What about the restraint of trade laws? Wouldn’t that come into effect at times? If this is still about the so called club equalisation process allowing for sanctioned poaching and corruption, then this totally organised shit and active and purposefully shaping of clubs would have gone too far for most of us I reckon 😠 _________________ I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas.

Excellent. At the moment, the players seem to have all the power - demanding where they want to be traded and it's an exception to see a player not traded to the club they want.
Now the club can move a player on to the highest bidder. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

I made a $50 bet you’d agree with the AFL, thanks mate. |

Betting with yourself isn't really a bet. You know that right?
Anyway, every other decision the AFL has made to enhance player mobility (following US sports) has made the game better. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

Fair enough opinion from you but would you like to comment on the points I made for the sake of a discussion dude? _________________ I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️ |

What exactly is being restrained? How is a club trading a player to a team different to a team drafting a player? _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

You won’t be welcome at the AFLPA BBQ tomorrow. In what universe do you think the AFL dictating to players they have to move or else is okay? AFL wanted Buddy at GWS — with the powers they’re chasing, they could do it. It’d be terrible for the game and — news flash — we’re not the NBA or America, but Aussie Rules Football. Don’t tell me the AFL would act with integrity. |

The only conspiracy theory here is who you really barrack for.
Maybe read the details. What could possibly go wrong. Or are you happy with the Treloar and Grundy trades?
‘It’s ridiculous’: AFL players reject trading without consent
Paul Marsh.
A club push to allow contracted footballers to be traded against their will has met with fierce resistance from players as their union negotiates a new collective bargaining agreement with the league.

And in return, we the fans want to power to sack AFL's admin staff including CEO and the board |

I don’t think it’s the AFL per se who are trading players against their will, it’s the clubs. So Collingwood could send Grundy to Adelaide for some first rd draft picks instead of being forced to accept Melbournes offer. |

Exactly
So is everyone still up in arms against it now? _________________ https://forever.collingwoodfc.com.au/sav-sinks-the-dockers/ |

I don’t think there is a conspiracy, just that I could see the club’s hand being forced at times to do the AFL’s bidding, depending on which player at which club the AFL want. Nothing is ever cut and dry with the AFL. They will have wriggle room until the process is clear and then set it in concrete. _________________ I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas.
