maybe this is why CC said its better for Danger and Sloane to wait to sign their deals. Wonder who the player who made the personal enquiry was, of the out of contract players Danger would be one of the highest profile to make it relevant for.

Also relevant to the discussion had by some before on what accountants can do for a player.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-02-11/players-tax-win

AFL PLAYERS have won a significant tax break in future contracts after the Australian Tax Office ruled that a player is able to licence his image rights to a third party.

The ruling will allow players to have a percentage of their contract income paid to a private company or trust for the use of their image rights, taxed at a companies and trusts level that is lower than the highest personal tax rate of 49 per cent.

AFL.com.au understands that the percentage allocated, which is capped at 30 per cent, will continue to be counted as football payments for the purposes of AFL rules and total player payments.

The AFLPA told agents on Tuesday of the development, which has been given impetus by a player seeking a private ruling from the Australian Tax Office while negotiating a new contract.

The AFLPA has been working on getting an outcome on player image rights for players for several years.

For a player to be eligible he must demonstrate the valuation of his image is commercially justifiable, and the arrangement will need to be documented in two contracts – the standard playing contract and the player image rights contract.

To determine the amount a player can apportion to image rights, a formula involving elements such as best and fairest placings, All Australian selections, draft position and his age has been developed.

The arrangements will not apply to contracts for first- and second-year players, rookies and players on minimum CBA payments.
Ha ha, what an anti-climax would it be if the hold up in signing Sloaney and Danger was all related to a Private Tax Ruling.

Admittedly they are far better than BT's
Yeah Russell never came up with anything as bad as "boy oh boy, wowee". I nearly puked when I heard that.

If you're watching on a Saturday night with mates, and a few beers, BT can be quite amusing.
This pretty much sums up BT. You have to be pissed to tolerate him.

Russell isn't that bad. We are very sensitive it seems.
Oh come on. He sucks. He's certainly not on BT's level of suckage but this doesn't absolve him of being one of the suckiest commentators who ever sucked.

"And it's Mon-frees in the pocket." :oops:
His commentating for Eddie's GOTY contender was the most cringeworthy thing I've ever heard. "Look at me, I'm Eddie Betts, I can do that, because I'm Eddie Betts" or some such rubbish. Ugh.

This clip was quite good, he loves calling Eddie.....Oh to keep on topic he loves danger too and hopes he re-signs!

I love BT. Nothing wrong at all wrong with his call and excitement.

EDIT - IF that was PETRENKO that would have been kicked into Eddie's pocket his shot on goal.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I actually found his report on the Gary Glitter trial a bit disturbing..."Boy oh boy, wowee he said look at me, I'm Gary Glitter and I can download that"

I do agree your first post was definitely cringe-worthy, but the comments in the second one I don think they are its just bringing some excitement to the game.

I know there are better ones out there but I dont particularly mind the above comments. First post, yes I cringe just reading that.

I think its the repetition thats annoying. You get all of the above multiple times, every. single. game.

Yeah I can understand that, because he does repeat phrases fairly regularly. Mind you though, there are some awfully dull or one sided games, so when a game is exciting and thrilling I think its a sweet job to be calling it. Imagine calling a Freo v Melbourne game, there is nothing but defense to each style of play.

And his favourite, 'that's why they bought him', used whenever wantfrees or white get within 20 feet of the pill, let alone touch it.

BT and Russell are gimmicky rubbish. McLachlan's lisp is irritating. Matty Campbell is dull. Even Dennis Commetti's shtick is wearing a little thin lately.
Bruce is still number 1 for me, then Huddo who we don't hear enough of on free to air.

But...it's better than the days of shockers like Don Scott, Drew Morphett and the WOAT -Peter McKenna!!!
