Stuff all besides the cap space it'll open up

I’m not sure about that. If a player is contracted and retires as far as I’m aware his salary is still part of the TPP. Possibly the reason both TMac and BBB are going around again.

    Nothing, we were the ones that signed him on a long term deal knowing he could be done at any moment.

    Medical retirement should mean Gus is taken care of by the league and not salary cap.

    The only other thing we should’ve got / should get is access to a replacement player by the SSP.

    It’s crazy to have the deadline last week and Gus announced now. Provision should be made for medical retirements before the first bounce of the season proper.

    Brayshaw is a young man with a uni degree. He's retiring from footy not life.. He'll get a well paid MonFri job easily. Why compensation?  For what?

    AFL/tribunal found Maynards act was legal.

    Case closed. Its disgusting what happened but no-one in the AFL cares.

    Brayshaw knew the risks but underestimated Collingwood.

    I believe Brayshaw was set up in the QF. Maynard elevated himself straight at Brayshaws head.

    CEO tricky Gil hid under his desk that week. Maynatd was always getting off.

    Its all over now.

    Agnus is worth minimum 16 first round picks.

    I regrettfully agree we'll get bugger-all out of the AFL - a list spot if we are lucky.  On a more general note, surely the AFL in introducing a new rule after the Maynard 'incident' is essentailly admitting some sort of liability.

    Frankly my dear I couldn't give a damn what Maynard thinks about anything. I have a strong view about the reckless intent of that incident. I'm not going to discuss it any further. 

    I am

    Can we request Maynard to be dressed in sackcloth and walked through the streets whilst people throw fruit at him and hurl abuse?

    Or take him for a trip to Romsey Manor for a mushroom lunch prepared by Uncle bitters

    We should be able to add someone to the list for this year.

    I always thought it was a pregame set up to take Gus out knowing how important he was to our set up

    I presume it opens us up for mid season selections - most likely for #10 and #29

    Mid year selections,    JT should get another helper sign the very best young talent, before next years draft, We will not be competing against all the other clubs   not all will have spaces.

    No doubt The Filth took out Angus in that game

    Premeditated plan executed 

    They all loved it

    Eddie shouted “Justice”

    These are the [censored] called Collingwood 

    Young Demons may now understand how much they must be despised and Hated for eternity 

    Don’t get me started on The AFL

    If he had retired at the end of last season then I think the MFC would have retained Harmes.

    Zero compensation. 

    Missed the SPP deadline by a few days unfortunately.

    Different rules for medical retirements and additional special rules for concussion

    Not much use getting a top up player now in the sense that there would be few with the required quality or match fitness available. If there were I think the AFL would look favourably

    We should be able to access a RFA without the matching process.

    Agree 100% and this is why I’m imposing a media ban on myself for season 24. I will come here and listen to the DL pod and that’s it.

    The profound lack of courage by the tribunal to suspend Maynard and the subsequent hypocrisy of the afl to outlaw the act were the final straw. And now the salivating of the populist media over the Joel smith debacle… I can do without the angst.

    Far more likely we would have kept James Jordon IMO

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
