Has the AFL cost us another player?

I feel stupid saying this, but I don't believe the AFL will allow GWS to take a second player from a club through the PSD, unless the club agrees. When push comes to shove I am pretty sure the AFL will lean on GWS to go after a different club or take a delisted player. I know all the arguments about wanting GWS to succeed but the victim club would surely go to Court for an interpretation of the rules and the AFL would not want that.

Likewise redleg a player who was thwarted by the afl from taking a huge pay rise via the PSD could take the afl to court. Non?

    GW$ will target whoever they like whilst their salary cap is high. Get used to it. The job of the MFC is to create a culture where players do not want to leave.

    I really think we've done that. Tom Scully would have left wherever he was as long as he was getting more money. There was nothing we could have done to keep him, save for spending more money on him.

    Possibly.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
