Haselby laying the boot in. As I understand it you can't make up the medical advice to suit yourself. If they're going to be available before the end of the year they're available which is frustrating but the club can't do anything about that. Just another cursed event in our cursed year.
I assume Caro did.
If I were the clubs, the rich ones in particular - I would collectively make a formal request that the AFL indemnify the clubs against any future claims in negligence or other CoA, where soft cap restrictions are a contributory factor.
If anything it will give the AFL's risk management team something to think about.
For example, what happens when an overworked coach suffers a nervous breakdown and sues the club? Or if an under resourced and exhausted medical department ends a career early?
At a minimum I reckon you could get the medical/s&c teams taken out of the soft cap.

Caroline Wilson.
I heard a discussion about this on the radio (some ABC grandstand show with a couple of journos). They claimed the AFL had a philosophical issue with how much coaches were being paid and used COVID as a way to try and drive the cost down.
Club shuts players down for the season when they could have played the last 5-6 games...media response - "tHaTs TaNkInG!"
Club refused to shut players down and plans to bring them back for the last 5-6 games instead of taking another speculative rookie pick in MSD...media response - "WhAt ArE tHeY dOiNg, ThAtS pOoR lIsT mAnAgEmEnT"
Hase you flipping peanut, please stop talking...

Apparently the mid season draft doesn’t generate juicy enough headlines, so we need a mid season trade period.
Because the number one concern is the generation of headlines. Not the integrity of the competition.

Unsurprisingly the big thing the West got out of the game was not remonstrating DeGoey

Harmes got a week for his ‘hit’ on Friday night. Consistency would suggest DeGoey one week minimum - but then it is AFL tribunal lottery on display again.

He did stomp on a blokes head and leave him with a brain injury so this really shouldn't change any long standing opinions of him.
DeGoey will get 3… maybe 4 if they feel like making an example.
Had Hewitt played on he gets 1 week.

Have you seen his twitter posts most of them a very tongue in cheek, don’t get to down about it mate.
Consistency?
Harmes got charged with medium impact.
DeGoey will be hit with severe.
He'll be lucky to get 3.
