They can be announced on the weekend but pretty sure the AFL wont be hanging around waiting for paper work to be lodged.

So let me get this straight, Clubs can trade and do everything they normally do during a normal trade week day but the AFL won't process them until Monday morning?
What kind of crap is this? Didn't the AFL know that trade week was on this weekend??? Couldn't they have gotten a few (if not all of them) to work those 3 hours over the weekend to allow trades to be lodged???
What a shit organization the AFL is, ****ing embarrassing really.

Not 100% but you would assume the AFL needs to ratify the trades during the weekend to allow for on-trading of any picks traded.
Otherwise clubs will have to wait until Monday to find out if their deal is "in the spirit of the rules" before subsequent deals can be struck.

I believe that is what TWR said.
good point...
Calm down kid... Who said the AFL wont process over weekend? I think the AFL is pretty used to working on weekends. Maybe that wont announce because the clubs will not want announced as players have weekend off.

No YOU calm down!!!!
Anyway,
In the middle of trade week? And while we are at it, since when do players have weekends off? Either they are playing matches for the AFL or playing matches for their local league affiliate or they are in rehab recovering from an injury, why would this change of all times now, In the middle of trade week.

Because ITS NOT THE FOOTY SEASON!!!!!!! Wow I really cant believe you asked that.
Some players are even still on leave.
From the CBA 2007 - 2011
6.1 Subject to paragraph 6.3, a Player shall be entitled to a minimum period of leave of absence, from all employment obligations with his AFL Club, of eight weeks (ie 56 days) commencing from the date of the last Match contested by his AFL Club or in the case where the last Match contested was held overseas, six weeks from the date of that Match (“the leave period”).
An additional one week period of leave shall be provided for the period
commencing 23 December and ceasing 1 January (inclusive) the following year.

That's all very good and ture but if you are a player looking for a trade to keep your career alive or want to get to your desired team and a team requests a medical during trade week do you really think they will say ''Sorry mate, I'm on holidays as per the CBA 2007 - 2011 Clause 6.1 Subject to paragraph 6.3''
No, they won't they will try to go to wherever they need to go to to have that medical ala Maric/Seaby this year.
So if the players/managers/teams are all working on the weekend trying to sort out trades, why couldn't the lazy AFL organise to have someone there to lodge the trades so as to enable the teams to better orchestrate trade week and allow future trades to occur. Because at the moment, even though teams are doing their business they can't know if the trade has been accepted or not, which could lead to trouble when Monday Morning comes if a team has promised a pick/play to a team assuming a trade will go through, then be vetoed by the boofheads at AFL house ala the 'mega trade'.
2 days isn't too much to ask considering the importance of trade week is it mate?

Last year trade week didn't run over into the weekend, it finished on the Friday. It is only happening this year to accommodate the GWS mini-draft.

How can trades be done over the weekend if Andy the Fat Controller and Inspector Gadget Anderson are at the Caulfield Cup in the sponsors tents?
I'm sure you don't actually believe that Demetriou & Anderson personally sign the trade documents. That is what the AFL have admin staff for.

I do believe they are control freaks who are paid too much for doing too little, so if the Controller or Gadget are not there then the AFL isn't.

So then what possible reason could there be to not allow trade forms to be lodged on the weekend then? Instead having to wait until Monday morning?
