‘Remarkable’: Magpies praised for generous $1m act to aid medically retired star

Collingwood is reportedly making a “ remarkable financial gesture ” to medically retired premiership defender Nathan Murphy .

Watch every game of every round this Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?Collingwood’s quiet decision to extend Murphy’s contract by a year “Basically, they didn’t want him to say ‘OK, I haven’t got enough money, if I play on, maybe I’ll be able to buy a house or a property or a business as well’. They did it aware that one concussion was likely to end his career.”Ralph shared his thoughts on the situation, reading between the lines.

“ will be paid in full to that contract. But I just think under Craig Kelly and under Craig McRae and Jeff Browne, this is a club that’s trying to look after its players in a way that it didn’t through the ‘Do Better’ ,” Ralph claimed.“I think it’s a fantastic gesture by this club, and thankfully he’s been medically retired, so that will potentially be outside the salary cap if a ruling is made by the AFL.
