That's a different argument imo. I don't think clubs will be lining up to poach lobbe, even with his value to port.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. He is a vic and a improving ruckmen with pretty good stamina for a big guy. A team like Collingwood for example would be interested as its fair to say they are struggling in that area.

I went to six Anzac Day games in a row, 2006-2011, and got tickets by jumping on the Web as soon as they opened at 8.30 on a Monday morning for the general public.

Yes that has been possible in the past but last year for example there was only 12,000 tickets available for general public. This year the early estimates are that only 5-8k will be available and most of them will be standing areas only
Im lucky ive never had to worry, 3 premium reserved seats again this year

The AFL says any player who boycotts the NAB Challenge faces a year's pay, a family vacation in France and a free business course.

Kind of.
They are already under a provisional ban and aren't suppose to play in the NAB cup. They approached the AFL for special permission to lift the provisional bans to play in the NAB cup. Now they are threatening to boycott the games they are currently banned from unless they get their way by having any penalties back dated. Penalties that Paul Little is very confident they wont be getting, although he has been very confident about a lot of things over the last few years.

The AFL approached ASADA to clarify the provisional suspension rule as they did when Watson and Fletcher played International rules.
ASADA categorically stated that the provisional suspension only covers "legitimate" games so players are free to train and free to play NAB cup if the AFL permits. BUT and heres the big but, ASADA also told the AFL that if players are found guilty then the penalty is backdated to the last game they played, there was talk that this last game played rule also means trial games/NAB cup. Essendon has spoken to the AFL and told them they need a guarantee that if penalties are dished out they are backdated to the last "legitimate" game, if the AFL cant guarantee this then the players will be pulled from the NAB cup just incase.
Will know the decision on Hird's case today but IMO he doesnt have a hope of having it overturned

Regarding the NAB cup I dont have an issue with what the club is doing, not making any demands just wanting to clarify the rules. At the moment any suspensions backdated to September, need to know if playing in the NAB cup affects this
