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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
