I'm not talking about waiting for the mid season and draft. It's more if player X goes down in round 2 and is put on the LTIL then you can go and offer a temporary contract to a player not on an AFL list. Sort of a secondment. The lower levels may not like it but it would give some players a chance to get a shot at the big time. Maybe some financial arrangement goes back to the club that loses a player for a season. Rent a player

A pool of players for short term secondments? On the surface that is a good suggestion. There would need to be some rules because clubs will find way to abuse it but it's worth considering. Perhaps 4 week contracts could be offered.
Players would need a week or two at a club before getting a promotion to a senior game I suspect
Let me give it some more thought

4 week contracts are too short - a lot of players get injured for a month throughout a season. Is the current rule for LTI 10 weeks?

Then they may as well not reduce the list size

Not necessarily remember clubs have culled quite a few in this scenario and it could only be used for long term season ending stuff.
So if the lists are down to around 30 - 35 that's a fair wage reduction and how many players in a team get LTI one or two so there will still be financial saving.
This would also boost the second tier comp because there will be an excess of fringe and developing players.
Personally I would like to go the other way and increase the lists and run a full reserve comp because I think this is the best way to improve the senior teams but I can't see that happening.

However, they have 9 players over 30 and another 4 reaching 30 next year. Their strategy is now coming to hit them in the face due to recruiting established players.

Adam Saad may be looking for a new home. Any interest?

He's an attacking player but I wouldn't be that interested. Crozier, JJ and Williams can fill that role.
I shudder to think what Dodoro would want for him but could a player for player trade be brokered?

I think Suckling for Saad would be appropriate.
