Why is it such a secret? How many and how much do the Northern club players get paid by the AFL?
I'm all for promoting the game and expansion to build AFL into a national sport. However, the disclosure of this ensures integrity of the game.

I'd like to see all payments outside the cap, including this, third party deals etc be published.
It's an easy fix, just give every club a certain amount of cap free 'ambassador' money, then it's fair for all.
What's the solution then?You trust the clubs to do the work, smarten up !

It is very easy to see how Buddy has promoted the game in Sydney by his mentions in all sorts of media & across codes in sport.
There is no such equivalent in the heartland States.
Reality on transparency is the AFLPA are happy for the players to keep it quiet.
My frustrations are things like the "Player X received $5M from a large land deal outside Point Y....."
How did the player get this ?? Did he purchase it ?? Or was it a donation from a wealthy benefactor connected to the club ?? If it was the latter, should this be included in the cap ?? I think everyone knows there is rorting going on - but no one wants to mention it....
It's a fine line between players being provided with investment opportunities and rorting, especially where players are given interests in joint ventures and the like for what is arguably below market value. Who decides what's market value in these situations?
