Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
So we're hoping for another season ending injury in the preseason?He doesn’t need to be out for the season though, as long as there is someone to place on the inactive list, then you’re ok.
Not how it works. Once on the Inactive List, you're there for the season, barring exceptional circumstances that need to be approved by the AFL. To my knowledge, this has never been done.He doesn’t need to be out for the season though, as long as there is someone to place on the inactive list, then you’re ok.
I thought it out had to be an 11 week injury.Not how it works. Once on the Inactive List, you're there for the season, barring exceptional circumstances that need to be approved by the AFL. To my knowledge, this has never been done.

F***ing Brad Lloyd. Like Soapy said, what a mess he's made with fringe player contracts.I’ve seen enough of Fogerty and Binns to know they’re not good enough. They’re contracted, but I’d pay them out.
L Young and Boyd also contracted. Young is break glass in case of emergency case. Boyd is better than he’s been given the chance to be, but he’s on the outer so we may as well pay him out too.
Nah. Where the hell would you play him? Not a need, would be a great get for our reserves, but would have too many in front of him for any senior consideration.Will Philips, come on down?
If you’re getting delisted from North you can’t be travelling too well …Will Philips, come on down?
On the surface I'd agree however a bit of a deeper look is that Phillips is a 1 dimensional handball first mid where North's young mids are a lot better than their ladder position. Given Phillips isn't as good as them & can't play anywhere else unfortunately for him his cards are stampedIf you’re getting delisted from North you can’t be travelling too well …
Some of his highlights looked greatNah. Where the hell would you play him? Not a need, would be a great get for our reserves, but would have too many in front of him for any senior consideration.
I do think he has had a raw deal at Norf. Going back a couple of years, showed enough in his cameos to suggest he had an AFL career.
A few players have failed to come on at the Kangas despite showing more than enough potential on the big stage.

You are right generally speaking but for 2026 we will have plenty of unused cap space, so if there was ever a time to do it it’s now.You do realise that when you pay out contracts early that it is included in the cap - so this approach would effectively mean allocated DOUBLE the cap space allocated to a group of fringe and non players?
That’s the perfect way to piss off those who actually deserve bigger contracts.
Yes the contracts are bad but you don’t fix one problem by creating another one - that would be extreme negligence.
Are you saying we are getting Cox?Carlton FC is officially on notice.
If we play songs after goals starting with Hayward and Florent I’m done.
Carlton FC supporters officially on notice.
If any of you chant USA I’ll hunt you down.
I remember at the start of Ball Magnets when it was a joint enterprise between Crippa, Tom Mitchell and Lachie Neale (I think now it's just Mitchell?) and they had one of those social media q and a things and were asked about who enjoys a beer the most and basically the answer was they are all likely to be best on ground on any given night on the beers.The posters potting Walsh for enjoying a pot or two in the off season are beyond ridiculous.
He's the most fastidious, driven player on our list. That he recognises the importance of switching off and having some balance at appropriate times is both a good and mature thing.

I don’t have a rule to go off but I’ve never seen a poster reference what you have said there.Not how it works. Once on the Inactive List, you're there for the season, barring exceptional circumstances that need to be approved by the AFL. To my knowledge, this has never been done.
Big if trueSurely worth a rookie deal just to give us 12 months of double entendre's![]()
No, just a long term injury to a player before HOF can return.So we're hoping for another season ending injury in the preseason?
No current season stats available

Not saying you’re not right but it seems off.
I did a quick ChatGPT search.
Long term injury list is stated as injuries over 8 weeks and can be replaced via SSP or MSD
Inactive list, for season ending injuries and removal from this list at AFL discretion.
So you were bang on with the inactive list but it appears you can have players on the long term injury list.
"They" say that a lot these days. Next year is always the super draft.Next years draft is supposed to be loaded.. I have no idea, but this is what 'they' are saying... If this is the case and we dont make the 8, should we consider letting Walsh go to free agency and taking the compo. Would give us 3 1st round picks.
