Thanks, MTB! I hate the formats available on-line. Your version is in a nice, neat format that can be printed out and stuck on the wall. Much appreciated!

Hmm. The way I read it, he wants out. So, if that's the case, and we are happy about that, Contract is voided. End of story! If he doesn't want a lower wage, he stays at Melb & honours his Contract. But, as others have said, seems the Club wants rid of him at ANY cost. So be it...

So, I just reckon this whole thing of Player Contracts is a farce. I reckon that, if both Club and player agree it's best for the player to move on, then that means both parties agree to cancel the Contract. This would therefore mean that there is NO on-going commitment to pay part of the player's salary at his new Club. The Contract is dead and buried, and the player then negotiates a new contract with his new Club. All liability on the former club is then ceased. But, what would I know?!!

I'm sorry, but I still don't get it. Would the MFC really part with Clarry for just a future 3rd round pick?? And, then still have to pay half is salary??!! Maybe it's just me, but if done, that has to be the insanest trade deal in history! (Especially if we get picks 7 & 8 for Trac...!)

In fact, the new Gov't legislation will probably ban anyone under the age of 65 from accessing this site (for their own good!)

One of my all time favourite players! Very sad to hear of his passing. Condolences to his wife and family. Gone, but not forgotten!

What # is Mentha? (Seems 34 about the only vacant one...)

I realise this probably doesn't fit in this thread. But, it was too good to not post somewhere, so I'm sticking it here. (Sorry!) Dennis has a point when we all get a bit fired up watching the game on the telly! 😎

A Fair weather supporter, huh, Andy?

Who is Luker??

Yes, he and his great mate Stretch Jnr were drafted together. I had great hopes that Stretch Jnr would follow in his Dad's footsteps. Alas, was not to be. But, Nibbler hung in there, and became the great servant that he is. Will be missed.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! I've always said there are two things in footy that make me happy. One is Melb winning. The other is Coll'wood losing. And, if it happens in the same match, I'm over the moon. Now, if it ALSO keeps 'em outa the finals, well that would REALLY make the end of the season sweet!

LOL. Wasn't that mooted at the time of looking to set up the new GC team? Was talk of that being a Nth relocation. At the time, they had dispensed with the name "Nth Melb", and just wanted to be called "The Kangaroos". When talk turned serious about the relocation, they suddenly "rediscovered" their Nth Melb identity!

What's with the outfits these two teams are wearing?? If they'd both just worn their traditional jumpers, there would be no clash! I just don't get it! Aren't the teams proud of their jumpers any more??

FB, I'm not sure how your comment is an answer to my question. If anything, doesn't it just reinforce my question? (I know I must be missing something, just don't know what it is...)
