WC to lose draft picks???
I read on Bigfooty that if Cousins goes for drugs that WC can lose draft picks as that was part of the AFL deal..
Does anyone know if there is any substance to this????

i disagree with them taking draft picks off
why should they be denied access to something they traded for involving a player that wanted to leave etc
premiership points might be something to look into
but not draft picks - that should be for instances like carlton's

absolutely
AFL considering their options tonight, very high likelihood that West Coast will be punished harshly for this- no matter what the outcome. They will lose draft picks.

pick 3 was Carltons pick traded to West Coast.
If that were the case, West Coast could simply trade away all its draft picks and the players received would be "untouchable".

Surely a club could only lose the draft picks it was allocated.
The penalty would make them trade players away to obtain earlier picks.
The punishment is still there.
WCE have traded Judd for picks 3 & 20. They would lose their allocated first round pick (whatever that is). A club should be able to trade for picks. The punishment is that they have lost players.

If Cousins ends up on a serious charge (and bearing in mind the AFL have outlined to West Coast what would happen in the event one of their players screws up again), losing players would be the least of their worries.Life Long Saint wrote:Surely a club could only lose the draft picks it was allocated.

Let's see if the AFL will actually walk the walk this time. Doesn't matter what they have traded away for imo - that's just bad luck.
Taking the things away that matters most to West Coast (draft picks and premiership points) is THE only way that team will be brought into line. Until then they will just let their players run amok.
You cannot trade away picks you will not receive though. I also think it will be allocated picks that they will lose not others they gain by trading players.Riewoldting wrote:But if the punishment is the loss of allocated draft picks, you would simply trade away any allocated draft picks in order to mitigate the punishment.

A Carpet call spokesman said West Coast and the company were an ideal match as both are pretty good at sweeping things under the rug hoping that no-one notices.......
