2 years in a row that gawns tried to get his couch back, but no one’s prepared to pay up for him. At this point Gawn should put his couch out for hard rubbish collection with clarry still on it.

for pick 8 I’d give Battle an invite to the B&F delivered by a Hogwart’s owl and let him sit in a throne at the front

I thought that regardless of whether he walks away from the money or not, it's counted in next years cap.

Wasn't that the crux of the Buddy deal to Syd?

Maybe its changed since then (thought i saw this posted in a thread somewhere?)

Even medically retired players had to apply to AFL for special treatment in this regard.

If a player decides they don’t want to play anymore, surely they don’t get paid? I guess the Tom Boyd situation would be a very close precedent, and IIRC he walked away from a lot of money.

The AFL for all their faults are reasonable. If a player simply decides they want to walk away from their contract, the remaining $$$ surely wouldn’t get counted in the salary cap. Of course the AFL would need to investigate and understand the specific circumstances to ensure the system isn’t being rorted …

…. but it’s not as if Joe is some overpaid spud who has been offered a $$$ gig by a sponsor to give up AFL to sit at a desk.

The bloke moved to NSW and commutes 2 hours one way to training some days, doesn’t even own a tv. Mad respect to him.

Dunno why “Doesn’t even own a TV” would even be a thing. It’s very normal these days.

Must have been exciting news for the Dees supporters

Not sure how Pert keeps getting these big gigs

Perty’s big mouth strikes again apparently

But l thought that Melbourne had the best culture that Perty had seen in his 40 years in the industry. Obviously culture doesn't refer to opening your big mouth.
