Leave this one here for our Richmond fans. The man has a point and for the AFL to be consistent they’d probably have to follow this path.



Not that consistency has ever mattered to the AFL

Surely nobody wants the AFL to ban anyone for getting a free agent though? They made a huge error banning the Swans and they only did so because they were annoyed that Buddy didn't go to GWS in the same way GAJ went to GC.

I also don't think Pridham was being serious when he suggested a Richmond trading ban.

If the Tiges are receiving a COLA allowance I would say ban away but sure that they are not and it certainly looked like the Swans were able to grab Buddy because of there inflated salary cap and it was all done in such a sneaky way , but it all seems a bit like sour grapes maybe because a player the coach was reluctant to give games they let go just won the Brownlow  :D

Apparently afterwards he told someone it's still a really tough decision after winning a premiership...1% chance he stays? :-\

Standard line to roll out to the media. Hes gone and I have no ill feeling toward him.

Going home on a longer, more lucrative deal than he was getting at WCE? Fair play

Goes out on a good note, played very well all finals against the two AA rucks!

[PowerBug]

Hopefully gives us the inside word on how to beat you guys... :'(
