Nations to compete for Cup and cash

Smusic.

Have to agree a bit, Demetriou could give each of the 18 teams a thou out of his own salary and he wouldn't even notice it gone.

A bit like you and me giving them a dollar each I reckon!

As I've been saying for a while now, I think the commitment is clearly steadily improving, but the AFL can't just act independently of what the clubs and players and fans want, as we're seeing with the great player salary debate. The players want a whole lot more, the AFL says that will come from clubs, the players say no, take it from other areas, which to me is code for game development, which is what has made the sport so strong in recent years. So for me, I think the AFL is on the right track hence we're not particularly critical. But happy to hear fans saying they want to see more.

As for AD's pay packet, I'm philosophically opposed to any CEO getting big bonuses. Forgive my diversion here...

My idea of a good bonus for outstanding work would be 5% - I'd certainly appreciate that at the end of a year. But we seem to see across business bonuses of 100% or 200%. In fact I'm philosophically opposed to percentages in general. The cleaner does a vital job that no one else wants to do and gets paid $30k and gets a pay rise of 3% which is a measly $900 but the big exec gets say 20% of $400k which is $80k, more than the cleaner gets paid in total! Even if the exec only got 3% it's still $12k, which is over a third of the cleaner's pay. Ah well it will all come crashing down one day. End of diversion!
