Did the AFL change its trade rules after the Todd Marshall controversy?
D did the A AFL alter the rules around trading in the Todd Marshall instance that the Bulldogs in Port Adelaide had
been working toward? No, there was a clarification set out last year um in a memo that, you know, 'cause we talk about the natural operation of the draft and there was some examples given and it was you know, it was a three or four page memo, but it was really clear what what it was doing there.
What clarification did the AFL provide about free‑agency and top‑up payments?
And it was if there's an exchange or if there's a free agency transaction between clubs, then there can't be top up payments in a separate transaction in the same um trading period.
Are you mindful that you don't want what some on the outside would see as dodgy side arrangements to facilitate a major trade? What I mean
Why must each trade stand on its own without side arrangements?
The rules for Ever and A Day have been that every trade has to stand on its own. With free agency and the compensation which the clubs, you know, which we know is linked to the uh remuneration that the the you know the free agent gets, that then is a big determinant in terms of the compensation that the the team losing the free agent gets. And what we don't want is that being manipulated artificially to get a higher compensation because it's the other sixteen clubs that pay the price for that compensation.
How does the AFL protect clubs from manipulated compensation in free agency?
So it's uh it's a rule to protect all of the other clubs and um yeah, comfortable with that.
