How can a club extend a players contract if he was under an extensive concussion measurement program?
Murphy had 1 year to run extend out to 3 years. Knowing he wouldn't play again would love to know what sort of a pay rise they gave him to strengthen their bargaining power for a comp pick.
Very negligent of Collingwood and the AFL for allowing this to happen effectively ticking off on it to futher their case for compensation.
Very suspicious activity allowed to happen and the AFL and turned a blind eye to it all.
compensation?
no club gets compensation when a player is forced to retire

so it turns out the filth did give murphy a new deal at the start of this year to last til the end of 2025
in the little paper jon ralph is saying:
They will honour that deal, but given the AFL has indicated it will set a precedent over Angus Brayshaw’s long-term contract it will not cost them in the salary cap.
The Pies and Demons will be able to exempt all or most of the salaries of those players going forward so Murphy’s retirement will in fact clear cap space for the Pies going forward.

Oh the wailing media today makes me ill. We all feel sorry for Murphy but I don’t remember this level of angst when Gus was knocked out of his career
every media organisation talked about it for days
and eulogised him as a great player
we sure as hell miss him

it was particularly funny, i thought, that the afl trade radio social post - which apparently is too big an image for me to share here? - asked where he'd be playing in 2024
i'mma take a wild stab in the dark and say...at gold coast?
now, 2025, however...

I'm sure he'd love the aints as well. How can any Queenslander not love Sir Ed Kuepper
Their last album a few years ago was fantastic
oh i hadn't even thought of them! i meant st. kilda as opposed to (the) saints or the aints

His disposal is awful
Will demand a lot in a trade
And of course he’s going to Geelong, isn’t he?

How old is this Andrew Stafford?
Scratch that. Just read the info at the link. Different dude.
Nah it’s the same dude isn’t it?

Don’t disagree about us. Just noting there’s a stack of clubs outside of us and last year’s grand finalists who appear legit this year.
definitely
other than the three stragglers down the bottom, it's a very even competition
so much is reliant upon good luck with injury and being in good form when it counts

Right now it feels like GWS, Port, Fremantle, Carlton and Geelong are all legitimate flag contenders.
For whatever reason, IMO the jury's still out on Sydney. I can't shake their fortnight of a loss to Richmond then trailing West Coast for a half. But you can probably add them to the list.
That's six sides before you get to Brisbane, Collingwood or us.
It's a pretty strong year at the top, IMO.
It doesn't help us that we have each of Brisbane, Collingwood, Port and Fremantle twice each.
we're just as much in contention as that top 6 you mentioned
i've have flagmantle out of that group and us in; they keep dropping close ones

I’m not sure. Nathan told yesterday. Maybe a ‘farewell’ session. Craig Kelly phoned Nathan immediately and offered him a position at the club. Nathan also in line for a large payout (from the Players’ fund?).
I assume Gus also in line for a similar payment, albeit small consolation.
terrible news all around
that hit on sam taylor today and the length of time he was unconscious - commentators said he was out for 8 mins - was scary

There was one awful play by Petracca, we get the turnover and quick connection then Petracca is out in space.
He then proceeds to stop to "lower the eyes" , no one is inside our fwd 50. 3 seconds later he kicks it high and long to no one. Turnover to the Lions.
Fritsch was screaming for the ball just outside of 50, granted he was on the opposite flank but Petracca never saw him.
But tbh, why didn't he decided to keep carrying the ball and then have a kick at goal from 45. He has enough space to do it and most of the Brisbane backs were running to their goal square. Mind blowing stuff 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
it's moments like exactly that where i think for all his undoubted qualities trac is not a 'smart' footballer

Zurharr from North (who isn't having a good year) might be gettable and could solve some of our forward line woes.
stringer v2
i know he is playing in a poor team with limited forward opportunities, but i don't think he'd suit us particularly as he shows no ability to roll thru the midfield
his teammate, luke davies-uniacke, is a 'pre-agent' this year and may be open to a trade to come to a good side
i think he'd cost quite a bit, both from a salary and a trade perspective
