Yes.
You are basing your argument on how the AFL has written their conditions not on whether the same fair and equitable rule applies to each and every individual player

Doesn't seem fair, does it?
If you can't afford to take a 9 year risk on a player then don't take the risk.
Simples.
Hawthorn would have matched and squeezed you for everything Buddy was worth but there is no way we are going to match a nine year deal. That is absolutely in the realms of stupidity.
It isn't about longevity of a deal. Its about any retiring player is treated equally regarding salary cap.
If you buy a car with a 10 year loan but you can't drive after 5 years any more the bank doesn't just say "oh don't worry about all that money you owe us that's fine".Doesn't seem fair, does it?
Seriously, I'd like to see the league put either a 5- or 7-year limit on contract length, and not allow multi-year contracts to extend past the year a player turns 33. Would still allow clubs to make big long-term offers, but also saves them from themselves a bit with ridiculous sums to be paid to blokes who might not even be playing, through either age or injury.
That would meant that either way, a player like Coniglio (born 1993) could be offered a maximum 7-year deal at the end of this year, as he turns 33 in 2026.
The issue is whether all future salaries for players are treated fairly and the same under the salary cap. The status of the player is irrelevant to that.

You are completing missing the point mate. The reason the AFL implemented that rule was to stop clubs offering stupid long term contracts that neither the club or player have any intention of seeing out, just to stop the original club from being able to match. If they didn't players would all sign 15 year deals to get around the 'restricted' part of their free agency status, and then do up a new realistic contract once they were officially on the club list they wanted to be.It isn't about longevity of a deal.

If he's doing that then why isn't he playing?So when he was at training this week at Moore Park kicking them from 50 and running at full tilt it was all part of the charade to retire?
Retirements happen. Factor that into your decision making and don't offer a ridiculous nine year deal.
The risk wasn't taken into consideration. Now face the consequences.
Tough t***ies. It's the price you pay for getting one of the GOATs for free.
So your mate was cooked at the party and bud said he was retiring.
That right?

You're still very bitter.He asked about going to Sydney instead of GWS after the 2012 grand final.
Also, GWS is still in Sydney. He 100% chose the Swans to chase immediate success.
You lost me when I read that you are a Swan supporter so stop posting crap.This is how the story goes. There were a few people at this joint, some had definitely powdered their noses on the good stuff, Buddy had stated to this person that he is feeling like his body is definitely fried, doubts moving forward if he's nearly cooked. It actually ain't a rumour, it's fact. I cannot name people as they are close to his group.
At the very most, id say he's got one left. Especially the way Longmire persists in playing him out of the square as a high half forward.
Hopefully next year, Longmire comes to his senses and plays him in the square.
Highly doubtful, considering Longmires plan A involves Buddy as a high half forward
And he has no plan B!,
I have no idea why any Hawks fan would be bitter? They won a couple more flags without the Budwah.You're still very bitter.
I'm loving it.
Bud will keep playing & he loves our club.

What's that matter that I created an account 2 days ago? Does that give me more credibility? I'm legit mate, not chasing glory on a website. Happy to give my number out I'll say it straight to your ear on the phoneHard to believe a poster that created an account 2 days ago, doesn't have any legitimate sources and only has 9 posts to his name.
More than a little suss. Bud has an ego the size of Sydney, he won't give up a chance at 300 games/1,000 goals or another million or two.

Mate I'm dead serious. The same source also told me this one as well. Said take it to the bank.Because it seems that you created an account solely to spread this news, lol. Of course we'll see what happens at the end of the year, and I'll come back and apologize if it turns out to be true, but I don't hold much confidence based on the aforementioned.
