would you pick up a player in trade week if...

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...

haha well.., i know the players who are on drugs at xxxx, and the new rumour going around about the player who we all know, who has tested positive meaning his 3rd strike is now complete

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

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

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

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...

No i wouldn't take him..even if it was Judd

I wouldn't take any player on drugs
