The article doesn’t say whether the new guidelines will be retrospective? (Ie: are we entitled to apply for salary cap relief for Murphy?)

I assume ‘last week’ means prior to the Dreamons game because whatever pump up he used against North did not work.
Surely for the duration of his current contract?The article doesn’t say whether the new guidelines will be retrospective? (Ie: are we entitled to apply for salary cap relief for Murphy?)

Yeah good call.LOL, I’ve given up on ‘surely’ anything with the AFL.

It’s staggering that the AFL couldn’t foresee this and have something in place for this already.
Well we haven’t finished paying him, so does it even need to be retrospective?

By ‘staggering’ I of course mean ‘in line with expectation’.

His partner is Charlie as well. Torn between ‘naawwww’ and barfing
I hope they have lots of babies - all born early on GF Day - it's an omen apparently....For the sake of simplicity, if they ever get married I hope she keeps her name
On field or off field?It's great to see Swanny get the honour he so richly deserves.
The comments from MM are illuminating.

HH has a lot to live up to wearing 36, but, so far he's made a pretty good fist of it.
It would be hard to match Swanny's off field exploits, but on field, who knows.On field or off field?

There were plenty of concerns after their 0-3 start, but when all of those stats came out about 0-3 teams rarely contending for a premiership, the unwritten part was “but if they only lose one of their next 11 games, they’ll be fine”. Lo and behold, the Magpies have lost just once since Round 2, and last week’s scare against North Melbourne aside are pretty clearly a premiership contender once more. It helps when you’ve got seven of your last nine games at home, though there are no easybeats on this fixture (even the Tigers are tougher than the ladder suggests), and the two away trips are bloody difficult - the Suns are unbeaten at home, and the Swans are the Swans. We still favour Craig McRae’s men to clinch a top-four spot and they’ll be hoping to get into that 2nd vs 3rd qualifying final (which could be at the MCG even if they’re not ‘hosting’ it) so they have the best chance possible at a home prelim (and to avoid Sydney in said game). A Carlton-Collingwood qualifying final, with the winner maybe facing Essendon in a prelim, might break the MCG...PLAYERCARDSTARTCraig Mcrae
