I believe if he refuses to play for the club that drafts him he has to sit out 2 years.

Skype anyone?

And he gets banned from playing for 2 years.

Yes, see this is where the draft falls down, once a player enters the draft it's supposed to be open slather for anyone to pick them up, no draft tampering, no refusing to play with certain clubs. But of course the AFL just turns a blind eye.

I suppose my question would be, why weren't we having those same discussions?

Thought he showed a fair bit considering he came to the club at the last minute without a proper preseason. He just inevitably ran out of steam in the latter part of the year. He's the one if we don't pick up anyone else.

We can certainly do with a skilful small forward but reckon it won't happen because that's just how we roll.

I think he just has to be out of contract.

Good enough for Geelong who already have Hawkins but not good enough for Melbourne.........hmmmmm

So why doesn't a club get him in for a thorough interview and ask the hard questions to see how he responds?

Very concerned about Weidemans development, or lack of, to the extent that I think that if he improves to the extent everyone was hoping for, it will be a bonus rather than a given. That said I can't see why we're not trying to bolster our key forward options. We will be heavily reliant on T.Mac.

I always think when this pops up , is it better to be a turd polisher or a turd spreader?

You've proven something alright.

Yes, and look I understand the knock on him but if he can kick 40+ goals for us he can sit in the goal square all day long. How many forwards kick 40+ goals. Of coarse the risk is will he perform to that level, but at the right price it's worth the gamble.

So we should be able to negotiate a reasonable $ amount and a reasonable draft pick.

Not only that, but they want him out.

Since he is contracted they have two options, pay part of his contract or all of it.

You've been pretty confident right through AF. Any reason?

Exactly Nev Jetta is highly regarded on here for good reason. Anyone on here who thinks Elliott is an ordinary player should go back and look at that game.

May be correct about the hammies. Certainly not underwhelming as a player.

Can someone explain what egonamic means please.

Long bow

For every Dustin Martin there's a Harley Bennell.

Hope GWS are going to review the game.

TBH he has his detractors, and may be the tallest small forward going around but I'd back him to kick more goals than Weideman every day of the week........and by a fair margin.
