Gold Coast Stealing Players

[Guest sticksmorton]

I've got two questions that I'd like someone to answer for me.

The first being pretty simple. Has the 2010 AFL fixture been realsed? If so where can I find it? If not, when will it be published!

Secondly, a question regarding the new Gold Coast team. Me and a friend were having an argument over there recruiting abilities, what does "having access to one uncontracted player", actually mean he seems to think that its means they have the ability to sign a player even against there own will if they are uncontracted at the end of 2010 and they have to go to the Gold Coast, I didnt believe him.

Can someone please clarify. Cheers Sticks

Has not been released. Read due date but can't recall.

Ed: Believe your friend is essentially correct

I'm close to 100% sure the fixture is to be released on Friday 30th October (i.e. in 2 weeks).

But any players that want to stay and the club doesn't want to lose, just sign an extension before the season and their contract finishes, making the problem go away. Simple really.

Those that you'd welcome being taken from the list you have coming out of contract. Hopefully they get taken off your hands... Newton, Bell, PJ...

They can't be signed against the players will.... Essential if a player is out of contract and agrees to move to the gold coast then they don't have to trade with a club they can just sign them and the AFL decided what they are worth

Thats why the GC were given so many 1st round picks.
