    Free Agency

    Free Agency is here, the AFL released today who is eligible from each club and an explanation of how it all works.

    FREE AGENTS REVEALED

    GEELONG star Steve Johnson and Hawthorn premiership heroes Luke Hodge and Sam Mitchell head the list of 62 unrestricted free agents announced by the AFL on Friday.

    Cats veterans Matthew Scarlett, Paul Chapman and Corey Enright are also on the unrestricted list, as are Brisbane Lions champions Jonathan Brown and Simon Black, West Coast skipper Darren Glass and St Kilda's Leigh Montagna.

    They are all free to leave their clubs at the end of this season if they choose, without being traded or entering the NAB AFL Draft.

    And some of the game's biggest names also feature among 19 restricted free agents, including Collingwood's Travis Cloke, Saint Brendon Goddard and Richmond's Brett Deledio.

    Restricted free agents can field offers from other clubs, but their club has the opportunity to keep them by matching the rival offer.

              Free agency is going to turn us into a feeder club.

                  To a degree, still believe the salary cap will offer the clubs some protection.

                      It may actually lead to further transparency. If a restricted agent goes to a club because they outbid the current club then it is publicly (within the AFL circle) known how much that player is getting. It may stop the situation where a player is offered officially less than they're getting at their current club with a secret kicker outside of footy.

                          You have high hopes. Watch the afl allow more Judd style 3rd party agreements.

                                  Obviously its all up in the air. Not sure we can rely on the AFL to be effective in monitoring 3rd party payments.

                                  A clubs culture is going to be paramount in maintaining players. Doubt you'll see Mitchell or Hodge moving on for example.

                                          What do you think his position will be?

                                          Obviously as a financial lesser, free agency probably reduces the ability for us to remain competetive. The AFL needs to be strong on the salary cap and enforcing penalties for those who disregard it. Which is probably unlikely.
                                          Good for top level players though and those who feel they could get more game time elsewhere.

                                              I still say restricted free agency is good. If the original club wants to keep the player - match the offer. If they match, then the player MUST stay. The full offer must be visible to both clubs for the system to work.

                                              Not sure how a 3rd party agreement can be used as inducement in such circumstances????

                                                          But it won't stay restricted for very long IMO.
