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!

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
