A month after ruling out a move to Victoria at the end of this season, Dylan Shiel has apparently told the GWS he's going to leave as a FA end of next season and if they want to arrange a trade now, feel free. Free Agency certainly has proved a real boon for the interstate clubs.

GWS better get on the horn to Norf to get them to declare their interest in him, that'll get him to re-sign with the giants

I always liked Alex, he didn't get too many opportunities at Freo with Michael Johnson and Luke McPharlin in the side, but when he did get a run he always got the most out of himself. The game I best remember him for was also against Buddy in the elimination final in 2014 when Freo were missing Johnson and McPharlin among others. He worked his arse off all day keeping Buddy to one goal in the fist three quarters, and tackling like crazy keeping the pressure on.

The video of Goddard speaking to his teammates was sad  http://www.essendonfc.com.au/video/2018-08-21/btv-bj-farewells-playing-group He is a bit of a douche but you can see from this that it comes down to his passion for playing footy.

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/struggling-afl-clubs-may-get-access-to-players-from-state-leagues-20180822-p4zz47.htmlquote:First access to mature-aged recruits from state leagues, or a conditional priority pick that must be traded, are scenarios being discussed at AFL House to help Gold Coast, Carlton and potentially even St Kilda. I don't mind the idea to give bottom clubs priority access to state league players, but I'm not sure it's a real solution. It relies on their being state league players that can play AFL and just because we've had a few in the last couple of year, it doesn't mean it'll keep happening. Forcing a club to trade a priority pick is stupid because it instantly creates a sellers market and would for them to trade even if there wasn't any good options to trade for. All that'd do is benefit the clubs above the ones getting a PP.

Periphery posted:https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/struggling-afl-clubs-may-get-access-to-players-from-state-leagues-20180822-p4zz47.html I don't mind the idea of a 'State League Draft' for the bottom 2 or 4 sides each year before the AFL draft. There's always a bunch of decent state league players drafted who do well. Of course it relies on the club being able to identify talent effectively and having 20 first round picks on your list and still being hot garbage suggests maybe that area is lacking. The other thing that would really help would be to restrict top 8 sides from accessing free agents and prevent top 4 sides from getting them altogether. If the Saints get a priority pick it will be a loving joke, they played in two grand finals less than a decade ago. At some point the people administering the club need to take responsibility and get the right people working in the key roles of recruiting and player development, and not just ask for more teenagers to throw in the fire.

gay picnic defence posted:If the Saints get a priority pick it will be a loving joke This is the AFL, so  Saying that clubs just need to 'get the right people working in the key roles of recruiting and player development' instead of getting more talent into the club is a poor argument imo. It completely places the blame on clubs while minimising the impact that the varying levels of resources available to clubs has, while also ignoring the fact that more access to talent = more likelihood of getting players that will improve a club. Given that all clubs are constantly looking for ways to improve their recruiting and development systems, the amount of money clubs have available to spend is ultimately going to be a key factor in their success. That's why the draft (and overall access to players) is so important in equalising the competition. Personally, I wouldn't have priority picks or wait till a team is X years out of finals before giving them. I think there should be a mini-round between the first and second rounds that only gives picks to the bottom 3-6 clubs (with a number between randomly selected between 3-6 to minimise tanking incentive). Those picks in the 19-25 range are some of the best value picks in the draft, but don't compromise the other teams picks as much as going earlier. That way the draft becomes even more of an equalising tool which should help counteract the impact of FA and the "big club" trade effect.

A NORTHERN suburbs football club has been dumped from the Adelaide Footy League and its captain banned for life after he was found guilty of four offences from one game at the tribunal. Salisbury West player Adam Jones was suspended on Wednesday night for a total of 27 weeks, taking his career tally to 34 games — taking him over the league’s 12-game threshold. It is one of the largest suspensions ever handed down for a single player. Jones was found guilty of striking, kicking and undue rough play from four incidents caught on camera last Saturday against Trinity Old Scholars. The guilty verdict breached a good behaviour agreement Salisbury West had with the league, meaning the club was immediately turfed for the remainder of the season. “Salisbury West entered season 2018 fully cognisant of the consequences for a breach of their agreement let alone a series of breaches to this magnitude from one match,” league chief executive John Kernahan said. “The league has never baulked from its responsibility of removing those who present a risk to other members whether they be an individual, team or club and we are not about to start now. “We’re quite happy having less players and even a club or two if it means the ones we do have are playing footy for the reasons we promote.” It was the latest in a series of violent on-field incidents involving the club dating back to 2005. Salisbury West will play no further part in the division six finals series. It is the second club to be removed from the league this season, following fellow northern suburbs club Salisbury North. Jones received three suspensions for striking, one for 10 weeks (by knee), a second for six weeks (by knee) and a third for an elbow. He also received three games for attempting to trip, while a stomping charge was dismissed. The league deregisters players if they exceed its 12-match threshold. One of the hits shattered the jaw of Trinity player Carl Teusner, who underwent surgery on Wednesday morning. Teusner also made a statement to police about the incident on Tuesday. The league has reshaped the division six finals series following Salisbury West’s removal. Rosewater, which was scheduled to play the Tigers in a semi-final this Saturday, will now progress directly through to the grand final to be played on September 1. Trinity’s semi-final against Fitzroy this weekend will now become a preliminary final with the winner facing the Dogs in the decider. Salisbury West’s B grade has also been removed from the division six reserves finals. Last Saturday’s match was the latest in a series of violent incidents involving the club dating back to 2005. Last year, four Salisbury West players — two seniors and two under-18s — were suspended for a total of 31 weeks across the season from five separate reports. In 2005, the division four grand final between Salisbury West and Payneham Norwood Union turned violent and five Tigers players were suspended for a total of 38 games. Salisbury West was also fined $2000 and was not promoted to division three for the next season.

To think you're going to just pluck mature age gems out of the state leagues like it's a given and fix underperforming AFL sides with them is just fanciful.

Maybe a second total lottery pick? A pick that could be anywhere from say 2 (assuming they only have one team needing a priority pick) to 19. Having two first rounders could potentially net you a decent player, while the in built randomness prevents it from being a slam dunk sure thing that you absolutely have to hold on to.

I don't see how giving them an extra top 10 pick that they can use to trade for Dylan Shiel is any different than trading for Chris Judd a decade ago. Every time Carlton has gone the quick fix it has failed.

I'm not sure I'd entirely call the Judd trade a failure, they pushed up the ladder reasonably far and made a couple of fair showings at the finals in the early part of this decade. After the disaster that was the 00s it was certainly a step in the right direction. What was going in with recruitment during those years is really the issue, not the one big fish they landed back in 2007.

That's the point, chasing a big fish and ignoring the structural issues that plague the club is what happened then, and is what will happen now. Look at Jacob Weitering, he's already on the same road Jack Watts went down.
