AFL Free Agency Period open

The footy season’s over and for the first time in the modern history of AFL trade and draft rules, we Demon fans will almost be on the outside looking in. It remains true that clubs can’t simply stand still but the old David Parkin rule that you have to bring in five new players even to a premiership team longer applies with new players having to be spread over 18 teams and with restrictions on list numbers and financial constraints. At this stage, I would suggest that we shouldn’t be expecting too much from the next couple of months. It all starts today with the opening of the free agency window. We’re being told that these are today’s likely opening free agency gambits:- 

Richmond’s Mabior Chol to Gold Coast,
Adelaide’s Jake Kelly to Essendon and
Sydney’s George Hewett to Carlton.

    Two of the three early predictions materialised. The first was the move of Mabior Chol to Gold Coast. The Tigers receive a end of second round pick, currently 38.

    Weid was pretty good in 2020. I still am somewhat bullish.

    Good to have him vs T Mac competing for the same spot if nothing else.

    With pick 42 as compensation, someone doesnt rate him
