2016 trading and drafting (merged thread)

[barry]

Sad to see a Grand final player leave the club for nothing, but it did look like X played like a player who wasn't passionate about AFL footy.

Maybe he'll find it at Essendon. Getting out of Sydney might be best for him.

I think that X possesses great athletic running ability but whether he has the drive to make it is questionable. I wonder how the Essendon deal will compare to that offered by the swans? I suspect theirs is inferior perhaps even only a one-year deal. Good luck to him.

Jarrod Garlett quitting the Suns will make clubs even more wary of drafting WA players.

What's going on over there? Perth is like a magnet that keeps pulling players back there. I'll have to check with my old mate Ben Cousins and see if he's got any insights into this phenomenon.

Even harder to understand if you've ever actually been to Perth

I've just checked, but Ben isn't in today.

One explanation; sooks.

In this particular instance, it sounds like there are some special circumstances driving the decision. He re-signed just a few months ago so sounds far more complex than just home sickness.

It's only a year since we also lost an indigenous player in Jetta to WA homesickness.

Yeah it sounds like there is something else going on in Garlett's case

It's funny that, apart from Gibbs and a few other examples, the "go home" factor for SA seems significantly less.

Like you're surprised!
The only good thing about SA (apart from visiting you) is the food, glorious food.

Not a wine drinker, then?
