Its more he is saying we 'should' get that not what the AFL will give us.Damo saying we will get end of second round pick I swear if the afl fu** us over after giving a first for fatlop it’s a joke
We changed our bnf voting system specifically for this ie rated v to role being asked to play.Is it really.Ask yourself how many players actually have a chance.
Ellis a mid came 12th in what was a midfielders poll all B/F'S ARE HEAVILY SLANTED TOWARDS THE MIDS.
Ellis played 23 games only 15 players played 19 or more games so he effectively finished 12th out of 15.Impressive i dont think so.
We should have kept Grigg and elevate Fly
Already signed Pickett mid yearSo apprantly we are into a gun mature age mid from wa
Grigg won't be coming back for a while as he bought a house down at Geelol.
I would prefer if he went to the Saints or something as he looks like a bit of a dickhead in Geelol colours.
Fyfe will look good in number 7So apprantly we are into a gun mature age mid from wa
In Rance and Stack
Out Ellis and one of Baker or Short
Tigers Maximum Damage right there.
Stack and Picket add foot speed and skill and hardness.
Fyfe will look good in number 7
Why so over-the-top? Has the league lost the plot? LolAFL considering bringing in a radical pre-season trade period to stimulate player movement
Players face being traded on the eve of the 2020 season under a radical plan which could be approved on Monday by the AFL before this year’s trade period starts.
Players could complete an entire pre-season at one club only to be traded to a rival on the eve of Round 1 next season.
In what would be a radical change to the player movement landscape, the AFL is seriously considering bringing in a second trade period that would take place between the JLT Community Series and the traditional Richmond-Carlton season-opener.
The Herald Sun can reveal that AFL heavyweights will meet all 18 clubs on Monday to indicate whether the mooted exchange period will be ticked off for 2020.
That meeting will take place directly before this year’s trade period starts at 9am.
How pre-season trades will work
- The trade period will run from after the JLT Series until Round 1 starts.
- Clubs will be able to trade players, draft picks and future draft picks as per the current trade rules.
- Category B rookies and first-and-second-year draftees will be exempt from trades.
- Any contracts taken on by clubs will have to come under the Total Player Payments for that season.
- Club bosses prefer a pre-season trade period to mid-season trading.
- The mid-season draft and supplemental selection period will remain.
Clubs expect that they would be empowered to trade players, draft picks and future draft picks under the most likely model.
But first and second-year draftees, as well as Category B rookies, would be off-limits.
Clubs recruiting players would be required to fit their contracts under the salary cap.
In the most extreme example, a player could theoretically relocate from Victoria to Western Australia just days before the home-and-away season.
Or, a player could line up for one club in the final pre-season match, and then swap jumpers to play against his old team in Round 1 just two weeks later.
The concept was raised by the AFL at a recent club chief executive conference.
AFL football boss Steven Hocking arrives at Marvel Stadium during last year’s trade period.
The league presented two options — a mid-season trade period and a pre-season trade period — and club bosses emphatically voted for the March version.
Feedback given to the AFL was that a pre-season trade period was “more palatable”, particularly because of the strain a mid-season trade period would put on staff and resources.
Another concern with the mid-season timeslot was intellectual property swapping hands just 12 weeks before the finals begin.
This year 11 clubs entered Round 1 with multiple players injured for the first half of the season.
List managers expect fringe ruckmen and key-position players would dominate pre-season trade discussions.
But Hawthorn could’ve used a pre-season trade period to replace Brownlow Medallist Tom Mitchell, who missed 2019 after breaking his leg in January.
A pre-season trade period would run in conjunction with the mid-season draft, which is certain to remain given this year’s success.
Richmond drafted premiership player and Grand Final debutant Marlion Pickett in May, while fellow mid-season draftees John Noble (Collingwood) and Will Snelling (Essendon) also played in September.
Hawthorn could have compensated for the loss of Brownlow medallist Tom Mitchell under the new system. Picture: Michael Dodge/Getty Images.
The supplemental selection period (SSP) will also remain, which enabled Sydney Stack (Richmond), Michael Gibbons (Carlton) and Shane Mumford (GWS) join after the national and rookie drafts during the pre-season.
AFL football boss Steve Hocking has long campaigned for an extra trade period to further stimulate player movement, although Hocking’s preference was for a mid-season window.
“We think (a second trade period) is realistic and I say that confidently because the discussions have been had with senior coaches and heads of footy,” Hocking said earlier this year.
“We think it makes the season tighter because you’ve got the opportunity to potentially plug in a player or two to keep you competitive.”
Shit that was meant to be ButlerBaker leaving??? Blasphemy!!!
The Murray talk includes several other clubs.Why are we going for Sam Murray and Zac Jones?
They aren’t exactly the type of players I’d have expected us to go for
My error. Butler.Baker ?

Hocking trying to give all the time in the world for the Eagles to find a second 1st round pick to send to his Cats for Kelly.Why so over-the-top? Has the league lost the plot? Lol
I agree...but the doggies are a strange breed they keep all their champion players close...Grant is a head honcho summit, is one i can think of straight away, PWelsh is a committee member...their is more but I canna think of the others...Morris...Silly move
That's predictable!If we keep winning flags the sport will be unrecognisable after a few years as the afl nuffies get desperate and just pull random s**t out their arses
Pros and Cons, swings and roundabouts...Hocking trying to give all the time in the world for the Eagles to find a second 1st round pick to send to his Cats for Kelly.
But seriously, the Tom Mitchell point is so mute. It gave opportunity to Worpel playing more midfield minutes. Adversity creates opportunity. We’re such a stronger back 6 now after Rance’s injury. Clubs would be foolish to trade in a player to fill a temporary gap at the expense of youth. Could only see this working if a ruckman goes down.
Bubbleheaded boobyZac real name Zachary Jones
Needs to change his last name to Smith
Oh the pain the pain you bumbling booby
