There is no way the AFL can say oh we only realised the problem today.
It is inconceivable that no-one at the AFL, at AFL clubs or football journalists noticed the illegality.
I called it out on the day and my posts in newspapers would have been read by thousands.
I would have not been the only person in the country to spot it anyhow.
There was a conspiracy not only at the AFL but among news journalist to cover up the illegality of the deal.

How fantastic would it be if the AFL rejects it on a technicality.
But I suspect it is a complicated trade including other clubs so that Hawthorn could gather those two second round picks from elsewhere.

Hawthorn receiving and keeping GWS 2017 2nd rounder via Carlton.
Gold Coast receiving a 2017 2nd rounder from Hawthorn. It can not be Hawthorn's 2nd rounder as that would be illegal. Hawthorn had already traded their 2017 1st rounder to St Kilda.
It can not be Carlton's 2017 2nd rounder because Carlton had already traded that to Geelong along with Zach Tuohy in return for Billie Smedts and Geelong's 2017 1st rounder.
The 2017 2nd rounder received by Gold Coast from Hawthorn has to be GWS 2017 2nd rounder via Carlton and via Hawthorn.
Oh and Hawthorn ends up with no-one else's 2017 2nd rounder other than their own.

I want to know what did the paper work show Hawthorn giving to Gold Coast.
If the paper work is wrong - deal cancelled.

It is now quite clear why the AFL took so long before publishing the O'Meara deal.
They knew it was illegal and they must reject it.
They then deliberately decided to let it slip through because Gold Coast would lose the draft picks gained for O'Meara and O'Meara would either have to re-sign with Gold Coast or end up at Essendon
The Corrupt AFL is now quietly admitting the the deal was illegal.
No mentioned of course on AFL .com.au
