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

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...

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
