Just seen that Dell’Olio has kicked 3 last quarter goals to win his ammo’s side a flag. Came back from 5 goals down in the last. Joe the goose, Joe the goose, uncontested mark 20m out directly infront.

Just messaged a mate in Perth who’s response was ‘he doesn’t even go back a long way off the mark when he takes set shots because he’d have to move too far’.

It's just so good. Especially when you consider how bad every single other modern song is. They absolutely nailed it, everything about it is perfect. The tune, the eastern European Cossack feel, the big big sound, everything
get on the mitsis and put the remix on

 
Also Brodie Grundy is not a meme

The cat empire wrote it, it’s a cracker
Harry James Angus from Cat Empire, but yes, best in the league and he did a great job. He wanted it to be able to sound great recorded and sung by a bunch of out of tune young men like a classic footy club song.

He nailed it.

Sounds positive, but it's strange to see the AFLW salary under this increase, will still be less than the average salary in Australia.

Surely they can do better than that.

As they bring more value their pay will increase.
Don't see too much issue with it?

The average persons salary in Australia is not more than $87k a year, the 'average' is extremely skewed thanks to high income earners.


Slightly older article, but the principle is the same:

Mean: $63,882
Median: $48,381

Yeah I'm referring to average, not median or mode. According to the ABS it's just under $90k now.
 
That's a bit of an outdated view, if the AFL genuinely is looking for equality.

Not really,
In any pay negotiation the parties have to come to an agreement on the value that the playing group represents. Especially if there is a lopsided value being brought by another party and the agreement is being done as a group.

They got a substantial increase as well as 12 month contracts, as they bring in more revenue they will be able to lay claim to a greater share of that pie and other benefits.

It's a really simple equation.
They got their increase, probably greater than their actual value because they negotiated combining men's and women's and as that revenue builds they can get rewarded more.

What would you propose they were paid?


Edit -
As an aside I think as there would be a limited money pool to be allocated to the AFLW, a smarter and better way of spending it is on the grassroots, pathways and facilities whilst still bringing the average pay up competitively, not pumping up the pay packets alone to show how "equal" we can be.

I guess it comes down to whether you think a first year rookie on an AFL list is of more value than the best paid players in the AFLW.

I think the minimum wage should be the same across both comps at the very least.

Pro rata for games played, training commitment etc.
