Proactive Poaching

Re: Proactive Poaching

I’m hearing through my network of completely unsubstantiated sources - that the majority of trades are all agreed to by clubs. The AFL is just delaying them for the theatre of closing trade week.

My no. 1 question if this is true - why the hell make it 10 days then?

It means a lot more clicks onto the site which is good for the AFL

By the way, I think you are correct

I don't believe that to be true as there are a lot of people involved and there is always one that would leak the information.

The Hill deal has been leaked already. It's complex.
The paperwork hasn't been lodged yet, proabably as per AshMac's post.

I can't recall the trades themselves nor the parties involved but wasn't there some public discussion last year about the AFEL orchestrating the announcement timing of certain "big" trades?

I'd be stunned if this wasn't the case. You don't put on a theatre show without controlling the cues.

Website hits and advertising + occupying media space

We're all big fans of the governing body here, so this view won't come as a real shock.

I *get* trying to manufacture content like this...but it's not only so transparent, but the leaking of the 3 PM start time (which of course it does, as it's different to the other days) screams we are incompetent twats.

Can they make a bigger hash of running anything?

Make it 4 days next year. Mon-Thurs one week

The really depressing thing is I hit refresh for 20 mins on the train home yesterday just letting those ads tick over...

Sam Power strong that the Bulldogs will secure Alex Keath and Josh Bruce in the next 200 minutes. But Adelaide “not real confident” Keath will get done and say he could return, while St Kilda adamant Bruce could stay.


Hmmmmm... who blinks?

Have they got future picks to offer?

Re: Proactive Poaching

Justin Reid saying a Keath deal is 'unlikely' a few minutes ago.
Not good news.

200 minutes. What time did you post it. I assume it was 3pm.

I’m getting quite nervous we could walk away after 10 days with donuts
