What right do you have to their salaries?
Should they be able to compel you to divulge your salary?

To be blunt, none of them are public servants on taxpayers money so we have no right to that information. Rightly the AFLPA will guard that vigorously.
Most exec salaries are public.

The reason being that it is considered relevant information to shareholders and/or members.

The AFL isn't any different. I think there's absolutely a case that members of footy clubs should know the salaries of players.

While SEN’s Sam Edmund reported that the league won’t reveal how the investigation played out...

The fact that the AFL's PR team can't even spin it speaks volumes. I don't think I have ever seen the AFL stay silent at the conclusion of an investigation. They're hoping it just goes away. Luckily we are here to hold Geelong to account.

Are you serious? AFL footballers are not senior executives. Is it not enough that we know (a) the total value of a Club's salary cap, (b) salary bands and numbers of players in each band? What business is it if Player X is on $425,000 and Player Y is only on $350K? So Player X's manager negotiated a slightly better deal. Individual salaries are private and confidential. The club's total spend is not.
 
Bomber Thompson ate sandwiches during matches. Chris Scott is doing deals for his second job on his laptop in the coaches box while a match is being played!!!!

They are senior and key employees of an organisation.

Their salaries directly impact the direction and potential success of the organisation.

As a member, transparency around key decisions like a player's salary isn't unreasonable.

I'm not 100% for it or against it, TBH I couldn't really give a shit. But it's definitely not outrageous for a club to disclose player's salaries to paying members.

Just because they earn good money does not make them "senior executives". Start listing player salaries and you will start a salary war with disgruntled players wanting more.

In what professions do all individual salaries get disclosed?

There is no case that imo has any credible reasons as to why they should be released to the public.

You dont think players (through their managers) know what each other are on???

I read somewhere there are about 100 player managers in the AFL. Do you think they share confidential player deals with each other? Even if they did its not out in the public.

Well seeing as 67% of AFL players are managed by the top 6 agencies, and many of these agents move between each agency, I'd imagine everyone within that profession would have a very good idea what players are earning and what their worth should be. So a meeting between an agent and a player would go along the lines of player x is on this much so on your next contract we think we can get you y.

Lol of course you think that
List a credible reason then.

They're not a government employee on our dime.

Should I be able to demand your name, photo and salary from your job be in the paper or on the airwaves?
