I’ve been blind sided by this entire thing . I contacted a Eagles board member when rumours were a float weeks ago .’
I got told the player first name Sam was BS twice I asked my contact twice told it’s rumours.
Then Capel writes in the paper from the club .
Pity the club took weeks to tell the fans members
But end result two new recruits for the Eagles

I'm glad the club kept this as a 'need to know' situation. Leaks have happened to our detriment in the past. I'm glad we have been pro-active and assertive in getting these players and hopefully they will be assets.

Yes I know there not breaking any laws but being a community club do they not have a greater sense of importance to act somewhat responsibly and lead the way when it comes to protecting our community.
Ill probably cop some crap for saying that but I don't know squeezing last minute recruits from a state which is at the height of the covid crisis is somewhat wrong imo.
Ill leave now.

"MJP1993", you'll have to put on a better deerstalker.
There were a lot of processes to go through, so why announce something that might not have even happened, it just leaves the club open for ridicule..

Whether or not they play or not this week, who knows. Both are clinging to their AFL dream...... hoping to gain attention in a league that is still in operation.
Both are playing for zero dollars as per the salary cap.
Personally I think its a bit rich for some of the more financial clubs to whinge about the opposition recruiting too many top level recruits......

I dont have a problem with the clubs recruiting VFL and other interstate players provided they meet all the COVID-19 protocols and are free of it
What I have a potential problem with (and I am unsure if it is occurring) is if they are being recruited with the lure of the job keeper/job saver federal payment
To me that is not what they payment is about. its about protecting existing employees and jobs not new employees.
Happy to be informed that this isn't the case.
