I thought the afl brought in a 6 month payout clause for clubs sacking coaches. Or was that only clubs receiving afl assistance?

It applies for all contracts signed from 2020 is my understanding. Think Simpson's pre-dates that.

EDIT: Just checked the wording - my above comment is wrong. The new guideline mandates a maximum six-month settlement to any sacked coach at an AFL-funded (or in debt) club regardless of the length of his contract as per the 2nd part of your comment. West Coast are obviously not in that group.

Not if they wear the brown shorts, no.

Watching AFL 360, are my eyes deceiving me? But I can't see Rusell Ebert's banner on the wall at the Hall of Fame?

's glasses was brilliant!!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Interesting stuff. And highlights why coach contracts (and extensions) need more careful scrutiny.

Although I had to laugh at the rubberiness of Tom Browne's calculations.

He admits that he is only guessing at the salary payments (and terms) remaining on Simpson's contract but nevertheless uses it ($2.5m) as the base number to which he then applies the 200% luxury tax($4.5m) should WCE terminate Simpson's contract - coming up with that staggering $7m figure that becomes 'the story'.

The 200% multiplier is the key figure here. And where I reckon the focus should have been rather than a made up guestimate of Simpson's Salary. But they can't help themselves I guess.

What is saving Simpson of course is just how rich the West Coast Eagles are and how much they underpin the finances of their owner - the WA Football Commission. Rest assured that if a an AFL owned team like Gold Coast or Port or an AFL financially dependent team like St Kilda put in a string of performances like West Coast have under his coaching he would have been gone on Monday morning, regardless of the headline payout figure.

It also makes a bit more senses why the club said they wouldnt sack Hinkley last year.

If we had to pay him out $1m the tax would be $1.6m not $2m and there would be a heavier tax rate applied at each tax bracket for year 2 and 3 if we also break the footy ops cap the next couple of years after we sacked Hinkley.

Graham Cornes who is a selector said South Australians will be induced. Plural.

We know Bruce gets a gig in media section Richard Goyder announced it in March at the AFL AGM.

Whately said a South Aussie from a centary ago also goes in. Pretty sure that is North and state ruckman Tom Leahy. Won the Magarey in 1913 and was a dominate ruck in state games especially carnivals. If they had All Oz sides selectted at national carnivals before 1953 he would have made a couple from all I have read over the years.

Rucci and North Adelaide have had a 25 year campaign to get him in.

Edit knew he played about 30 state games, its 31 according to his wiki page but forgot he played 58 games for Westies to go with 111 for North.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Whateley also said a rare ocassion of premiership teammates get inducted tonight.

Sam Mitchell has just been announced. With the 5 year retired rule I dont think that means Hodge is eligible. Surely its not Lewis or Roughead. Must be a couple of other players.

Are they EVER going to induct Timmy Evans?

 

[Portmagpies36]

Geez Jimmy Bartel is boring, also got to see some not so wonderful highlights from the 2007 Grand Final massacre (boy did we have some average players in that side)

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Jimmy Bartel in. Maybe its one of his premiership teammates who also gets in.

 

[Grave Danger]

I know Dipper has been unwell of late, but is Bruce still alive? Hard to tell from this pic.

Well he does have chronic leukaemia

Just wanna say I think Ben Keays ripping off Mason Cox's glasses was brilliant!!

Yeah great stuff. Maybe next week he can tip a disabled man out of his wheelchair.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Tom Leahy got inducted as I suspected.

Nick Riewoldt accepted his nomination, but because he is living in USA with his family won't officially be inducted until next year's ceremony.

 

[Visenfest]

Lol how is the "ben keays incident" him shitting his own dacks and not him ripping the eye wear off another player

First one was the Ben Keays Accident, second one was the Ben Keays Incident.

One day. He is the last of the 1000 goalkickers from the big 3 state leagues who hasnt been inducted. Think he had a falling out with Port so we might not be pushing too hard.

When was this?

 

[JimmyBC]

Corey Enright the Port Maggie that got away.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

When was this?

Think about 15 years ago. He hasnt been seen at club functions for a long time. He wasnt at the 150th Gala Dinner in February 2020.
