Stuff all besides the cap space it'll open up

Iā€™m not sure about that. If a player is contracted and retires as far as Iā€™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 shouldā€™ve got / should get is access to a replacement player by the SSP.

    Itā€™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?Ā  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.

    I regrettfully agree we'll get bugger-all out of the AFL - a list spot if we are lucky.Ā  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.Ā 

    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

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

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

    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

    Agree 100% and this is why Iā€™m imposing a media ban on myself for season 24. I will come here and listen to the DL pod and thatā€™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 debacleā€¦ I can do without the angst.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Womenā€™s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the womenā€™s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterdayā€™s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andĀ  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
