Your properly right but Too many people are highlighting it now..
Not sure shiit for brains can ignore it.
Especially when the player mentions he was paid outside the cap
If you’re referring to Beams and his final contract being paid outside the salary cap - there was an article about it in yesterday’s HS
Mick Warner was on the case last night.
Asking why the AFL aren't looking into it.
I suspect the AFL were already party to the deal. "We'll do nothing but you must dump some players."
That's nothing! If you listened to 3LO this morning, this week's edition of Outside Football has a free 116 page lift-out devoted to Nathan's coaching career. One page to each win. Much better value than that Murdoch publication many on here rely upon.
What are they now? 774?Lyon is a great coach at getting the best out of a list, but not a coach for a rebuild IMO
Yep and won what 2 in 20 games.....
How many for Figgy nearly 500 playing and coaching.

I’m not inside, it’s a perception based on what we see and hear from the outside.
- last years trade fiasco which Buckley would’ve had a say in
- the lack of passion his players play with
- the problems his team mates had with him during his playing career
- his dour, defence-first tactical outlook and his refusal to let his troops play to their strengths
This is just off the top of my head, I am perfectly happy with my assessment of him. Hardwick is even on record as saying the human factor is something he had to rediscover in the summer of 2016-17. Some coaches just never find it and it is clearly apparent Buckley is one of them.

Interesting that the AFL has made no comment on such a serious accusation.
On 3aw today, caro basically confirmed that the AFL approved this. If this is true, then there has to be an independent investigation into all at the AFL and the corruption that seems to ooze out of that cesspit
Gilligan and Shocking continuing Demestos dirty work that underpins the AFLs sickening culture. Both habitual lying campaigners that have swept more things under the carpet than the Trump administration.
Heard Shocking on radio today. When asked the question about Beams’ comments, he didnt answer specifically. He did say that every player contract is checked over by the AFL. Not sure if it was him or the commentator but the question raised was how would Beams know if the contract was paid out outside the salary cap. When shocking conversation had ended the commentator made a comment like ‘I’d really like to know whether it was or wasnt paid outside the cap”.
Taking the "I hate Collingwood and the AFL" cap off, if there is a provision where a contract is paid out because a player is suffering mental illness, is it bad if the AFL have made a provision that doesn't penalise the club involved?
I don't know the ins and outs of the Beams case, but if it was genuine mental illness, I can understand the payout being excluded from the cap.
It may open up other possibilities but you'd need to think that there is a case to be made where a club isn't penalised too much when a player's career comes to an abrupt end mid-contract.
Regardless though, it needs to be transparent and a stated policy, not some secret side deal.

Why would a mental illness be treated differently to a physical injury? Easier to rort too.
Me thinks that something really stinks here. Hopefully the truth comes out.
