The AFL has totally botched this and, admittedly, we haven't helped ourselves either. I mean, who in their right mind would come across to a perennial basket case of a club if they are yearning for success in the last 2-3 seasons of their career?
If it was an equitable system FA's should only be allowed to transfer to a team that qualifies through some sort of ladder calculation, e.g. average 12th position or lower for 2 or 3 consecutive years. That Dangerfield was allowed to go to Geelong, or Lynch to Richmond is a total joke.
John Elliot was right; "we don't rebuild at Carlton". We still haven't.
