Booney wrote:TWO POWER PLAYERS – Logan Austin and Cam O’Shea – have undergone post-season surgery, joining four others currently in rehabilitation following in-season operations.
Scans revealed an ankle fracture for Austin suffered in the Power’s final game against Gold Coast
He will be fit to return to running within six weeks.
O’Shea has undergone hip surgery and will be back on track within a month.
Previous surgeries include Chad Wingard, who has already returned to the track as part of his rehabilitation program, hip surgery to Jack Hombsch and knee surgeries to Dougal Howard (ACL) and Alipate Carlile (PCL).
Port Adelaide’s high performance manager Darren Burgess said the majority of players would return to full training when the Power's pre-season resumes.
“One of the positives is that we’ve only had two surgeries at the end of the season and all but Dougal Howard should be back in full training when we resume in November,” Burgess said.
“Logan will spend about six weeks in rehab before he can be back running again.”
Austin – ankle – 6 weeks to return to running O’Shea – hip – 4 weeks to return to running Wingard – finger – returned to running Hombsch – Hip – running in 3 weeks Howard – ACL – running in 3 weeks Carlile – PCL – running in 2 weeks
In response to Goddy's question, this post came from Big Footy. An extract from the AFL collective bargaining agreement (not sure if this is the latest version of the CBA though):
17. Termination Payment
(a) An AFL Club shall be entitled to apply to the AFL to delete a Player’s name from its List and by written notice to the Player in accordance with the Player’s Standard Playing Contract, terminate the contract upon the Player being delisted. In such case, the Player’s Standard Playing Contract shall be at an end provided that the AFL Club shall pay the Player by way of compensation:
(i) the balance of the base payment payable for the year in which the Player was delisted;
(ii) Match payments calculated at the rate applicable to the relevant competition (AFL Senior or State Body equivalent) in which the Player last played, for the balance of the year in which the Player was delisted;
(iii) where the Player’s Standard Playing Contract had one or more further years to run, the base payment for each year following the year in which the Player was delisted; and
(iv) where the Player’s Standard Playing Contract had one or more further years to run, a further number of Match payments calculated at the rate applicable to the relevant competition in which the Player last played (in total not to exceed 22).
The obligation on the AFL Club to pay further base payments for the years following delisting shall apply only in the case where a delisted Player had one or more years under his Standard Playing Contract to run. In all cases where a Player was delisted in the final year of his Standard Playing Contract, the Player shall be entitled to the balance of the base payment for the year in which he was delisted together with Match payments for Matches played for that year calculated at the rate applicable to the relevant competition (AFL or State Body) in which the Player last played with the AFL Club.
(b) The payments due to a Player under items 17(a)(iii) and 17(a)(iv) of this Schedule C shall, unless otherwise agreed between the Player and the AFL Club, be paid as follows:
(i) a monthly instalment of the base payment on 30th November in the year the Player was delisted;
(ii) in the event that the Player is not drafted by another AFL Club in the National or Pre-Season Draft held in the year the Player was delisted: 79
Amended 17 February 2015
(A) the balance of the base payment due to the Player within seven (7) days of the date of the Pre-Season Draft;
(B) the amount (if any) due under item 17(a)(iv), within seven (7) days of the date of the Pre-Season Draft.
(c) Where a Player is drafted by another AFL Club any outstanding payments due to the Player under items 17(a)(iii) and 17(a)(iv) of this Schedule C shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of item 18 of this Schedule C.
(d) Subject to item 18 of this Schedule C, in the calculation of the payment of termination benefits set out above, no account shall be taken of any further amount or amounts which the Player may receive as a consequence of re-employment by another AFL Club or any other Australian Football club.
(e) The provisions of this item shall not apply to a Player:
(i) who, by his agreement, is involved in a pre-Draft transfer between AFL Clubs which results in a transfer and such Player being listed with the transferee Club;
(ii) who has retired;
(iii) whose contract was terminated as a result of serious or repeated misconduct by the Player; or
(iv) who has agreed in writing with his AFL Club to otherwise terminate his contract.
Nothing in this item 17(e) shall be construed as preventing a Player from negotiating and reaching agreement with an AFL Club on a termination payment from the transferor Club.

I was questioning thinking of Buddy Franklins multi year contract and does the burden of payment impact the clubs salary cap for any outstanding years.
I'm pretty sure Buddy's contract has a clause noting that should bud retire and not be paid his full contract amount, the money would still need to be accounted for in the Swans salary cap.

Agree, but at best you will get a 2nd rounder for Broadbent, the others a 4th round, Id hold Amon for another 12 months, if he continues to improve, offload him then for a good pick.

2nd rounder for Broadbent and we send it to the GC for the one we owe them,
Pittard, DBJ, and Bonner play as the running/small defenders. Works.
