Do you need to permission to train with the club you've just been delisted from?

Yep

 

OK then, can we trust the source of the above list? And by that I mean, was it published in the Herald Sun?

Because Tom McNamara has been training with the rest of the group, so either someone forgot to lodge a form, or someone who wrote the list forgot to cross check it.

Good point!

No idea, its on the AFL website. Probably on the same level as the Herald Sun, so yeah, somebody forgot to cross check it most likely.

The Huns usual form,, an old photo

 

Never understood the need for permission to train. Surely it should just be to the discretion of the clubs who trains with them?

Might have something to do with insurance?

Yep

So - or therefore how do we get around this -as he has definately been training with us ?

Might not be an issue with us but an omission from the list...nothing to be concerned about

I did wonder about that, but I just assumed that things like insurance are paid by the clubs, not the AFL. If that's the case then it comes back to it being at the discretion of the club and none of the AFL's business.

If the insurance premiums are paid by the AFL, then you're right, it makes complete sense.

Any player that is invited to train at this time of year is uncontracted. I am sure the premission to train is a way to protect the player's rights - perhaps officially through the AFLPA. Not just injuries but perhaps usual broader employment type considerations.

Odd that Tom McNamara is not on the list, but perhaps additions can be made over time. Suprised none of the Casey boys are having a run as well.

Forgot to mention: Source is the Herald Sun, but the same listed printed in The Age, afl.com.au

... and is quite happy to pay his own medical bills ......


I would imagine that after the National Draft we will have several other players training with us and hoping for a rookie spot.

Does anyone know anything about Ryan Murphy the Dockers discard? Physically he looks like a good option but never set the world on fire in the 5 or so years at Dockers (not the only one). Opinions?

kicked over 100 i think in the WAFL

Just a theory, but ....

If a club has made a commitment to re-rookie a delisted player, do they still need permission? Did Newton train with us at this stage last year? Admitedly he was still contracted to us, but maybe the promise to re-rookie is the get out clause.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
