I saw this is another thread and though it would be interesting to go over our own list and see what we come up with

This is the 2010 AFL salary cap scale which ranks players and a pay packet accordibng to their importnace of the team, this is of course not how it's done but it does provide up an insight on how overpaid some players would be and how much better off we would be if they were not around.

Now Haselby has signed on for a $300,000 contract recently, which according to this scale would place him at the 7th best player category. Hiowever as we know from 2 years ago Pavlich signed on for more than $2 millioon (around $670,000 a year) which will affect our Payments.



An example below

Total Cap $7,962,500

Anyway, this ius a very rough outline, I would have spent more time looking up past articles about contract signings but i am running out of time and need to head off to class, feel free to tinker with it as you feel as by just looking over it, there are some pretty big mistakes alrweady that I can see

It would be sad to see how much our middle tier dumb arse brigade are being paid, and then comparing it to how much our 1st and 2nd year players are being paid.
 
just repeating what my source told me. 200k isn't that much, he probably signed the contract in what, 2006 or 07?

200k isn't that much???? What, for training a couple of hours a day and then playing once a week?

The world's gone mad.
 
That's essentially the problem with the bottom limit on the salary cap. Hacks get paid easy wages.


Just imagine hacks in NFL/EPL get paid a shiteload more than the likes of Ablett/Judd/Pavlich......... Insane the amount of money some professional sportsman get :)

Isn't EPL an open market? No upper caps or lower caps?

The perverse situation with salary caps in the AFL is that Pavlich gets paid below his true market value, while someone like Peake gets paid above his market value. The upper limit is responsible for the former, the lower limit is responsible for the latter. I don't think that would happen in the EPL.
 
Peake would get paid more without a cap, everyone would. Pav is just the most effected because his market value is probably around 1.5 million a year so he loses more under the current system (in theory)

This ignores simply economic theory. A salary cap combined with tight barriers to entry (drafting) creates a dislocated market where the best are underpaid and the also-rans are (relatively) overpaid.

It is deliberate market manipulation. The AFL deliberately seeks a form of socialism whereby the strong fail to allow the poor an opportunity, thereby making the league more diverse. None of this is new.

your also assuming that someone could come off the street and be a better player than someone like Schammer. Sure it helps the also rans like Campbell and even Peake, but every guy above WAFL level is basically getting screwed.

Bit harsh. These guys are in the top 1% of footballers in the country. There would be hundreds of professions where if you're that good you get paid that well.

Training a couple of hours a day......:o
