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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
