[gadj1976]

I'd like to retire and still get paid the following year after my retirement - how good is that (for him)?

Fair chance he was asked to retire and they could upgrade a rookie? Otherwise why would he get paid? List lodgement isn’t yet

[Lightning McQueen]

Sounds like Vickery has put the cue in the rack... only 5 seasons too late. We've dodged a bullet there, at least we don't have to pay him to stink it up at Box Hill.

Do you think there's a behind closed doors deal being done in light of the extortion arrest a few months ago?

Surely Hawthorn would've had grounds to sack him, I think they've agreed to part ways and not draw attention to it all as court proceedings have just commenced.

[Brodlach]

Cannot sack him if he wasn’t a part of it

Probably both agreed he wasn’t part of the clubs future and cane to an agreement. He could stay and get the full amount or travel with his wife and get half. Know what I would do

Wasn't he arrested too?

Or has he been cleared?

[Brodlach]

Just questioned I thought

You are right, Vickery's charge's have been dropped since.

Doesnt matter about list lodgement, yeah i think it frees up a rookie spot. As others have said it would be an agreed settlement. The full amount s contr is included in Hawthorns salary cap so cant be used on other players. It is the exact same situation as what the AFL said about Buddys 9 year contract at Sydney, if he decides to retire after 6 years the Swans have to carry his salary for the last 3 years of his contract on their books, that is the massive risk Sydney took. Imagine if he quit after his "mental health " problems, sydney would be buggered for years although im sure the AFL would come to the rescue and change the rules

That's a slur, an ordinary one at that.

[daysofourlives]

If you think it was mental health carry on in your little bubble.
Was no different to all his other 6 week "calf" injuries

[Booney]

Nice.

[Booney]

Anyway, Hawks will be paying Vickery around $500,000 next year.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Paying him to tour the world watching his Mrs in WTA

[Brodlach]

Anyway, Hawks will be paying Vickery around $500,000 next year.

Two years wage equates to $166,666 per AFL game he played. Nice coin
