If ever there was a reason for a trade ban, this might be it....Comment
-
I don't think the Swans would trade Aliir without getting a ruckman from Port or a pick they can use to get a ruckman from another club. I know some here don't rate ruckmen but without being at least nullify the opposition ruckman it's hard to dominate in the middle.Comment

If the SEN report is right, that's very handy for Brad Crouch! Nearly an extra $1m (over 5 years).

I think it's pretty cheeky for Port to come for our contracted player and rule out both of their two understudy ruckman who might satisfy us. Of course, if those players were unwilling, it's academic. I would happily do a straight swap for Ladhams. I don't think Hayes is worth as much because he's completely unproven but I think he's worth getting. So, if we take a pick then we would want to have another deal lined up for that pick to get us a ruckman or some other important need.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

There will be a deserved outcry if Adelaide achieves number 2 pick for Crouch.Comment

List management does now appear to be a very testosterone fuelled, aggressive business.
Hinckley wouldn’t express an interest in Fantasia this week, until Fantasia has publicly expressed an interest in returning to SA. But I wonder if he’s the public face and behind the scenes clubs are trying to prise players out of their contracts all the time?
Allegedly the Bombers have made a ridiculous offer to Josh Dunkley to do just that. Having done something similar with Jye Caldwell.Comment

It's the usual suspects who ruin the whole thing.....Essendon and Carlton. Two of the worst in the business with no morals.Comment

And the two clubs with the greatest season slogan, Carlton circa 2010 "They know we're coming" then they proceeded to tumble down the ladder for another decade and Essendon's 2012 season "Whatever it takes" and because of bad house keeping losing the spreadsheet, we don't know exactly what they took!Comment

The report is that Adelaide will take some salary off Kilda by getting two St Kilda players so that St Kilda can offer Crouch big pay deal so that Adelaide will get pick 2.
That is as shoddy as it gets.
But if it’s given a green light by AFL which it would given how hopeless they are then we will be effectively pick 5.
We will then have to choose from Will Phillips, Tanner Bruhn or Denver.
Tanner is from Geelong side and the risk of losing him is too high. Maybe we would choose Will Phillips then.Comment

I know what you mean.
My thinking is that the Swans don’t have a lot of $ to splash around or any draft picks, unless we use pick 3 or raid 2021s draft.
So I am sure we are looking to pick up players as cheaply as possible. The later you play your hand the better ... that and the uncertainty over TPP and list sizes.
Surely we have to bring in a ruckman and a forward!Comment

AFL need to stop the blatant manipulation of FA and compo picks, many of the suggestions are plain and simple rorting of the system at the expense of other innocent (Swans) clubs.
One I saw was because Geelong don't want to give up picks for Cameron so, GWS don't match Cameron, receive pick 9 compo, trade that to Geelong for pick 11 & 13.
GWS lose Cameron but get 11 & 13 which is what Geelong is currently refusing to trade, Geelong get 9 & Cameron for 11 &13. All that at the expense of every other team because the AFL create an extra pick 9.
AFL should stop that by embargoing the compo pick. It should be GWS match, Geelong cough up 11 & 13 so they pay from their own pocket.
Time for the AFL to rein this stuff in and try to fix the whole Vic centric poo showLast edited by 707; 23 October 2020, 02:13 PM.Comment

In theory the AFL should block GWS trading picks 11 and 13 for 9 as an imbalanced one, as the points are way out of whack. Possibly also the deal to send the two Saints players to the Crows. The whole thing is horribly compromised, including the concept of "Restricted" free agency which no longer exists.Comment

Does anyone know what the rules are around tampering/Free Agency in the AFL? I know next to nothing about it and can't find a simple summary, to the relatively ignorant (me!) it seems like Free Agency has been adopted without a huge amount of governance over it (so we looked to other leagues for the easy bit, no the hard bit)?
Obviously a different universe (and players still recruit other players etc.), but this article has a good overview of the sort of things considered in the NBA- note the $500k fine to the Lakers for having someone reach out to the representatives of a contracted player (and that being viewed as a slap on the wrist).

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
