2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion Part 2

[CrowsB4hoes]

Both are hugely overpaid on a per year basis in and extracted long deals too.

Yes but would have been paid more per year if on a shorter deal. That’s the point.

So Leith Forrest will be working alongside Rowie for the fiveaa sports show as he can panel operate.
Bickley had his final day on Friday but will still be doing special comments for the footy.

It's not a discount unless it's a discount. Sloane is getting more than his value and a long term, we're overpaying in $ and term, it's just a degree of shitness.

Not opening what have they done.

 

[hey shorty]

They were going to withhold 9% of the players wages for the month

Why?

 

[Geoffa32]

The AFL pay the players salaries how can they even think they could do that?

It looks like they've done what Joe Public might do which is just look at the headline and run with that. Then they've applied that flawed premise to the last payment of this year maybe. Or is November the first payment of next year's contract period? Either way, it looks clear that each player needs to be looked at individually.

What's really poor is that any accountant worth their salt could get copies of the 45 contracts and apply the AFL rules to each in about half a day.

November is the first month of the new contract year.

And I agree.

Wow. Is that just massive cost cutting?
The show will basically be Rowe with the occasional bit from Leith.

Got that'll be horrible listening

yep. The fall will be swift.

We already had precious little sports radio that's worth listening to in this town.

Is there any?

5AA is horrible. 90% is ads for funeral homes...oh and caravans

Jars and Bernie is even worse. Two morons.

TripleM Melbourne is the bottom of the barrel. Nothing but some complete tossers carrying on like they're in high school. It's utterly pathetic.

SEN. Well, imagine listening to that crap. Rucci? The 5 minute fireman? Purple? God no.

We need sports pirate radio

So is this from the AFL.

AFL creates '18 Collingwoods' telling clubs to back end contracts

Irate AFL clubs have warned there will be “18 Collingwoods” forced into back-ending contracts to get under the reduced salary cap next year.

www.theage.com.au

“The advice from the AFL is to just back-end contracts to get under the cap. Fine. We will have 18 Collingwoods next year with everyone forced to push the problem down the road,” said one list manager who wanted to remain anonymous.

“We have worked for years to get our cap under control and keep it under control – as have other clubs – and the AFL advice is to blow it up again.
“We traded in good faith for draft picks that we may not be able to use because they announced these cuts after the trade period and the reality is we may not be able to bring in as many players.”
The AFL has told clubs that a player cutting their salary by 8.5 per cent next year can recoup 5 per cent of that cut the following year when the salary cap is hoped to normalise back to the pre-COVID levels.
One list manager said it was misleading to say reduced list sizes off-set the size of the salary cap cut.
While the reduced salary cap is spread among fewer players the clubs say it is only the lowest-paid players who were cut from lists and so the clubs’ players wage bill only reduced by about $80,000 per player.

The league has mandated new draftee’s wages will be cut by 10 per cent.

Welcome Jye.... have we got a deal for you.

Leith is alright from memory. Surely if they were interested in keeping Bicks he'd have learned how to run the board. His conflict as a paid employee was magnified in such a shit year especially with Rowie being so prone to emotional outburst. I reckon AA wouldn't see any financial value in cowtowing to the club as well.

Classic AFL

Gil making the hard decisions again... not.

This will catch up some clubs.

I'm glad we are in rebuild mode at this time as we should remain comfortably within thr smaller cap then pick up some Pies like freebies in a couple of years when we are looking to make finals again... as this will catch up with some clubs.
