Maher would play two more AFL games late in 1999 but could not regain his form and was delisted after not playing an AFL game in 2000. [1]

Maher continued his playing career in the WAFL with Perth, captaining the club in 2001 and 2002, before retiring at the end of the 2006 season.

In 2008 and 2009 Maher was the reserves coach at the Perth Football Club in the WAFL.
