Could someone please expand on the salary cap rules if you pay out a players contract on the basis of career ending injuries.

You will recall that Lamumba was placed on the long term injury list with only 2 or 3 rounds to go. This required special approval from the AFL under the rules. It was presumably done for a purpose and I don't think it was the usual purpose of allowing a rookie upgrade.

I think if a player retires as a result of an injury, sustained from footy,he can be paid out up to half of his salary and there are salary cap benefits to that payment, despite the obvious saving.

There was talk about something to do with all that being the reason he was put on the LTI at the end of the year.

Thanks Redleg.... much appreciated

for a workplace sustained injury "half your salary for the next 2-3 years " is not a whiz bang pay out. I appreciate AFL is not your normal workplace but it just seems light.

It does have the benefit that a player who is contracted would not easily accept an allegation by the club that they have a career ending injury and thus minimises the chance of rorting.

I may as well put this , I had a good chat to H at training, there was a concern with his concussion, he was in the hands of neurologists etc, the decision was to stop everything, give him an extended break so to speak.

The prognosis going forward is good, he was feeling a whole lot better with everything when I spoke to him

Just wants to be ready day 1 pre season and take it from there

Glad to hear if this is the case and hopefully he comes back stronger and keen.

I think H is one of those 'cherry on top' players. Will look better as we do and adds a very important ingredient in leg speed.

I would still find a spot on a back flank if he gets back to his best so not issues in holding him whilst contracted even though he's clearly a different cat.

Hopefully this would see Hunt unleashed on a wing also

After the Casey match we can say goodbye to Spencer(5th),Michie(zilch),Trengove(4th),Grimes(5th),M.Jones(zilch),Newton(zilch),Terlich(zilch),Dunn(4th) and Garland (4th). In brackets is the draft pick we could command ( more like pray for) ANB and Kennedy Harris may survive,we need someone to get rid of for next year.

My list of changes at the end of the year (delisted, traded or otherwise):

  • Dawes
  • Grimes
  • Lumumba
  • Terlich
  • Newton
  • Max King
  • Michie
  • ANB
  • Dunn or Garland
  • Matt Jones

I still would hang on to Max King for another year, though most wouldn't, but hard to argue the rest.

Unfortunately I think JT is also finished.

I think Kennedy is not much either.

I would rather back Taylor in the draft and trading in a couple of players with pace and skill. Something the above group don't have.

Trengove gets another chance because he just signed a contract and I can't see anyone else wanting him.  The reality is he was found out to be too slow in 2011, but he deserves another chance for all he's been through.

I'd have no issue with trying to offload Kennedy.

Give ANB another pre season and see if he comes on. I don't think it's wise to get rid of a 2 year player who has consistently dominated VFL games.

Need to bear in mind that it's players like ANB that place the most pressure on the firsts to perform week in, week out.

ANB looked classy at times last year, this year he's looked unskillful and messy.

Hard to argue with

the only one that I see a glimmer of hope for is Dunn but only if you can put a fast player near him to take the ball and get it moving when Dunn gets the ball

His VFL play reminds me of a dinosaur but he does get the ball.

I wouldn't be upset if he stayed but I think we only need one of him or Garland and Dunn has more currency, therefore we might jag a fourth round pick for him.

Did you get to a lot of Casey games? Or are you basing it off a couple of AFL showings?

I think I'm with you here, CB. I think had Trengove not been a co-captain and come back from such an injury, he would have been gone too. JKH is probably near that list too. 

However, I don't think we'll get rid of that many, simply because it means we have to replace them and it's not like we're flush for picks. Dawes, Lumumba, Garland and Dunn are all pretty experienced players too, which would mean replacing them with experience.

I rate JKH, needs a good run with injury but that may never come.

He would have helped a lot if fit today.

Melbourne and Casey games.

I rated him highly last year, despite big numbers in the VFL has just looked off the boil this year.

The guy was drafted in the 40's and has shown glimpses of AFL level footy.

If the club starts churning through draftees at a rate of 2 years then you're out, I'd be pretty concerned.

I'm more concerned about holding on to players for too long.

So you're saying that two years is too long?

There' so many examples in of late draft picks taking a couple of years to find their feet at AFL level. Dane Swan is a classic and probably a suitable comparison to ANB.

ANB is not deadwood.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
