The players look to the US when it suits them.

Teams should be able to trade players at their own desire.

Players are forcing through their own movement with blackmail and PR leverage.

Teams should be able to send players anywhere in the league, as long the contract they signed is honoured.

Contracts need to be between the player and the AFL to allow this.

    Clearly the players want to control their own destiny. We can understand that.

    It just to a large degree, destroys what the draft and salary cap were set up to achieve.

    I suspect the day they achieve this goal will be the end for me.

    The English soccer scene will then be the norm.

    Here I was thinking that players are tradeable commodities whose main purpose was to serve the club that invested in them and better that club's list. They already have the power to be able to bail on a contract when they want to suit their needs- now they want to deny their employers rights to manage their own list for the betterment of their own ends. Just reeks of selfishness and entitlement.

    Give an inch, watch these entitled brats take a mile. Who's running the show here?

    "Players are not pieces of property to be traded or sold"

    AFLPA CEO Paul Marsh

    I found this humurous, what is this guy's perspective of the draft? Or is that their next mission?

    The AFL really needs to start taking the power back on behalf of the clubs and on behalf of this competition being somewhere close to even.

    I'll say it. Clubs should not be able to trade players without their consent.

    BUT this only applies if the AFLPA agrees to remove free agency and stops its players from forcing trades against the will of their club.

    Is tone the AFL stood up to the players. If they don't like it, many other players would love the honour of playing AFL, and I reckon 95% of people would be happy to watch the players that wasn't too be there.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
