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.
