I assumed so until I did a search straight after and couldn't find didly on Salary Cap rules. 

If anyone can that would be much appreciated.

clint, if you really want to troll the freo wanchors, go back there and suggest that freo are considering a swap of andrew brayshaw for dogga. naturally you heard it from a good source close to the club.

Always like to refer to them as expansion clubs when winding Freo, West Coast, Port and Crows supporters up.

Can't find anything official but various articles say it's been gone for 5 years now. My mistake.

The AFL decided to get rid of the Veterans discount in 2014, it was officially removed at the end of 2016, for the start of the 2017 season, the delay was to allow clubs time to rework contracts etc

I know it’s probably not in Brad Scott’s control but whats a bet his brother has asked him for a favour to have this rule repealed? 😂

Franchises or organisations. Whichever fits.

The whole 'next David Schwarz'  narrative  really does get a good flogging on here, but he's no way at that level at all, or ever will be. 

Ox pre knee was primed in becoming a genuine superstar of the competition. At one stage he was on par with Wayne Carey as the best player of the competition. I rate Carey alongside Leigh Matthews and Gary Ablett Snr as one of the best ever players we've seen come through. 

Luke Jackson will be a very good ruckman in years to come. Imo I think he is a tad short for a ruckman in being able to reach the levels of a Dean Cox or Max Gawn of being that star factor in his rightful position. 

Close comparisons imo would be a Jeff White or Stefan Martin who were able to win the footy 20-25 possessions a game and play as that extra midfielder due to their high athleticism.

More freakish and far better to watch than JW or Stef. Is an X factor to a midfield and runs faster than both.

Reminds  me of a young 3yo colt ready to run in the Derby. 

Hope we can get 2 more years out of Dogga. 

Who knows  might be a four peat!!! 

Is still something special and no matter what happens I had the privilege of watching LJ live ( plus others) turning the GF our way with a bang bang bang!

Will never ever forget it!

Yeah could be worse. I could have compared him to Jack Watts but he was ridiculously soft.

Jacko at least cracks in.

Okay I'll try and break it down for you because we all know you've got a history on here in struggling to understand the basics.

The comparison to Jeff White/Stefan Martin is purely only for their athletic ability and being able to get around the ground and winning midfield like numbers. In fact you could lump Nic Naitanui as well with the follow up work after a ruck contests. 

Jackson freak athletic ability is what makes him pretty special and unique. In today's terms he's was probably a touch small for a ruckman but he makes up for his ability to get around the ground so easily and win the footy.

Jeff White in full flight was very exciting to watch.

Let's not forget for a guy that was only 195cm he would easily jump over guys like Peter Everitt, Shaun Rehn, Brad Ottens, Paul Salmon who were well over 200cm plus.

White was also well ahead of his time with his ball use and ability to get around the ground. His kicking was pretty elite for a big bloke especially in an era where ruckman were more known to be the lumbering types.

Also, Jeff could take some serious hang time. His leap was insane.

The problem with Jeff was his shin problems and then also when they brought in the centre circle rule which limited his biggest strength and that was his run and jump and ability to just thump the ball forward.

You had me at Stef Martin

Thanks for the laughs

Keep up the good work

Yeah White's footskills were pretty underrated for a big man. Did a great job linking through the middle and before the centre circle came in his leap was almost criminal with his foot being at the height of the opposition ruckman's head. 

Super player, forever grateful that we had him.

Goes alright the kid.

Very tall. Wouldn't be surprised if he's around the 197cm mark. Tall and lanky giraffe who towered above everyone else.

Good save Zeph. 

I reckon it'd be worth getting in the ears of Sam Hayes from the Power if Jacko leaves. i really like the signs he's showing as a player and he could come in and develop under Max which i think would be super appealing to a young ruck. 

At port he's behind Lycett and possibly even Finlayson in terms of the pecking order, and i believe he's a vic native. 

Port rate him but i reckon we could get him for a reasonable trade price as well

Interesting, one year to run on his contract. Wonder what it would take to get him?

I think if he requested a trade there is a decent possibility Port would grant it, but we'd probably have to give up something like a future second to get him. he's a talented player and a similar style ruckman to Max in my opinion 205cm Giant

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
