Mid Season Trade

The AFL seems to be pushing it  Mid Season Trade

Fox's view of Rules for eligibility:

  • - Must have played eight AFL games or fewer this season (ie less than half of all matches)
  • - Must not be listed as out for the season on the club’s latest injury list
  • - Must not have been first drafted within the last two years (2017 or 2018)
  • - Must not have been signed through the 2019 pre-season supplementary period or 2019 mid-season draft

Suspect Fox needed to change their criteria to include 'Not traded in, in the last 2 years' to ensure the likes of Preuss aren't eligible.

Fox's best guess at our eligible players:

  • Mitch Hannan
  • Declan Keilty
  • Jay Kennedy-Harris
  • Jordan Lewis
  • Braydon Preuss
  • Tim Smith
  • Billy Stretch
  • Corey Wagner

Hannan probably shouldn't be there as he has limited games due to injuries.  Lewis shouldn't be there either. 

Wouldn't begrudge the others wanting to be traded. 

It could have helped us cover some of our injuries this year so I'm ok with the idea of mid season trade

Edit: thanks @olisikfor the correction - yes it is trade not draft.  Have changed title etc

    Draft or trade period? Mid season draft is already a thing.

    Too many f'ing rules. Just remove all these proposed rules except the salary cap then allow apposing teams a window to a veto on a deal if it's too one sided (ala NBA rules).

    What do you ‘trade’?  Player for player?  Draft picks?  Mid year draft picks?

    sounds like more Nero- fiddle while Rome burns.

    would be interesting if players ‘nominated’ rather than became eligible- would show mercenaries and could disrupt team cultures.

    • 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.
