nd year player. The only rule regarding that is 17 year olds who get drafted have to have 2 year deals.

 

[Robin Hood]

The rule is that a player cannot be traded in the year that they signed a contract

There is no such rule.

 

[Pedro]

There is no such rule.

Correct. The draftees have to have a two year deal, but they can move clubs and take the contract with them if all parties agree.

 

[Russian]

The rules are:

10.3 When a first year draft choice Player is first listed by an AFL Club, that Player and the AFL Club shall enter into a playing contract for a minimum term of two years except in the case of a Player who has previously been listed as a Rookie at any AFL Club.

18.6 Save and except where in the opinion of the General Manager –
Football Operations, there are exceptional and compelling circumstances that make it harsh and unconscionable for a Player not to be exchanged, no AFL Club shall exchange any Player who has not completed at least one AFL Season under his current contract with the AFL Club.

Tenace has to agree to leave and he states at the B&F that he really wants to stay at Geelong, so go figure

 

[super4]

He can, if the afl agree to it.

Spot on, it can happen as long as the rest of the contract is seen out, eg L.Veale this year being delisted after being in the AFL for 2 years with two different clubs

 

[Bueller]

Tenace has to agree to leave and he states at the B&F that he really wants to stay at Geelong, so go figure

He's not going to stay if Geelong say - we are trading you.

 

[Jabso]

Tenace was a huge Collingwood supporter.
CRACK GEELONG CRACK!
*hopes Port does not accept Enright for 11*

 

[rUsTy_mAgPiE]

considering he's supported collingwood his whole life if geelong said we're trading you to the pies for pick 7 i doubt he'll be shedding to many tears, unless he gets a paper cut trying to sign the paperwork to quickly

Yes very true he must agree

That is untrue.....
There was no law introduced, the AFLPA & the AFL decided not to change the rule.
Tenace can be traded if the club wants to, or if he wants to.
There is nothing against it.
The only time he could not be traded is during his 1st season, so as his 1st season is over, he is up for grabs.
