With the AFL bring in the Free Agency Policy as discussed on SEN allowing 1 player from to go to GC17 from each club which MFC player would we give them and who would be the one player off limits? Thoughts?

    They can have Dunn, Bate, Sylvia or Bruce. I'm not fussed which one.

    I wouldnt cry if we lost one of Bruce, Dunn, Bate, Sylvia, Cheney, McNamara, Whelan, Buckley, Wheatley, Bartram

    It's not that I don't rate any of these players but I can't see any big holes left in our list without them and it wouldn't be the end of the world if we lost one of them.

    I think they want Morton who comes out of contract at the end of the season....

    Yeah, anyone from that list wouldn't do us much harm if they were to leave (though we'd best reserve judgement on McNamara until we see him play).

    Include Newton.

    McNamara... what I've seen of him live is impressive, I'd be more than happy if he's in our squad over the next 2 to 3 years.

    so would i, but we do have a lot of very good defenders so if someone had to go and it was him, i dont think that it could impede on us winning a premiership...

    of course, how did i forget to add newton to that list...

    Why doesnt the club jump on the front foot and start signing up all our important players??

    Do we get any compensation if they take one of our players, like one of their draft picks?

    Wouldn't be fussed to give away either dunn, bartram, bell, petard, Bruce or green wouldn't bother me.

    Miller should be in there he's only played 1 good game against the powerful Richmond and 5 mins against the wobbles and West Coast. He is a very ordinary player.

    Miller isnt the only one on the list to have a couple of bad games this season.

    Your names sake for example.

    I think you will find that if you took some time and watched Miller play, he deserves more than what your one liner suggests.

    I agree on Brad Miller, he's a queenslander and will be turning 28 in 2011 so I think both parties would be happy enough with the parting, especially if we pick up Butcher in the coming draft with Watts and Jurrah also developing.

    Expect to see Miller as the first FF and Vice-captain of the new Gold Coast team.

    As I understand the rule, I think that GC have the right to take any uncontracted player they like from our list without any compensation, but that's contingent on the player agreeing to go there. Hopefully none of our players leave under such circumstances, but if the player and the GC agree on a contract, then we don't have any say in it at all unfortunately.

    havnt we done this topic in a few other threads the past weeks?

    Cale Morton on GC hit list includes a link to the article which describes the compo recieved.

    Players safe from being poached by the Gold Coast players who are contracted, uncontracted and whoi we dop/don't want them to take.

    AFL secret draft gold Coasts swoop on uncontracted players

    edit: anyway, this thread isn't actually about free agency, its just about the GC17 uncontracted player grab. thats not free agency, thats stay, draft or GC.

    Cale Morton will be offered a huge bucket of money. it may be a matter of whether we can match it. Morton will have to summon up a Robbie Flower quantum of loyalty to stay in the red and blue.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
