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.

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?

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
