Basically pay for any future health cover or surgeries that they need post retirement

Wouldn't those types of schemes be part of the AFLPA?
I’m not sure. Surely we could come up with a superior level of coverage however.
I don’t think u can just agree to give players sums of money after they retire, there must be salary cap rules that prevent that or there would be anarchy.

The CFC already has a scheme that provides support to former players.
www.collingwoodfc.com.au
I am not sure if there is criteria that is applied to determine levels of coverage and financial support....?
Didn't Eddie step up and provide additional financial support to Len Thomson enabling a medical procedure to occur? I wonder if this has occurred before and we are just not aware of the situation...??
I am not sure if supporters can donate directly to "The Murray Weideman Past Player Welfare Fund"?
I can not see why supporters would be stopped from contributing to this "Fund" as long as the basis of the fund, who is responsible for the Fund within the CFC, how it is managed / audited / funds invested etc is published of the CFC website and is a line item in the AGM.
If we as a club can cover all out of pocket medical / counselling expenses, this would be a peace of mind to former & current players, another reason for current AFL players to join the Pies and another benefit in being drafted by The Pies.

Fine vein of form.
Loving the Jamie boy.

13 goals in the past 3 games. Not too shabby.

Elliott's goals will keep flowing. He is back to where he belongs. He's always played his best footy leading from the goal square. But I think Nick may have the Copeland covered.
What’s this about? Looks like some random internet/social media crap.

It's Jamie telling us he's been ill. Didn't seem to effect him on gameday though.

Thought he was done and dusted a few years ago when he was dealing with the back injury. So happy for him.
Also, that hand off to Adams was one of the best things I’ve seen on a footy field.

What a man.
He's one of the guys everyone loves. Quiet but a killer.
