Reasoned and mature response Biff. Have you been attending BBOs classes of late?

As with a number of others, I don't really feel for the Swans who have been abusinig the system for years (see Mr Heeney). I do however think that this is yet another idiotic, ill-conceived declaration from an institution which has a long and glorious history of making idiotic ill-conceived decisions which rarely achieve what they want and often create more problems than they solve. Once again they are showing the world just how ameteur an organisation the AFL really is.

If we want Mitchell and have been in talks with him, does that now mean that a trade is not allowed to happen with Sydney?

how I read this is that now they cant draft players , they can still trade them for HIGH draft picks and stock pile kids

so they might look at off loading some to get high picks this year and next to help reduce their salary cap

ready for the COLA to be gone

I don't like the swans and I think the coal should definitely go. But this is a ridiculous move by the AFL and should not be allowed.

Oh good, Voss has an opinion...

Where was he when we were penalised for not tanking, when there wasn't even a rule against "tanking"?

Things are grim when Andrew Bogut posts that this decision indicates that the AFL are a shambles.

AFL. World's best practice.

This will not effect the swans to the next 2 season.

they will use the delisted free agents who can fill a role ie Laidler & derricks.

that why they keep Goodes & Shaw for next season

Classic moneyball but with a Yankees budget .
