    Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 25, last 28th August)

    What's the question!? There's no rule. When I was around, most players had smaller contracts as they reached the end of their career. There are exceptions though. One player I remember took cuts throughout his career to keep the team together, and then got paid very well in the twilight of his...

    Traded Jack Lukosius - Joins Port Adelaide as part of a 3-way trade with Collingwood and Gold Coast

    Might be dependant on GC still paying some of his salary next year.

    List Mgmt. 2023 List Management and Trading (Part 2)

    I don't know if the rules have changed in the past couple of years, but you used to be able to 'bank' TPP underspend from the past three years. So going into 2024 for example, we'd be able to use any cap underspend from 2021, 2022 and 2023. The restriction was that you could only go 5% over the...

    List Mgmt. 2023 List Management and Trading

    The AFL releases a list across the whole league to show how many players are in each band. Ie 3 players on $1m plus, 5 players between $900k - $1m etc. They don't break it down by club. Not enough info to narrow it down to individual players (by design).

    I agree with your thoughts generally regarding the AFL, however the TPP department within the AFL is siloed from the rest of the organisation and is tight lipped and trust worthy.

    Take these articles with a huge grain of salt. They're 90% guesswork by AFL journos. Most that i've been able to cross check in the past have been laughably wrong. Teams spend a lot of time and effort trying to work this type of thing out, trying to work out what a rival team's salary cap...

    List Mgmt. 2023 List Management and Trading

    Not these days. I found working in the AFL system to be a bit 'too much of a good thing' and it tended to kill my enjoyment of the game a little. Supporting a different club than the one you're working for is very common. Probably only a third of employees grew up supporting the club. This was...

    List Mgmt. 2023 List Management and Trading

    At various points of the season, before the draft, before the season etc. Clubs submit a detailed salary estimate to the AFL to show that they'll be under the cap. It's basically a spreadsheet where you enter in all of your players, their base salaries, and an estimate of the number of games...

    List Mgmt. 2023 List Management and Trading

    A player's salary is made up of all sorts of incentives, and changes week by week depending on the amount of games they play and other milestones they hit. Even the club paying the salary doesn't know what the player's total salary will be for the year until well after the season has finished...

    I used to do the salary cap for a Vic based club. They aren't getting any special treatment when it comes to cap space.

    Traded Izak Rankine traded to Adelaide with #46 & F4 (Freo) for #5, F3 & F4

    Funny, I used to work in an AFL Club's finance department. One of my duties was signing as witness on player contracts. Funnily enough, I (or anyone else at the Club) never had to sign a NDA. What role are you in that you have a NDA?

    News Brad Crouch decision (ADL chickenshit, decline to match, receive 23)

    No, the players have a mandated break from organised training. You can tell that none of the players are wearing official gear.

    News Brad Crouch to Saints (STK make offer; Band 3, ADL to match?)

    Every player would quickly have crazy unachievable incentives included in their contacts for no other reason than free agency compensation. Every player would receive band 1 compensation

    News Brad Crouch to Saints (STK make offer; Band 3, ADL to match?)

    Too easily exploited. Player earns $400k base + incentive of $600k if he kicks more than 150 goals in a season. Under your scenario, the compo would be calculated on $1m a season.
