just wondering if certain things would hamper your want to get a player in trade week. a tribunral suspension for striking etc i wouldnt be too worried, as long as the player doesnt have a history of striking every year or more, because they'll prob spend more time on the sidelines (and you prob dont want them anyway).

an injury that will keep them out for a significant period. judd has a groin that could be 4 months away. what if a player had a broken leg? if it is an injury that will defs be overcome i say it doesnt matter, especially if it makes the deal cheaper for us.

what about tested positive OoC to illicit drugs? the penalty for that is up to 12 weeks (for the 3rd strike). would you not want a player with this sort of history? what if it was a young gun who would definitely be n onfield asset? is it enough to turn you off? could you write it into a contract that if he ever fails a drug test again he forfeits the remainder of his contract, or even the contract for that year too? perhaps you could make it serious, fail again and you forfeit your any payments from the contract but must remain contracted for the duration of the contract...ie you cant play but remain listed, or unable to play for another club...

    so my question stands. if he gets 12 weeks, would you be interested in picking him up?

    If it's the player I think it is then yes, I'd be very interested, all depends on the price though.

    id say no ,because im sure with that you arent allowed to be at the club for that long, so its a real risk

    good point, but im not sure if that applies in this case JC. because it is out of competition testing, not in comp, the charge is actually 'conduct unbecoming, or prejudicial to the intrests of the afl' and you front the tribunal. so the suspension isnt a wada-type banned from sport...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
