You can improve set shot kicking, but kicking on the run is far harder and in many cases impossible, as players revert to what they are used to when running and under pressure of being tackled.
Saints have approached nearly every player in the AFL, about playing with them. Those missed have been sounded out by Carlton.
Saints apparently into Hill, Jones, Ryder, Butler and Howard, as named so far, while Blues into Papley, Martin, Butler and Betts.
A $3million smile.
PS. Tigers laughing at the compo pick they are going to get.
Lynch and then pick 20 approx for losing Ellis who they didn’t want to keep.
Gotta love equalisation AFL style.
Your suggestion makes sense and it will slow the movement of uncontracted stars from lower teams and also lead to a more even competition, while still allowing player movement.
You think Tomlinson, who had 17 possessions, including several marks, was worse than Finlayson with one possession, gained in the last few minutes of the game. You think May can’t play.
Enough said.
That is interesting, as he is listed as a delisted player on the AFL site under Collingwood. That means that players are not wanted but if someone shows interest, the club can ask for something.
If no one shows interest he can be taken for nothing. If I wanted a player in that category, I would tell them to say they are probably retiring and then get them for nothing.
This from the AFL site,
"It remains to be seen whether the opposition interest in the defender will result in Collingwood looking to broker a trade, or if Murray could find a third club as a delisted free agent."
How do the Pies broker a trade if he has already been delisted?
With Hawks pulling out, I am getting the feeling he may have told them, it's the Pies or us. They could be saving face, so if he goes they don't look like he rejected them.
He could be waiting for the B & F to be over and giving the Pies the chance to match our offer, or at least get close.
Anyway, I am just speculating.
