I cant understand the anti vax viewpoint but I do admire his conviction to do what he believes is right, regardless of financial loss.
indeed ...Interesting decision.
i know a couple of anti - vaxxers and they bang on about Choice and Coercion yet are happy to work with required permits, drive a car with rego and a license, pay bills, carry passports, carry a mobile, vote, use banks, etc etc etc ...

So, let me get this straight. GCS delist Greenwood, who had 2 years to run on his contract and presumably got paid out, with a promise to redraft him as a rookie. This was all to allow them “more flexibility” with list management.
North, ever the big game hunter, swoop in and sign Greenwood to their primary list for 2 years.
Net result is GCS loose a player they wanted to keep while paying him out for the next two years. North finally land their “big fish”. Greenwood somehow gets 4 years worth of player salary for only the next two years of service.
Is that correct?

I don't think that Greenwood got paid out, so he's only getting paid for the next two years by North, not by both GCS and North.
AFL site said he had two years to run on his current contract at GCS. I’m no expect but I’m fairly sure if you delist a player you have to pay them out whatever remains on the contract. You only negotiate if they are retiring before their contract ends.
Even at base wage, GCS just paid Greenwood $300k+ to go play for North.
Agree, except if GCS were struggling to make minimum TPP. Greenwood’s entire payout would go under this year cap. Would explain why Greenwood agreed to the move in the first place. He gets two years salary up front plus an extra year at least on rookie $.
Or, and this is probably more likely given their history, GCS just *smile* up.
The “unwritten agreement” is for development players. The thinking is that a club has already put two years development into a junior and they want to move him onto the rookie list to continue that development. They leave these guys alone because it might be them next year. Hence the agreement- what goes around comes around.
On which planet would Greenwood be considered a development player?
Gold Coast are already rorting the draft this year. They have traded most of their picks into next year, keeping only pick 3 because the AFL is allowing them to just list any players from Queensland and NT without bothering with the draft.
How much more do they want for free?

clash of the titans ....Might be no love lost between GCS & Norf. First clash next year might be interesting viewing
I reckon pesky lolnorf are starting to the rock the boat and *smile* a few clubs off.
No love lost and when they finally climb the ladder with some decent players and have their own salary cap issues, watch as the other clubs rip into them, lol won’t be lol then.
GC were at peak salary cap, hence moving on Peter Wright last year and Will Brodie this year (though both were not best 22, which is exactly the type to dump)
I,d guess that GC and Greenwood mutually agreed to change in contract, similar to what we did with Cotch and Jack.
For Greenwood instead of 1 contract of 4 years, it could be 2 contracts of 2 years each, 2020-2021 and 2022-2023. So he is now officially off-contract and could be delisted, but had a new contract waiting.
In theory he gets the same money over the same duration.
No need to pay out his original contract
*of course North screwed theory
I like to take a look at our Under 23 team each year.
The top table is those under 23 at the start of December 2020 and then the 2nd is those under 23 as at the 1st of December 2021. Red is they are not in the Under 23 team any longer due to age, red with strikethrough is they are no longer on the list, and blue are our new draftees.
Its a pretty healthy looking team the bottom one. IMO big upgrades on those we have cut bar CCJ who we probably knew we weren't going to be able to replace this year with a like for like tall forward, it would have resulted in a massive reach unless we got JVR at 17.
Gibcus > Garthwaite
Brown > Egg
Banks vs Naish - we sure hope he will be better
Clarke and Sonsie have replaced players of different types.
When you look at that bottom table and we already have Balta and Bolton that are easily in our best 22, and we got plenty of games out of Mansell, RCD, Ralhp-Smith, Stack, Dow and Ross last year (and hopefully they take that next step forward this year) then the future looks bright with some of the other guys coming through.

Banks only needs to win contested ball and hes better already.
