Another re-signing... Woodside until 2027.


(Couldn't decide where best placed to post, feel free to move)

Great move

AFL clubs over east rely on gamblers to keep them afloat. Freo don't have that luxury. Woodside are a big financial backing and have helped fund Freo's ambitions to be a club with some if the best facilities in the AFL

It’s a little bit more complicated than that. I’m not a huge fan of the whataboutism of “well other clubs do worse things so” but I acknowledge the point.

I also acknowledge that Woodside or their money has allowed for many positive programs both in the club and the wider community. I’m also not suggesting that we drop Woodside immediately as that’s simply not practical.

I just think it’s important to look out for sportswashing and to keep holding Woodside to account and not just give them a free pass because they support our Dockers.
 
Would love to know what tax strategies they employ. $1.7m up front sounds great on paper but not when you’re giving a ridiculous chunk of that to Uncle Albo.
Why is it Uncle Albo and not just the Federal Govt? I'm pretty sure income tax is unilateral across political parties..

Clubs definitely do worse things than Freo

I have zero issues with Woodside unlike some people out there.

Much prefer companies like Chevron or Woodside, rather than Mineral Resources who seemingly gaslight themselves into thinking they're amazing, yet lying directly to your face with confused looks on their faces as to why you're calling them liars.

Next time I have to hear some silly oblong head from that company bleat on about how good they are I swear.
 
We can't build a clean future, without the resources currently at our disposal.

As long as we keep them focused on moving into the future, or look for other opportunities when they present.
 
Professionals have income averaging

So 1.7 one year and 500k the next gets averaged

It's a bit more technical obviously but yeah
The top tax bracket is 45% of every dollar over 190K. Therefore as long as the spreading out has the minimum year above that they aren't saving any tax unless rules change, just paying it at different times. It is hard to move earnings or get extra deductions when you are a professional athlete that everyone knows about.

I think he'll end up the richest athlete ever from Australia. A catb rookie ain't gonna cut it

Are you talking track and field athlete? Or general athlete? Even if he becomes a 100/200m gold medallist, there would be a number of people that I doubt he gets anywhere near from golf, tennis, NBA, F1, soccer. Mailata in NFL. Greg Norman is worth US$400 million. Dwarfs what Usain Bolt would be worth.

Usian is doing OK with 90 mil US worth...Way better than any footy player...

Gout Gout is rapid. Toys with the kids his age.

There are only like 6 men in history that have run a quicker back 100 than he did in the 200 the other day.

TLDR: Cat B that man (when he turns 18).
If we wanted a fast kid who couldn’t play footy we could just trade for Petruccelle.
