Sheedy on Griffen

So if a VFL club gets a heap of injuries or lose too many to the AFL or both , can they pick players from the under 18s comp? Or do VFL clubs still have their own under18s?

What if a kid spits the dummy with his TAC coach and quits, then rocks up at Willi asking for a game?

I assume if he's good enough they'll play him, but does he need a clearance? (Do they even still exist? Do I have to explain what they were to the under 20's amoung us?)

Would be assessed on a case by case basis. A kid who was cut by Eastern Ranges last year, went to Willi because of a personal relationship and played 2's footy. AFL Vic saw him play and reallocated him to the Western Jets on that basis. If a kid spits the dummy with his TAC coach and walks out, I suspect he will play local u18's/seniors until he is no longer TAC eligible at which point he can go to the VFL.

I tell you, players have ZERO rights in the game today, ZERO. Unless they become an absolute superstar and happen to come out of contract in a season where the club they want to go too has finished stone motherless last...

Boo hoo.

That's bollocks. Hudson wanted to go to the Dogs, he went to the Dogs.
McMahon wanted to go to the Tigers, he went to the Tigers.

The only guy who didn't get traded to where he wanted was Bradley and he ended up there anyway.

What you really mean is whinging, prima donna footballers have ZERO rights to completely screw over their club, ZERO.

You'll be right, the AFLPA will bring in free agency soon and then every kid in Australia will have his favorite players number valcro'ed on because he'll be playing for someone else next year.

The problem is TD, that sentiment aside it is just a crap article. Where did Sheed's write that? Does he even care about his job these days?

I'm guessing he wrote it in regards to his dreamteam - Roo is doing one down here in The Advertiser where he has his team and comments on it each week.

Yeah I know but I just love reading stuff where people praise our players.

He wrote it in the HS for his dreamteam.

I wasn't actually worried about it going onto another topic just found it amusing that not 1 post actually related to it.

No.
No.

They have to go to the local leagues for players.
