    Well he is in the picture they used.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

      Yep. Why should we have been penalised under this proposed change if it was there last year? Surely delisting free agency is fair to players who aren't wanted for trade. If pea hearts want to take the wooing of other clubs then they can pay, including us in opposite circumstances. This is not responsible guardianship of the game, and I'm getting tired of the constant attempts to change a game that survived for 150 years before these brilliant leaders took over.

        And now he's 'erratic'. Pre season he was the medias love child...

          I wonder if Mick has said anything nasty to him.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Also not sure why they brought up the example of Carlton downgrading draft picks to get Jaksch and Whiley. Whiley may have been eligible if they count his time as pre-listed but this year is Jakschs 4th so he wouldn't have been a free agent.
            I should leave it alone but you're not right

              i have been saying that for a long time now. In the last ten years we have seen the most changes and its getting worse.

                  Come on guys,

                  There just trying to make it easier for the Eddie McGuire's of this world to be able to poach.

                  There are struggling rich clubs out there that haven't won a Grand Final in 15 years.

                  They couldn't keep there members if they got out to 51 years.
                  Don't piss off old people
                  The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

                        Ah I love a good table. Nice
                        Pavlich, what's his story?

                        You would get Jamar pretty cheaply as a bull around packs for a year in our VFL. Number 6 in hit outs for AFL. If we can't get Martin, You have Minson and Jamar backing up our AFL side, Campbell and Roughead as our main Rucks.

                        Age is reporting Dangerfield to Cats.
