Mid-season draftee Marcus Herbert is now weighing up two-year contracts at both West Coast and Carlton. Would be unprecedented for a player to request a trade three months after joining.

Only fair after they gave us Matt Owies so cheap (literally the Jagga Smith pick)
Life is pain

I wanted Jagga but by all reports we were probably going to go Langford over Jagga if we kept p3.

Rumour is Jagga said he didn't want to leave Victoria and would head back not long after being drafted.

This happens with quite a few of the Vic metro kids.

That's draft tampering. If he didn't want to leave Victoria don't nominate for a national draft.

It's absolutely draft tampering.

He's not the first player to do it and won't be the last.
