I can only assume this was an arrangement the club came up with to pay out his contract?

I suspect the suspect knee had a big say in it, as well as drafting tactics.

I read somewhere that doing it this way (delisting then rookie listing him) achieves 2 things ;-
Only 50% of his salary gets into our Salary Capas he's retiring through injury
The AFL pay out half his salary as he's retiring through injury.

If either/both of these are correct then I say it's a great piece of list management by the Club.

If that is true great work accountants.

we take an academy boy then...
Cole?

[BadRossco]

Might be a better option to keep a spot open for the mid season draft as neither Cole or Peckett maybe what we need.

[Yorkeys]

We need fs and academy products, they strengthen the fabic of clubs.
But merit trumps quotas.
Let's see how they develop, I'm sure the club will keep a kindly eye on their progress.
They may be a bit unlucky as we have as strong a list as there has been for a long time.
