Earlier this week, the AFL and AFL Players Association, during a joint press conference, announced the 2012 would see the introduction of Free Agency.
The plan involved (as a basic summary) the unrestricted ability for a delisted player to pick his own new club, the middle tier of players to also pick there own club and the top 25% earners at a club to sign with a new club but the original club can match the offer either forcing the player to stay or go into the draft.
Well its fair to say, like me, our president, Jeff Kennett was not a fan of either the rule brought in or the process that saw it come in. You can check out what he had to say on the Hawks web site by clicking here.
Also I have linked our to audio of Jeff talking to Kevin Bartlett on Melbourne radio station, SEN.
