Sacked Carlton defender Josh Bootsma set to sign up with West Coast Eagles. WA product Bootsma, 21, was sacked in June after being caught posting explicit photos on social media. He was sent packing by the Blues just days before his partner Kyla gave birth to the couple’s first child, daughter Indiana. Bootsma said he was a new man since becoming a father, having secured a full-time job with an appliance retailer and relaunched his career in the WAFL with Peel Thunder. “It’s a dream to hopefully one day play AFL again and whatever club that’s at, I’d be very thankful to them for drafting me again,’’ he said. |

And to think Eagles fans thought they would never see Cox again after Dean retired.

There's no such story Lloydy so I have no idea where you got that from, the last thing they would be doing is taking a diick like him on board.

Don't think Buddy would leave a club he won 2 premierships with for an extra 50 grand a year...........
Tippett will be sleeping outside Circular Quay station in a few years if he doesn't lift his game. |

By:
Swans probably had decent room in their cap to get someone as well, with Malceski and O'Keefe gone and Goodes who will basically sign on for peanuts.
|
|
By:
all the players will need to bunk in with Buddy in Bondi
![]() how rude is it to change the rules in trade week ffs - not happy AFL ![]() ![]() ![]() |

By:
probably lucky Goodsey is staying now - we wouldn't be able to replace him with other than a kid
|

By:
he wasnt on 950k wif the back 2 back champs.... |
|
By:
He aint on 950 with the runners up. Yet.
|
|
By:
Agree I don't see how the AFL can legally do that as long as the Swans aren't breaching the salary cap the Swans should be able to tell the AFL to get stuffed.

Greater Western Sydney has not been similarly restricted, with the league advising the club that "due to its Total Player Payment position, list structure and contractual commitments, it would be permitted to retain the COLA levels at $800,000 for the 2015 year and $600,000 for the 2016 year," with no trade or free agency bans.

So because the Swans pay what they are entitled to pay they are getting punished?

By:
the most logical theory i've heard is that Sydney was going to do a deal on a big name and the AFL didn't want to see that happen again so changed the rules
it's crazy though, we are being screwed ![]() ![]() ![]() |

might of been dangerfield..
|
|
By:
Wouldn't have thought so the cats have already got Dangerfield or will have by this time next year.
|
|
By:
Pretty sure it was Patfull who was going to go to the Swans
|
|
By:
After what I heard tonight maybe getting Christensen to the Eagles isn't such a good idea after all so back to my original option of Travis Colyer at Essendon apparently if Hird stays there's going to be quite a few more players leaving very soon.
|
|
By:
Patfull was the big rumour - Buddy in reverse, wanted to go to the Swans ends up at the Giants
still not happy with the AFL ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
By:
Bulldogs should let Griffin go and get as much for him as possible imo
his heart won't be in staying there next year |
|
By:
or sack the coach
|
|
By:
Coach is gone
|
|
By:
well there you go - will Griffin stay now? I'm guessing so - has blood on his hands
|
|
By:
Swans should sign Griffin
