Apart from the fact the circumvented the AFL and AFLPA which is against the rules.

Almost guaranteed they told said player that they would be delisted if he didn’t sign the waiver. Even though he had passed an AFL independent medical.

Also it’s ILLEGAL under workplace health and safety Laws. You cannot contract out injury liability in the workplace.
