fuchsia 37 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 good to hear that scully will refuse to go to freo or eagles.if picked up by them . he wants to stay in melb. although this is not 100% garanteed as it is known as a " well known potential draft pick" i would imagine that recruiters would sort that out at the time of interview. but rules are "if u nominate for draft u have to go where picked up... no choice. dont think either wa side top pick will be from outside their own state.
Lil_red_fire_engine 11,389 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 My understanding is that the kid can't do that! What is your source?
fuchsia 37 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 The kid cant do that is my understanding. What is your source? gerard healy and russell on 3aw.radio
Hannabal 4 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Even if he went as far as not nominating for the draft it won't help us.
Akum 2,660 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 good to hear that scully will refuse to go to freo or eagles.if picked up by them . he wants to stay in melb. although this is not 100% garanteed as it is known as a " well known potential draft pick" i would imagine that recruiters would sort that out at the time of interview. but rules are "if u nominate for draft u have to go where picked up... no choice. dont think either wa side top pick will be from outside their own state. Not rocket science I would have thought. Though it's more likely to be the sort of thing Butcher might say than Scully. They're not allowed to refuse a pick (unless they stand outside), but they can make it clear that they'll be headed back east at the earliest possible opportunity, so Scully would be a very risky pick for a WA side. But maybe it makes it even less likely that one of the Perth clubs would pick Scully if we lose No1 pick to them. The WA U18 carnival side was the best side in the comp by so far it wasn't funny, and 7 or 8 of them made the All-Aust team. The last sentence is the most sensible thing that's been posted about this. We've all seen how much the WA media deify their own (irrespective of how much damage it causes). They will absolutely crucify Freo or WC if they take anybody not from the WA carnival side in their first-round picks. Do we know what the WA views are about who should be No1 pick? Bet they're not as unanimous about Scully as we are.
Mousey 47 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I do believe it... Trent Cotchin did something similar to this a few years ago yeah? his parents said they did not want him drafted there with all the cousins fiasco aftermath.
jabberwocky 2,301 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I believe that he will be trying to make the interstate clubs think twice about taking him. Buckley did it, and so have a couple of others who I can't remember atm. Invariably the kid ends up at the new club "happy to get the opportunity to play in the AFL" etc etc. At the end of the day if he wants to play afl footy next year he will go wherever he is drafted. I find it interesting that this issue has been raised this week.
thevil1 421 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Can confirm this is getting around footy circles, dunno whether it's due to the Melbourne win yesterday, but it's not only Scully, but Butcher also is making noises about not going to WA.... Hopefully no1 else joins in else the AFL will b forced to act. I for one think this is a bad trend, next blokes from SA and WA may start taking similar stances (even thou Melbourne is the greatest place to live on earth)... My source is a player agent... He was adamant, take it how u will, he's never talked it up to me b4, and he's tryin to get more info as to what prompted these boys right now Post more if more comes my way
cooko 124 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 this thread makes me very very happy! yay.. we might still get scully!! hooha!!
45HG 1,559 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 This talk is rubbish. If we win 5, do you really think we'll finish 15th? We won't be bottom 2-3 with 5 wins, so we won't get him regardless. If we win 3 or 4, we will get him (and one other top 5 pick). Simple.

A bit ironic considering Cousins is now playing for the Tiges !
Courtney_Fish 183 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 but rules are "if u nominate for draft u have to go where picked up... no choice. Court won't award an order of specific performance for personal services.
Longsufferingnomore 1,691 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Court won't award an order of specific performance for personal services. Please explain
darkhorse72 1,947 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Players dont have to go, though its become less common. We actually drafted Darren Jarmen and he just never turned up and after our "contract" expired with him he re-nominated and went Hawthorn. And I remember the big mummy's boy Anthony Rocca not wanting to go to Sydney. His momma, saying he should stay his Melbourne with his family lol... I don't think he ever recovered from that I think he went up and played half a season over 2 years, after staying in Melbourne for the first year. But who would recruit and interstate kids who says he'll go home after his initial contract.
Guest Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Court won't award an order of specific performance for personal services. Please explain It basically means a court will not force you to perform the 'service' - in this case playing footy - for that employer, basically because it was considered to be too much like slavery. Instead the court will prevent you from doing the same service for another employer - that''s why footballers have on occasion waited out contracts
Redleg 42,187 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 It basically means a court will not force you to perform the 'service' - in this case playing footy - for that employer, basically because it was considered to be too much like slavery. Instead the court will prevent you from doing the same service for another employer - that''s why footballers have on occasion waited out contracts The AFL put in place a rule to cover this scenario as it led to draft tampering. For a boy to be drafted he has to agree to go to whoever drafts him. What he doesn't have to do is stay there. The minimum contract for drafted players is two years I believe and if then unhappy he could ask to be traded or go into the PSD and take his chances. The interview process should shed some light on a boys intentions or desires.
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 In cases like this all the AFL have to do is say if we think you will not nominate or wont go to WA, SA etc then we will not register you with the AFL and you can kiss your career goodbye, have a nice life. What a load of crap. I would have gone anywhere to play AFL, hell with the problems I had with my body I would of been happy to be able to play past 22 yrs old, but I couldn't and things like this [censored] me off.
drdrake 3,203 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Maybe Gerard Healy got a phone call from a past team mate or brother asking him to put this out there as his club may not finish last and they want this kid. Hopefully the next rumour will be he has got stress fractures and will be out for two years. Go 3aw keep putting this stuff out there just in case we win more games.
the_russian 17 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 didn't Tim Watson do this as well? when he flagged his intentions for a return to football, WC drafted him, he refused to go there so he retired again, or something along those lines
John Dee 445 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 We actually drafted Darren Jarmen and he just never turned up and after our "contract" expired with him he re-nominated and went Hawthorn. That was under vastly different rules. These days you commit to going to the club that drafts you when you nominate.
Guest JACKtheRIPPER Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 My understanding is that the kid can't do that! What is your source? nik nat did it last season, we will finish 15th, freo will take the WA boy, the demons will take the VIC boy aka tom scully
Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 I do believe it... Trent Cotchin did something similar to this a few years ago yeah? his parents said they did not want him drafted there with all the cousins fiasco aftermath. This isn't entirely true. The Eagles policy is that they sign all first round picks to an initial 3 year deal. When Trent and his family met with Woodhouse prior to the draft they informed him that they would only sign a 2 year deal. Sorry to shatter the dreams of some people on here - but entering the AFL Draft is a binding contract. You enter on the proviso that you go where you are selected period. Should you refuse - the AFL has a proviso in place (Clause 3.4(e) of the draft entry form) that they can annull your registration on the grounds of failing to fulfill your obligations.
Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 nik nat did it last season, we will finish 15th, freo will take the WA boy, the demons will take the VIC boy aka tom scully No he didn't. Prospective draftees can only nominate a choice - and express a desire to play for so and so (ie. Des Headland when he wore the Freo gurnsey to his interview with Lions during Draft Camp' 98) But at the end of the day - you must play for who selects you.
