Gives us a much better chance of moving on one or both of these compo picks in exchange for players like Gaff, Caddy, et al.

Teams like Essendon will be eventually exposed as time-wasters and moved on.

If we had 3 weeks last year we probably would have had time to land Caddy.

It will also be more painful.

    Andrew aka the AFL- just wants to be talking point of sport for 12 months of the year. If we are given to much of it then the public will get sick of it. #ToMuchofaGoodThing!

    Damm, now we can't call it trade week anymore. How about Blackjack Period or Pontoon time?

    Great. Now trade period will be 2 weeks and 4 days of no action, instead of 4 days of no action.

    Until teams are able to trade in-contract players with no restrictions, there will be no change in the pace of the AFL trade period.

    **Correct me if I'm wrong, but contracted players must agree to trades they are included in.

    October 1 - 18 Free Agency Signings

    October 9 - 26 Trade Period

    I think it is a good move, and by splitting up the weeks it will allow teams that lose FAs to trade in the last week, or The Only Relevant Week of The New Trade Period.

    The industry considers this arguably the best draft ever, so I'm not sure why some are keen to trade our compo picks, I'm certainly not. Especially as the kids/midfielders coming through these days aren't far off "ready made".

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
