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

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
