Putting a limit on the length of a contract is restraint of trade. The objective of freeing up free agency would also go against the AFL's equalisation policy because the clubs at the pointy end would keep on topping up at the expense of clubs at the other end of the ladder. Kane would have a different opinion on this if it was Port getting bled dry by the big clubs.
Clubs at the pointy end already keep topping up at the expense of clubs down the bottom and have been doing so for years. Exactly what difference does it make.
@@taliamason7986 It would only get worse with shorter contracts. Free agency was pushed by the AFLPA, not by the AFL. The AFL knows it detracts from their equalisation objectives.
@Geelongcats9090Harry Sheazel won the Rising Star, something JHF didn't do. Sheazel is an adequate replacement for JHF and North got Wardlaw as well, so North did really well out of it. You're just salty because Port has a Victorian coach who you South Australians hate, and you can't sack him. Your club's small mindedness of only wanting SA born coaches will keep you flag less for many years.
How about a cap at 5yr contracts for players with triggers of 1-3yrs providing a player hits a certain criteria. It does away with these long term contract risks and issues and it specifically puts the working nouse back onto the player. If they want that long term contract to stick then they have to perform
People like Cornes want shorter term contracts for players so that they can speculate more about who they will go to when their contract runs out. Whenever the media suggest something, it is solely to give them things to talk about.
@@dhenderson1810 probably right. IMO I think shorter contracts sounds like the most logical spin on protecting clubs from players literally dropping the ball/standards on form. And that's why I think if ever there was to be any contract past 5yrs, then having the nessacary criteria to trigger the extension is the way to go. It not only rewards players form with their long term contract and security, but it also protects clubs. Granted the only real side effect is that injuries could make alot of grey area on this but maybe that's tough love and luck of the draw.
For someone presenting as an intellectual even a footy one you should know the difference between laconic (using few words) and lackadaisical (lazy of action).
Just with West Coast From what i’ve seen players like Hough, Ginbey, Watermen, H edwards etc have comeback in very good nick West coast have had a couple injuries so far but everyone does Kane Cornes has never had anything positive to say about west coast even when they were good Port can’t do no wrong, can you imagine how much shit west coast would get if they stuffed up a concussion protocol Yet he went of on something that wasn’t anyone’s fault and was taken care of and handled well
Cornes gets Phil in to justify all the crap he brings up on the show , Cornes nearly has an orgasim when Phil says Carlton can't win the flag without Weitering .
@@Snappernose West Coast might be struggling at the moment, but it’s all swings and roundabouts there no point sitting in the middle of the ladder forever if you never win a grand final. Some people look at winning spoons as negative when realistically it’s a big positive, you can land. Yourself a high quality draft picks or have good trading power. West Coast are now currently the 2nd youngest side in the comp doesn’t take long to turn things around fast. What will be more concerning to other clubs is most of West Coast Eagles older players have moved on opening up their celery cup. And with some fantastic free agents out of contract in 2024 it will be exciting times.
@@dhenderson1810maybe so, but the suns will still not play finals. They will not jump from 15th to inside the top 8 without 3 changes and there just won’t be that many.
I rate u phill but what are u on about with the eagles? Are just waffling or stating player/s have actually come back unfit. Kane is always waffling about eagles but shocked me about phill
@@azzajames7661 He was actually saying he expects a bump in player availability because the players got to work in that Sept-Nov period in 2023 and have been in good nick. Worth listening to the entire press conference
