Just incase you havent seen it, its up on the AFL website.

THE AFL has moved to allow rookies to be part of trade week to encourage more movement of players between clubs post-season

As part of the changes to the player rules, any rookie player who is included in a trade must be placed on the senior list of the club to which he is traded.

Spencer and Valenti may draw interest, but particularly Valenti.

Personally big fan of his, love how he goes about it hope he stays a demon and is elevated.

Also heres a link to the rules to take place in this years draft..... Let the trade talk begin

hmm...gunna make things even more interesting trade week wise. Hang on to your seats folks... This is going to right up there with the Lethal Weapon/Superman Ride !! we wont all come out unscathed !!!

When is the draft this year? Not really the correct thread, but i didnt want to start a new one.

Here are the key dates: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tab...25/default.aspx

Trade week: Monday 5 October - Friday 9 October (2pm deadline)

National Draft: Saturday 28 November

Pre-season and Rookie drafts: Tuesday, December 15

Here's what I was looking for:

Fri, Oct 2, 2pm – Father / son nominations lodged with AFL

Mon, Oct 5, 10am – Father / son bidding meeting (Docklands)

It seems the F/S selections have already been determined by the time trade week starts, therefore making it impossible to trade away your 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick so that when you come to matching a bid for a F/S selection, your 'next available' pick is borderline worthless.
