Was there once a rule that prevented this in the first year of a new contract? 

There was - it was called the Caracella rule after Sheedy traded Blake Caracella less than 6 months after signing a new contract.  I don't think it exists any more.  Of course players have always had the right to refuse a trade, just like Ryan Ferguson (not Fitzgerald) did when we tried to trade him to the Hawks for Brad Sewell.  

I think the only players who can't be traded now are new draftees and rookies.  I think new draftees have to have been at a club for at least two years now (preventing the Nathan Buckley scenario where he left Brisbane after only one season).

    There wont be an A grader coming back the other way.

    Dockers see this as an opportunity to improve their list, not square it.

    They have to find a nice pick this year (top 10) and bundle it up with next years first rounder and some steak knives.

    That''s the best we can hope for.

    The point was that you called all West Aussies soft who didn’t want to leave their mums. I’m from WA, had no issues with leaving my parents, and warring isn’t soft. It wasn’t a comparison to war, you’ve missed the point. Happy to leave it there. 

    Well played Ethan.

    That's a ridiculous measurement. There's been plenty of players who have played well in Grand Finals that had average careers. Shane Ellen is the first that comes to mind. And playing well in 1 game doesn't make you a proven anything.

    We won't be asking for any players, aside from steak knives Meek. As Goodwindees said, we'll get draft picks, and potentially pursue a free agent with our cap space.

    I'm predicting we get a latter top 10 pick, another 1st rd (this year or next) and steak knives Meek. There may also be shuffling of picks.

     

     

    Lol, I'm pretty sure Freo aren't pursuing Jackson because of his current MVP status. He did something  bloody special in the GF - the big stage. He performed way above expectations for a second year player and that's what matters if you're entertaining finals footy.

    I'm sure I could come up with a list of gun players that didn't perform in grand finals contrary to Shane Ellen's cameo, but both are irrelevant.

    I think they will trade out Lobb and Logue who are both worth early 2nd round picks to move up to Bulldogs 1st pick or another clubs pick in that range, then trade 1st this year, 1st next year and Meek. 

    So 10, 15, F1st and Meek for Jackson and our late 2nd (right now pick 35). Would have Jackson as pick 1 in value Plus Lloyd Meek.

    The Media know as much about Luke’s next contract, as people here on ‘Land. 
    He is still a MFC Player at this point in time

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
