Can't believe people think Gill is overpaid. Not sure they know what would actually be required from the CEO of the AFL and the hours and stress associated with the role.

200x more?Plenty of jobs going around where women earn more than men - in some cases many times more
Probably200x more?
Caro's Arrow? I hear Fat Ed is off to the boxing in Adelaide, bit of a snub.
The pay Gil gets is fine by me, BUT the job he is doing leaves me cold - cant sort out the Docklands deal for the tenant clubs for season 2017, he cant be fair dinkum.
As for the ongoing player pay deal, Gil is bringing the game into disrepute when Pendles comes out making the sort of silly comment about a 'sit down', not the full quid IMHO.
The AFL admin is a joke.
OP is right, women's league pay is sexist. They should be able to earn the same as the men for the same job. And by that I mean nothing.
I have watched the women's league and can confirm that I am a much better footballer than most of them. Yet they get a televised comp with decent pay for 8 games work. While I have to pay $600 a year to sit on the bench in vafa d4 reserves just because I am a man.

Well, apparently Foxtel ponied up more cash for the AFL adding an extra game each week. At the moment they get the AFLW for free.
I cant imagine a time when the winning bidder ever pays extra for the AFLW. It will always been the BOGOF.
I'm going tonight but I doubt I'll go again. I think they could expect 10,000 easily tonight but once the novelty is gone it'll drop very quickly. I don't think tonight gives any indication
That's ONE reason for pay, not the only. Div 4 ammos doesn't pay because ammos aren't allowed (higher levels find a way around), he's most likely not getting what he's worth (I know blokes in div 4 ammos who are now being paid since they left). Most other bottom leagues payYou get paid based on demand for your skills, not the skills themselves. If you are sitting on the bench in D4 amateurs, it's because no one wants your skills. You are getting what you are worth
The AFL wants a women's national comp, and needs female footballer's. They are in demand, and therefore of value.
Comparing their skills to male skills is an utter red herring.

Not an unexpected response.
The league will have barely recieved the paperwork regarding the deals currently in play - they only got the stadium in November, and what with Christmas and new year and everything else. They've still got a deal to work out with the state government. They'll have to do financial modelling and a range of other things before they can even offer a deal to the clubs. Hence mid year at best - which is what was reported in December.
As for the ongoing player deal, it was already reported that the AFLs chief legal and financial people attended a meeting with the AFLPA before christmas, but the AFLPA got their knickers in a twist because the league CEO himself wasnt there. The AFL isnt ignorning them.
Would you expect AFLW to get any/many new subscribers for Foxtel?

Maybe 8.
The hyperbole is greatGil is a parasite, does nothing for the game except rapes it
They are armatures.
The hyperbole is great
How do you rape something without making a decision? Accidental rape? He fell over and raped it?What tough decisions has he made? He is easily the weakest one we've had in that position
Based on tonights crowd, perhaps those blokes whose wives wouldn't let them get Foxtel might now.
