Rex is spot on!

Hey what ever happened to him jumping on the Richmond board?
They were keen a few years back but nothing ever came of it.

Rex is correct on this. I was actually thinking about this yesterday. We have to find 4 or 5 top quality - 23 and 24 year olds who can help the kids.
Yeah, that's easy, isn't it Ramps? With the draft and trade rules, they should be able to do all that next October as easy as pie.

give me a break.

As much is it sounds great, Rex is living in a world of make believe with flowers and bells and leprechauns and magic frogs with funny little hats. :help As Gordo said, The AFL has rules in place these days to prevent clubs from buying premierships and that is exactly what Rex is saying without saying it if you know what I mean. Will never happen in our lifetime! It would take us 10 years to buy 5 quality players under the current rules and salary cap constraints. The other fact is that clubs are now deliberately offering longer contracts to tie up quality players.

Time for the AFL to bring in free agency or a 10-year rule ;). Otherwise GB and tiga are right. You can't get 4-5 top quality players under the current trade/draft system especially as we have nothing to trade with.
