Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says he would be open to short term loaning of young players to help them get a game – and used the example of Jarrod Witts injury at the Gold Coast.
Suppose Richmond loans Fremantle a player. At the end of the season the player returns to Punt Road and gives Hardwick inside secrets about the Dockers. I don’t think so.
No way. If a player changes clubs it should be considered permanent not temporary. Open up some limited form of trading during the season if necessary.
Whilst I'm unsure if AFL clubs trading is the way to go I firmly believe that when clubs run out of ruckman they should be able to recruit one from the lower leagues as the weight disparity between able bodied ruckman and slight tall players can be up to 20 kg .

Maybe it's just me, but I don't get the impression that Dimma is really all that desperate to learn the deep inner secrets of Freo's gameplan :P

What about each finalist being able to add one wildcard player to their squad from the teams that don’t make the finals?
