According to this article there is no such thing as a veterans list anymore.

http://www.afl.com.a...73/default.aspx

It's an old article so not sure if it's still valid.

Veteran's rule - The Age

  Quote
The rule offers clubs the opportunity to pay a veteran about $100,000 that doesn't count in its salary cap.

    No, we've failed because we haven't signed any good players and lots of other teams already have. Simple enough?

    Well would you like to tell me just who these players are?

    Knights Richmond, Goddard Essendon, then there's ... perhaps you can tell me just who has signed and not according to SEN actually signed.

    what??

    The Filth have a cap like all other clubs...Right.

    To pay for these new signings they are going to have to shed some solid A-, B+ soldiers...Right.

    Settle down Stuie. This is panning out just as i thought.

    To be honest, most of the players who's names have been kicked around would be good enough to play for us next year... And so far the "credible" rumours have all been pretty spot on, Lynch to Collingwood, Goddard to Essendon, Tippett to leave...

    1) I'm not a big fan of trading for contracted players, it means the previous club dictates their minimum worth

    2) I was really hoping for more FA action so we don't lose any draft picks in trades

    Just a bit?

    There's two and half weeks left stuie and Tim Harrington just said we are interested in many players both KP and mids (cards. Close. To. Chest)..

    Frustrated you are and you could end up looking like KB in two weeks time if you don't chill.

    Who are Adelaide picking up? West Coast? Hawthorn? North? Bulldogs? Port? GC? GWS? Saints?

    Haven't heard boo about them either

    And it's day 2 in a ONE MONTH process - just calm down

    If we'd signed up a few players day one, you'd probably complain they're duds anyway

    That wasn't my question though was it?

    Lynch signed yet has he?

    Tippett has made his intentions known for the last 3 or 4 years and has a clause in his contract that the Crows have to clear him to is club of choice; has he signed with anyone yet?

    Honestly, the 4 confirmed offers of FAs so far are Pearce (who's to say we didn't table an offer); Knights (he was headed to Richmond no matter what - plus has struggled in the last few years); Chaplain (turnover merchant and we're not in need of a tall back) and Goddard (2 out of 9 years he's been good, the rest he's been ordinary and not for $800k pa. thanks)

    So what more publically should we be doing, just to appease impatient supporters?

    the Filth were always going to be front runners. Who they shed from their list is the interesting part.

    West Coast - likely Wellingham

    Hawthorn - made the GF, don't need much

    North - likely Caddy

    Bulldogs - after Dawes

    The rest are more at a draft stage I would have thought

    Lynch paperwork has gone in this arvo.

    Haven't even heard a rumour about Tippett coming to us. 0 chance.

    An old bull and a young bull stand on a hillside, overlooking a pasture. The young bull says to the old bull, “Hey, let’s run down and blank one of those heifers.” The old bull replies, “let’s walk down and blank ‘em all."

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
