Let them! If they want to change it means something's wrong where they are and they want no part of it! What, you support effective imprisonment??

Oh please, our players don't seem to have a problem with the draft. Unlike your greedy money hungry lot.

Subjugation works well in the AFL doesn't it? Turd of a comp!

Yeah, let them destroy the fabric of their team.

No wonder NRL struggles for crowds and members. The clubs have no soul, no history, no tradition. The fans follow suite.

The fabric of the team is already destroyed if they want to leave! So let them! NRL struggles for crowds because of TV and no other reason. Members? Of what? The Leagues Clubs are going great guns last I looked! Soul, history and tradition right there! The backbone of the community and don't you freaking forget it!

Theyre leaving for cash primarily yet they still play against the team theyre heading to and with the team theyre leaving. Its a debarcle!

To use your own words against you, Striker, COP THAT!

Okay, announced they're changing next season mid season is bad. I'll admit that at least. But that doesn't change what I said otherwise! Get rid of the draft!

The NFL and NBA has drafts so there must be something about them

Don't compare Australia to America, Goofy!

Why? They are two of the best sporting comps in the world and use a draft. Why isnt that a reasonal model to copy?

Because that's America! We aren't the freaking 51st state!

So how many states are needed for a draft to work? And why that number?

Striker you should just up and admit that drafts work to equalise competitions. Stop making excuses.

Drafts are a violation of business law. People should be able to go where they want to go!

They why haven't people challenged it in the courts, smart arse??

Because the AFL scares them off, that's why!

How? This isn't China!
