Correct. From....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFL_salary_cap
The salary cap, known officially as Total Player Payments, is A$9,130,000 for the 2013 season with a salary floor of $8,673,500
The veterans list rules allow $112,320 (source:
http://www.afl.com.au/afl-hq/the-afl-ex ... an-players) per player with over 10 years of service to be paid outside of the cap.
Our potential eligible veterans in 2013 - Hayes, Milne, Blake, Kosi, Riwewoldt, Montagna, Dal Santo
Hence assuming that we paid a basic of 100% of the cap our max spend on TPP would have been $9.13m + $112,320 x 7 = 9,916,240 which equates to 108.6% of the TPP.*
In other words if we shift from a max TPP payment to a minimum one, the difference would be equivalent to $13.6% of the TPP or $1.24m.
*Also NB that this does not include nominated rookie payments or ASAs (additional service arrangements - though I don't know exactly how this works so can;t do the maths on these.
Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...
