    It all depends on whether you can box or not. My uncle taught me to box when I was a kid and up until a couple of years ago even though I am little I was pretty confident stepping up against anyone no matter their size because my feet would carry me out of reach long enough for me to plant one on their nose. I'm too slow these days though so I just keep my opinions to myself.

    Marcus Adams named on the extended bench for Brisbane this week.

    Also Kyle Dunkley for Melbourne (Ok, not an ex but feels like the one that got away and he did play for Footscray).

    I just hope Clay's got the skills because he's got too much courage for his own good.

    I wonder how they organize the clearances for players playing in various teams in the same competition?

    In local leagues you can get a clearance wherever (including within the same league) before 30 June provided you aren’t contracted or owe money or have club property.

    Also it’s the AFL so they can make up rules to suit as they go if necessary.

    Yep, I'd imagine it would be covered by the contract the players sign. Besides what junior club is going to stand in the way of a player going to an AFL club? Besides the awful look of destroying somebody's dream say goodbye to that club ever again signing a decent player who might be on the verge of playing AFL again.

    AfL do these grass footy ads but don’t compensate the grass root club they got the player from.
    Should be some sort of deal if a player is picked up in the mid season draft from a local club the club should get a monetary compensation of say $5000-10,000.

    This is a bit wishy washy but it's all I could find:

    How will state league clubs be compensated for losing a player?

    It's understood AFL clubs will be made to provide them with a reimbursement. That could include a payment of up to 50 percent of any sign-on bonus given to the player by their state league club.

    The League has also moved to offset state league clubs' concerns by introducing a number of conditions.

    A player drafted from a state league will not be asked to play against their original club unless all parties agreed. For example, should Williamstown defender Sam McLarty be selected by Carlton, he will not be allowed to represent the Blues' VFL-affiliated Northern Blues against Williamstown, unless the Seagulls approve.

    State league players also have the ability to return to their original club to participate in finals if their AFL club's season is over.



    It doesn't really answer our question though. It's almost like the AFL have used weasel words ("It's understood" "could include a payment") in order to confuse us and avoid answering the question!

    IIRC Jono Marsh had an issue with clearance when St Kilda signed him just before the season this year. I'm sure the AFL 'made the problem go away' in their usual manner.
