Which rule prevents a player having the option to terminate early at certain point/s? I only see one which prevents one party having the right to extend.

Yes, right you are. I just read that reference again.

Yes, you are correct, it does refer solely to extension. But in saying that, any agreement that enables a party to unilaterally terminate at the sole discretion of one party is arguably not an agreement at all.

It seems that the purpose of that clause, which referred Snake to, is to preclude inclusion of options which would otherwise be permissible outside of AFL environment. But the general rules of contract would prevent a unilateral option to terminate at mere discretion of one party.

 

[HBF]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how productive have you been at work today?

0
Didn't work today.

 

[HBF]

Jon Ralph has just said that all 3 will get to Carlton.

 

[Thurlo]

So we are going talk ourselves into thinking, Gaff is a possibility for a few days then?

I am starting to talk myself into thinking if I throw a little money to the side each week I can book a 10-day overseas holiday trip to somewhere with no phone reception during Trade Periods and save my mental health.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Dicko pretty much just gave us the 2020 cup. Big fan of us....

Gaff, Grundy and Caldwell?

I have always like the Mark Twain quote..
“Out of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.”

 

[Funk]

Pretty long bow to draw.

IMHO you are being very harsh on Gaff who has had an exemplary 9 year career - then made 1 mistake.

I really have no comprehension how any reasonable person could make such a harsh moral judgement on a person who made 1 terrible spur of the moment decision in 9 years.

Frankly I think your comment is ridiculous.

 

[Burgers45]

That must be your favourate gif Aph, quite a funny and appropriate one.

Sorry can't take Ralphy seriously.

Just waiting confirmation from Tom Browne.

One of my favourites Burgers.

Is Eddie back yet?

Too soon for..

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Could someone please change the urine cakes? Its getting a little wofty in here.

Keep up sheesh.

There's always people that throw stones in glass houses

 

[BluesPres]

So you’d pay 2 first rounders for Gaff ?

No, wouldn’t need to. Where have I said I would?

He’s not worth 2 first rounders. I’m merely saying what elite players are there that would be worth 2020 and 2021 1st rounders?

 

[ESKIE]

So not much harpooning ?

I doubt this conversation is interesting to most but why do you think a unilateral option to terminate offends against the general rules of contract? There are termination for convenience clauses in many contracts. They depend on the wording of the clause but I doubt that's going to be an issue here.

My comment was directed at the fella who said West Coast would want 2 first rounders for Gaff to let him go....
My reply was that we should go to market next year with 2 firsts next year rather than spending two firsts on Gaff...sorry for the confusion

What, the incredibly harsh moral judgement of "Meh, not much of a Gaff fan myself"?

Frankly I think you getting offended by my comment is ridiculous, but each to their own.
