When they can be traded after one year simply because they don't like the club they're with.

Really good point. Cant get too excited about possibly trading pick 1 for 4,6,and 7 as per the other thread either. Free agency plus contracts meaning basically nothing now means players are going to be moving all over the place in the future. This draft is really a watershed. The era of wanting to be a one club player has just passed us, and the culture of the game changed forever. My passion aint what it used to be.

Obviously GWS wanted Griffen more than they wanted Boyd, maybe GWS had nicknamed Boyd, Rhys, and the Bulldogs got wind of it and gave him a bone...


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

well the last player to jump like that was Buckley who left the bris to play finals and win flags at Collingwood ... Bris then went on to win 3 flags (2 against Buckleys Magpies) ..... history could very well be repeating

Maybe the Wogans knew Boyd wanted out, would walk for nuthin' in the 2015 PSD, so they played the Poodles for a bone...? :idea:



And if they don't include Cameron in any (supposedly) mega drafts pick deal with us... we'll be taking the 'Cameron bone'' in the 2015 PSD. :twisted:
