I think it's got enough positives in it that it works well for if you're a bottom club or you're a top club.
As long as there's some, you know, there's some real honesty around the trading period.
If you're a bottom club and you're losing, let's say you're losing, not Harley Reid's a bad example, Elliot Yeo, who's on, Essendon's on the bottom now.
So if they were to trade Zach Merritt now to Hawthorne again,
would Hawthorne pay any less than they were going to pay, three first-round picks?
I think they would possibly pay more if they feel like they were in the mix of winning.
But that was how you get the rulings on what you have to trade.
Because you've got to save clubs from themselves.
Self-sabotage would come about here, I think, and that would be dangerous.
So I think it's great.
I really do like the idea because there's players at some clubs, and this is the pure art of it, the pure sense of it, is that,
You know, the backup ruck at a club who's never going to get a game or the third ruck selection who's never going to get a game.
So you've got to get through two more ruckmen.
But the Bulldogs need a ruckman.
If you trade... Well, can we have a trade period or a loan period like the EPL?
loan players and bring them back, you know, because you then get the side who's doing the loaning, they get to develop their player at a higher level.
So that can work really well too.
