Tugwell by name Tug very well by reputation.

Well, if you're gonna do something.

 

[tribey]

McClelland trophy should be limited to the Mens comp and the prize for winning it should be like that $1Mill.

We don't put anywhere near the value we should on a first place finish. It's not as great at proving you can beat everyone on the biggest stage of finals, but it is a massive achievement in its own right and our 4x1st places finishes should be held in higher regard.

The prizemoney for winning the flag also needs a huge boost.

$1,200,000 for the flag winning club in 2024 is laughable.

Should be $10,000,000 at absolute minimum.

I'd be fine with having a separate award for the minor premiership in each. **** give it $500k to each if they really want. At least that would go to two sides that have achieved something (the best regular season).

The idea that you can sum the two together using creative accounting by making 11 AFLW games each equal to exactly double each of the 23 men's games is the sort of insanely stupid thing that could only be thought up in a bush league run by morons.

Enough to make even Koch sit up and take notice?

 

[bomberclifford]

Am I meant to know who any of these fat bogans are?

Yes. It's going to be huge.

 

[JimmyBC]

Tugwell is an unfortunate surname

 

[Del80659]

what a heinous group of sub-human filth

It's an easy way of knowing what names to avoid.

They offered the gig to Mark Aiston first, but he wanted to maintain his integrity.

He probably wanted to do it but they couldn't fit all those people in his car for the recording

 

[Willsy10]

Who's stupid idea was it to combine the AFL and AFLW for the McClelland Trophy? What a joke.

 

[VineValerian]

Lol Jack Hudson

Who is Valley Flaxman?
Does he live somewhere near Eden Valley?

 

[Festerz]

Yes. It's going to be huge.

To be expected with someone called Tugwell involved. But probably be over pretty quickly.

All jerking aside, I can't see how they'll have a lot to discuss after the Crows' inevitable bid on a F/S or Academy player and nabbing Sid the Curtain Maker with their first pick.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Am I meant to know who any of these fat bogans are?

Jack Hudson is a Port man and a “writer” for something called The Inner Sanctum, but he’ll degrade himself to no end just to prove himself to his precious Crows followers on Twitter.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Him pandering to Crows fans on Twitter while mentioning 119 every thirteen seconds remains the worst thing about that platform.

He is an insult.

 

[Festerz]

Who is Valley Flaxman?
Does he live somewhere near Eden Valley?

No I don't think he is a winemaker of Flaxman wines fame.

Half that is for the club, half for the players, and outside the salary cap.

This is what the NFL pay - to the players. Given a team has a roster of 53 players in 2024 that was potentially $8.692 mil and in 2025 $9.063 mil, just for the Super Bowl win.

Here's what the winners and losers of Super Bowl 58 will get paid

Spoiler: Nobody is going to need to borrow gas money on the way home.

Disney World is swell and those rings are the height of athletic bling, but for NFL athletes, the Super Bowl is also about a nice pay bonus.

Sure, the glory is the big draw, and having the Vince Lombardi Trophy greet you every day when you come in next season is nearly as nice. But every player that took the field in Super Bowl LVIII will be rewarded financially by the league. The amount per player will depend on a variety of factors, though.

How much will the winners of the Super Bowl LVIII get paid?​

The latest collective bargaining agreement between the NFL Players Association and the NFL dictates that each member of the winning team will receive $164,000, a $7,000 bump over last year’s total. Winners of the 2025 Super Bowl will receive $171,000.

How much will the losers of the Super Bowl LVIII get paid?​

Losing stinks—and the what-ifs and could-have-beens in the postseason can be agonizing. But the $89,000 losing players receive might make that a little easier to deal with. Next year’s losing team will see payments of $96,000 per player.

Does every player get paid the same amount?​

No. It all comes down to their length of time in the league and their roster status. Some players could receive only half of the amounts above. Here’s how it breaks down.

Players get a full bonus if…

• They’ve played at least three previous games during the regular season or playoffs and are on the team’s active or inactive list when the Super Bowl is played.
• They’ve played at least eight previous games (regular or postseason), regardless of whether they’re on the active/inactive list or not.
• They’re a veteran player who was injured during the regular season, but are still under contract.

Players get 50% of the bonus if…

• They’ve played fewer than three previous games during the regular season or playoffs and are on the team’s active or inactive list when the Super Bowl is played.
• They’re not on the active/inactive list, but played between three and seven games during the regular season or playoffs.
• They’re a first-year player who was injured during the regular season, but are still under contract.

The following article gives a more comprehensive breakdown of how much players get paid for each play off game, both winning and losing teams, and it confirms the monies come from the NFL not the individual teams.

So like in the AFL these finals payments are outside the cap. However AFL clubs pay each player match payments, not the AFL, during finals. If the player(s) have fixed contracts then they get paid the minimum senior match fee that apply to players after their first two years automatic contract post being drafted. The bonuses for where you finish in the finals are split 50% club and 50% players and these bonuses over and above match payments are also outside the cap.

Agent's Take: An inside look at playoff pay and how several QBs can benefit from winning the Super Bowl

Breaking down the financial benefits of advancing in the postseason

www.cbssports.com

Players are paid much differently in the playoffs than during the regular season. A majority of players take a sizable pay cut in the playoffs because their salaries have no bearing on what they make during the postseason. Playoff money comes from a league pool instead of from NFL teams. There is a specific amount for each playoff round where each eligible player gets paid the same.

Can't find how much the team owners get paid for winning the Super Bowl, but looks like its some sort of % of this League Pool mentioned above, as the only thing I found was;

How much do NFL owners make for winning the Super Bowl? Inside league's payouts

The Super Bowl is the peak of Professional American football. Winning it is a major highlight for everyone involved. It takes a lot to win the big game, and NFL owners know that.

www.sportskeeda.com

According to Equity Atlas, a Super Bowl-winning owner can expect to earn about $30 million from the NFL. Furthermore, winning the Super Bowl is known to boost a franchise's overall value significantly.

’s new role with Morris Finance and the implications on Geelong’s soft cap.

After the fact lol.

Either this crossed their desk and they allowed it, or their governance process is a shambles. Likely both.

Scott addressed the arrangement with 7NEWS last week when Cleary directly asked the 48-year-old what would he say to people who suggested it was a way to save money in the AFL’s soft cap.
....
Scott said the arrangement had been ticked off between the management, the club and the AFL.

“You obviously wouldn’t go into something unless you were crystal clear on how it was all supposed to work.”

If it was $10,000,000, the VFL would never let a "interstate" club win again...

said in an interview the AFL had signed off on it. Do they not know what they are doing or is he just assuming that they agreed because it's Geelong?
