The AFL is now subject to farcical scenes and league CEO Andrew Dillon needs to act for the good of the game.
AFL players not only have free agency after six years’ service, they have also created freedom of movement while under contract. The list of players walking out on clubs while contracted – some with multiple years to serve – is getting longer and longer and suggesting player power has gone too far.– sounds the alarm bell for a rebalance in favour of the clubs that want free trading.
The Demons’ general manager of AFL performance, Alan Richardson, expressed disappointment in losing a player of Neal-Bullen’s calibre but said the club understood his wishes. “I don’t need to have that discussion ,” Yze said. “He’s one of our best players and he’s contracted. The contract stuff is irrelevant, and the speculation around what he’s doing next year is a little bit disrespectful. He’s got four years to run on his contract, and he’s one of our best players … my responsibility is making sure he’s playing good footy.”Yze’s strong stance may hold little weight if Bolton declares he wants out.
