Nah they're paying him out in full

It isn’t all included in their cap though*

*i think

Anyway they forced him out because he is poo poo relative to how much cap space he was occupying.

It is all included in their cap, it's just less because there's no match payments or other bonuses

Wasn't Sinclair's best year when he was carrying the ruck load solo? He might be a Stef Martin type who needs the responsibility.

"ENGLISH Premier League-style short-term player loans could be introduced this year as the AFL continues its push for a mid-season player movement period."

No, please don't model anything after the premier league.

I'm torn about this.

You could argue that it gives less teams a guaranteed finals spot (from 8 down to 6), which rewards better performance. The flipside argument is that it rewards mediocrity by expanding the amount of teams who qualify to make 'finals' (8 up to 10). More teams will now qualify for finals than those who miss out, which is stupid.

Caroline Wilson wins two Walkleys for reporting on the Essendon Drug Scandal.

Sam Newman wins a Walkley for ... umm ... just telling it like it is, y'know? He also talked about HIV once.

I'm sure a proud and serious organisation like the Walkley Foundation would see the obvious merit here.

It is stupid and kind of makes that last home-and-away round a wash if the middling teams get a second chance, but it's preferable to 17/5 though (they probably still want to do that too).

EDIT: Oh Garry Lyon said this OK (takes with grain of salt)

Good win from the Crows, keeps faint hopes alive. One legged Phillips still decisive.

quote:

Sam Newman looked to be back to his old tricks, taking aim at Herald Sun columnist Susie O’Brien with a series of derogatory remarks.

Newman’s barbs included “I am keeping her in business, I reckon she wishes I would chat her up” and “I don’t think she has ever got to worry about the #MeToo movement because I don’t think that will ever visit her”.

How is he still allowed to be on the air anyway
