How do AFL players get paid?

[Deaneus!]

Does anyone know how AFL players get paid?

What I mean is when I work, I get paid my salary every two weeks.

Contractors get paid at the end of their jobs.

How do AFL players get paid?

Lump sum? A base amount then monthly throughout the year? Fortnightly over the course of their contract?

Also would they have tax taken out for them or would they have to do it themselves?

Would love an up to date answer on this

Pretty sure it's still monthly

 

[BIRDBRAIN]

For normal clubs, monthly. For St.Kilda, school girls and dwarves. At Carlton you get paid companies and brown bags full of cash. At West Coast, icing sugar.

When I opened this thread I expected jokes about the Melbourne Storm, Yacht's and home renovations--- then realised it was started in 2003.

Depends on the performance.

Bad = chicken poo dumped outside punt road
Good = Bags and bags of West coast and Geelong salt on Big footy.

Would've though bank transfer. I think it is paid quarterly.

 

[spudmaster]

For GWS players, via ambassadorial payments.

The reason Greg moved to the US was so he could perfect his choking technique against real players.

There's no separate tax bracket for sportsmen. If they pay more tax than Joe Citizen it's because their income is higher.

There used to be a 5 year averaging provision. Think there might have been one for farmers as well.

Match payments are $5000 per game for AFL paid twice through the year collectively for how many games played in that period

Then salary is monthly

Then salary is monthly

So they get a salary plus a bonus for each game played?

Is that match payment fair dinkum? A player who plays the whole home and away season takes home their salary plus $110k? Sounds like way too much.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Monthly. Base salary split over 12 months. Any match payments / bonuses etc paid on top for that month just gone.

Split between base salary and everything else depends on your contract.

Not everyone gets match payments, mainly just rookies and depth players.

The figure came straight from Brian Cook's mouth

 

[Macpotata]

25 percent in Cocaine
25 percent in Hookers
25 percent in cash
25 percent in Fantales

 

[Andrew Mc]

For Essendon, I assume they inject the funds.

 

[Wayne Dwop]

In the old days of VFL, Footscray carried a sheet around the perimeter of the now Whitten Oval and people would throw money into it. Player payments would come from there less a small amount for the Hyde Street Boys Band.

 

[Chief]

25 percent in Cocaine
25 percent in Hookers
25 percent in cash
25 percent in Fantales

The remaining 25 percent is paid in maths lessons.

Bring this back!

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Bring this back!

Would be a pretty epic way to introduce performance-based payment. Crowd decides how much goes in the sheet

 

[lollol]

Id suggest:
Bitcoin, doge coin, etherium
Gold, silver, platinum bullion
Random Cash Brown paper bag give aways just under 10k.
1 dollar luxury car leases.
1 dollar penthouse apartment rentals.
"free" yachts.
3rd party agreements

Oh.... you mean within the cap?
