Boring trade week ahead

Post: # 1403627Post Zed »

This FA period goes on for too long. Looks like a few clubs have stalled discussions whilst waiting for the FA period to close and see what picks get allocated before making their next move.

The close of AFL restricted free agency offer and unrestricted free agency period should have been midday today - instead of Friday. Those players who had made their mind up to move under FA pretty well all knew once the FA period started and were quick out the blocks eg Buddy this year and Goddard last year.

Dragging on too long for my liking.

You need a hobby to distract you whilst this thing plays out, it's not meant to be entertaining, it's like watching grass grow


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

that's why it's so impressive that Saints traded early.

The earlier you trade the more you know before making the next trade (as opposed to have 5 hypotheticals on the table)

The afl only do this in an attempt to get footy coverage 50 weeks of the year. It could be done and dusted in a week I would've thought.
