lol. There is no legal cause of action available for a reaction to the vaccine in circumstances like you describe. No fault scheme? Sure. Legal case? No.

It was 'D Day': When concussion nearly ended Jones' dream
It was a very real possibility that a concussion would end Liam Jones' career.t.co
I guess in the end the brain damage was too much.
Pity, I liked LJ as a player.
When news broke of Jones not getting the jab, I said to my brother whether it had anything to do with maybe his mum and her passing.

I thought if a player retired while under contract, it was up to the club and player to agree on a payout? The reasons for the retirement would obviously usually be a factor (injury, etc).
It is then up to the AFL if/how much of that is counted against the cap.

Enough abuse towards Jones. You can express an opinion without it.

There is a provision in place for this situation which has already been negotiated by the afl and the aflpa. I read that the player would receive a base payment of 23,000 and a portion of the current year's contract. The calculations I saw had it at 40.000 to 60,000 in total. That would be it.

If true then it's a different set of circumstances to merely being anti-vax though. And my earlier point stands that workplaces have a legislated responsibility to provide a safe workplace
This is one of the more insane things I've ever read
The antivax rhetoric as spread alarmingly in the remote ingenious community’s
I say alarmingly because they are in one of highest risk categories

Pretty much this. Oh well. The world keeps revolving and everyone gets replaced in the end.What a bummer
Courageous being thrown around too much here. The word everyone is looking for is steadfast and it’s very appropriate in a situation where someone is sticking to their ideas and beliefs and following through with an action.
Also, LOL to the “beliefs are the most important thing a person can have”. Nah. Knowledge, wisdom and actions. People’s beliefs usually fold bloody quickly when the time comes for them to put beliefs ahead of personal impact. At least Jones was steadfast in his and followed through with action.
Another is respect people’s decisions which seems to be used to stop people questioning people’s reasoning behind that decision. You can question, disagree, be of the opinion it’s a poor choice. Don’t demand people respect something. Just ask them to acknowledge it and if they don’t like it tell them to move on. They are likely
never going to, and shouldn’t have to, respect it anyway.
Hope he is financially set up and this decision works out for him. Based on what is known it’s a poor choice in my opinion but acknowledge it’s his choice and he is steadfast enough of that belief to follow through
Next Blues champion might just find his spot in the our next premiership backline out of this.
Go Blues.
NSW: indigenous population is 3% of total population. 22% of positive cases in NSW are indigenous people….
Thank you LJ for your service and well done on turning your career around. Big decision you've made and I'm sure you have considered all the ramifications. Onwards and upwards for the team. We can't afford to think any other way. Opportunity knocks for a number of guys and I guess we'll address the loss of a best 22 KP defender before we start next season. We need to find a mature age guy from the stage leagues or the country who is desperate for a chance. Hopefully Young, McDonald and McGovern step up. I think we'll be ok.

I was blown away with (probably everyone else) at Jones moving from forward to backline. I’d be shocked if anyone didn’t think he’d become a sensational intercept mark and spoiler. His kicking was hit and miss. I’m disappointed he’s left us early. But he’s been a sensational blue. I disagree with his reasons as a health care worker but wish him all the best. Goodluck to Liam.
Yep, it’s bad. Apparently partly being driven by weirdo evangelical churches, at least in western NSW.
Although in fairness to indigenous communities, a distrust in government structures or intervention would be rather understandable.
Like "we've historically had bad health outcomes so we won't accept this current health proposal"
Certainly did. He has looked really good in a few games I have seen. Just needs a consistent run at it I a defensive roll not being thrown around and used as a ruck. This opportunity now affords him that.

Was really hoping we could work something out
At least he showed personal integrity even though it has a big cost to himself and the team.

The boys are showing him plenty of love on social media, including Doc.
Well that retirement just about sums up Liams career. Never knew what was coming next!!
Wish him well in retirement.
Surely Carlton strongly approaches the AFL for some form of compensation. Not sure what we ask for but it sounds like he has retired for an ethical/cultural reason based on a new AFL rule (mandatory vaccination).
We must go hard as these are unprecedented times.

Glad they have more compassion and common sense than some in here.
Think the compo from the afl will be the middle finger kind
