Question without notice: 

If Sloane retires after 2 or 3 years, do they have to keep him in their salary cap for the remaining years of his contract?

Yes.

AFL made a ruling when Swans signed Buddy on 9 year deal to ensure the contract $ stay are in sal cap for contract duration even if player retires/cashes out early @ discounted value. 

Hawks have carried Vickery $ this year and I'm pretty sure we carried Lumumba $ last year.

    that's my understanding

    though take into account front-loading and year 5 (&4?) may be conditional and therefore actually a contract extension

    I had a quiet chuckle that Price Gibbs was the second happiest in the room !

    Good that he stayed, how has he been after foot injury, he is slow not a great kick, 5 years too long?, the problem with his type is they tend to lose a yard of pace once they hit 29 30, when you are slow that makes a big difference, is he over hyped? I think the crows have missed their chance of a flag, should have been last year and injuries have ruined this year, but I guess next year they might be right up there, with both crouch bothers fully fit and Brodie smith fully fit. Vince now has no value to our team, we gave him  another contract so he could get Sloane, now with that gone Vince should retire now.

    So all media experts that were sure he would leave for Victoria were completely wrong.

    Every player that puts off contract negoitations leaves... what a load of BS. 

    Sloane is a loyal guy, not much of it left these days

    After losing do many stars over the years, the Crows are desperate to keep one, so have paid overs. Well overs.

    They won't care, they get a bonus first round draft pick for free this year!

    That's it.

     

    And if after 3 yrs, the Crows tell Sloane, "they cannot guarantee him a seniors game for the next 2 yrs", as others have moved ahead of him...

    Sloane possible could decide to retire.  Especially with the dollars vastly dropping in the last 2 years of said contract.

    I wonder, IF our recent 3 losses in a row, altered his thinking on leaving them?

    Pretty sure this is wrong. The commentators are talking about how much money hawthorn have in their salary cap because of cyril retiring (contracted until 2020). 

    The afl didn't make a ruling they just said you would have to because it was such a big contract not sure how they would go about following through with their threat if he did retire.

    I don't know if it's the rule, but you should definitely have to keep a retired player in your salary cap if they pull the pin early IMO.

    i think - and i could be wrong (it's been known to happen) - that if you sign a free agent then you have to honour their contract

    it's why hawthorn were still paying vickery as part of their salary cap this season ($500k) and why they won't have to with rioli

    Seems to make sense. Does that mean in the case of Sloane they wouldnt have to since technically he just extended his contract?

    Well they replaced Lever with Doedee easily enough so that's what they'd be thinking and licking their chops.

    If it doesn't apply to Sloane (Free Agent) it would give Adelaide an unfair advantage on number of contract years offered.  Not sure about the detail on this.

    Completely shut down by James Harmes, who claims another scalp.

    Laughing at the Crows signed him to that ridiculous contract.    Injury prone and tagged out of games more often than any 'star' midfielder in recent memory.

    Definitely an interesting contract. Never thought they would give in and cough up the 5 years. Still can’t break a good tag.

    Has always lacked polish. A solid B grader for mine. In the same class as Jones IMO.

    Think his best cracked in to the top 20 mids that I'd call A grade, as Jones probably was in 2014. Not convinced it was a long peak of quality though.

    His marking, and ability to get to and influence contests was as good as any midfielder not named Fyfe.

    A little surprised we put Harmes on to Sloane and not Gibbs but I guess it was to shut do Slaone befre he got started and go head to head with the rest

    Wouldn't get a touch in an intra-club game!

    • 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.
