For all the people who doubted,did any one else hear Thomson talk about his groin problems?

Trade week should take place at round 11 when clubs can look at their weaknesses over the forst half of the season and see where they can improve. This pre-season trade is bogus with all clubs trying to get a bargin rather than fair deal trading.

They do that over here in the Premier League. The 'Summer' transfer period is open from May to the start of September after the season has begun) and then there's another period that lasts for the month of Jan in the middle of the season. And just because players can be traded for half the year doesn't mean anyone gets fair value (unless a Russian or Arab billionaire are shelling out stupid money) it just means the trades drag on and on and on and nobody knows WTF is going on, until there's a mad scramble in the last 3 hours of the final day of the transfer window.

It SUCKS THE FAT ONE and if the AFL did it, they'd just be further selling the soul of the great game to the power of the $$$$$$$$ and all the dirty agents that go with it.

Seriously, be thankful for a week long trade period. That's long and bad enough.

Yeah that is true, cant argue there


I don't see any purpose in restricting the trade period to just two days.

Just because fans are impatient for something to transpire there's no need to condense it all into 48-hour mad scramble. That might be entertaining for fans and the media but it doesn't help the clubs much.
They need time to carefully consider things and weigh up all their options before doing a deal rather than engaging in a race against the clock.

The un-footy educated dont understand how much actually goes into making a trade. It takes time to look at the salary cap, player list, player requirements re: shange in location etc etc

If it reduces to 2 days trades will not be done

I would like to see clubs,and they may well do this behind closed doors,but I would like to see the Monday morning of trade week used as follows.The headings of the lists are open to debate.

All clubs submit 3 lists and all clubs receive the lists submitted by the other clubs.

Untouchables- This list is of players,as suggested,are untouchable and do not bother even enquiring about them.I would think this list would have a maximum of 25-28 players.Remember there are 38 + rookies on each list.

The Price is right - If the price is right,you may well be able to get these guys from us.This list ( we could call it the Hamish McIntosh ) would have a limit of 6-8 players on it.

You want him? - This list is for the blokes nobody wants ( perhaps the Nathan Lonie ). This too will have 6 or so players on it.

I think this would cut down trade week to two or three days,no clubs would be under any misunderstanding as to whom they can poach and we all move on.

Collingwood did alright in getting Anthony Corrie for pick 93.

Corrie's quite a speedy midfielder/forward albeit a little inconsistent. Still it's a very good value trade for the Pies.

Matt Rendell summed it up when he said on radio that you have to speak to the agent, speak to the player, fly the player over (if interestate), get a medical then do a deal. Two days is too short.

Fair enough. But if a government spent a whole week and resources for this amount of outcomes, everyone would be bagging them.

With half a hour to go to the end will we see flurry of activity in the next 32 minutes??

Warnock and O'Keffe are the big ones who haven't gone just yet.

Warnock a big one. That is laughable. And how is St Kilda's form? Picking up yet another girl to add to a side that has Dal Santo, the Clarkes and Fiora. Surely they needed someone who can catch and kill their own.

Carlton have offered pick 24 only for Warnock and Freo aren't budging. IMO he'll go in the PSD. O'Keffe might do the same !!
