AFL announce equalisation policy
Thought this would interest most;
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-06-04/a ... nce-policy
The new competitive balance measures consist of six key elements:
1. Move toward a ‘pure’ salary cap – phase out Cost of Living Allowance and Veterans Allowance by 2017 to move toward a more equitable salary cap for all Clubs; replace the current Cost of Living Allowance for the Sydney Swans and GWS Giants with a rental subsidy for each player on below average player payments. The rental subsidy to be paid direct to players by the AFL;
2. Increase payments to players – affordable increases in payments to players;
3. Greater control on football cost growth – curb industry football cost inflation through the introduction of a soft cap on non-player football expenditure. Clubs can continue to spend what they like on their football departments, but any spend over the soft cap will be subject to a luxury tax;
4. Enhanced revenue sharing – augment the existing Gate Levy by adjusting existing AFL Club distributions based on a measure of relative Club income for years 2015 and 2016; the reduction in AFL Club distributions to some clubs will be capped at $500,000 in 2015 and 2016 – but note Clubs retain all revenue they generate themselves;
5. Continue Supplemental / Discretionary funds – compensate smaller clubs for structural inequities – allocate uncommitted Club Future Fund monies to smaller Clubs;
6. Stronger accountability and performance management – help smaller Clubs which benefit from increased distributions from the AFL to improve performance, grow revenues and to be accountable for delivering on key targets.

I assume Etihad will be a separate issue above and beyond these measures.borderbarry wrote:Wh8at happens to our stadium deal, which has been killing us for years?

Luxury tax works reasonably well in the NBA, though there it's applied to player salaries rather than other off-field costs.Superstar wrote:3.

40K and we'd actually be being paid, rather than paying the stadium.
It's like a parallel universe in Eddieworld.

Re: AFL announce equalisation policy
Would be a bad move to scrap the veterans allowance.
Would force ageing superstars into premature retirement.
Won't be popular with the fans.
Clubs will be poorer for the loss of experience and leadership.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Seriously, summers, Gordon, brayshaw & co need to hit the media about this, the gall to complain about a poor time slot, fair dinkum.

is.You have to admire to his audacity, but it’s nothing more than whingeing from the Collingwood president.
But because Collingwood contributes strongly to the outrageously handsome media rights — because all clubs want to play Collingwood, because Collingwood draws huge crowds and because McGuire believes it is the Collingwood Football League — he believes his club was victimised last night.
Try asking the poor-supporting clubs about their unhealthy fixtures. It happens to them every second week.
Collingwood doesn’t even know what a burial shift
