Swines --- "different markets have different costs of living"



Yes, I, like the AFL, feel sorry for the poor young 18-22 year old successful AFL draftees who get an opportunity to live in and enjoy Sydney, yes a 1hour flight away from their mummies and daddies , and then even worse they have to do it on wages...wait for it.... Below $300,000 per year

I mean, those poor young men. Some of em wouldn't have turned 21 and yet only be on like $220,000 a year and in expensive Sydney they're expected to pay their own rent and food and entertainment with that?

Thanks to God the AFL are so kind and understanding. Those poor younguns' be starving on the streets!!!

Why not they undertake to go anywhere if drafted, why shouldnt they be compensated. They have no control where and who they play for after all.

The Difference with the Storm and Parramatta

was Strom happened at the start of the season>> was clear cut as day they had 2 books over by 2 million etc etc.>>
in 2006-2009 seasons..

With Parramatta it was a lot different>> you had members of the board taking the NRL to court.
which dragged out for the next 10 weeks.

long story short>> NRL won the battle and Parramatta Sacked the whole Board>

compensated?

An 18-21 year old on income of 200gs needs compensation? Because they're going to.... Sydney? Sydney? The most popular, picturesque, wealthy, educated city in the entire nation? a city with beaches and weather that equal the worlds best?

Omg swines, you've said some silly things but common now. It's not like they're being shunted to some outback town in the middle of nowhere! And it's not like these boys are on the poverty line

Head honchos have gotten together down at AFL hq and it's gone pretty much like this:

AFL CEO: 'we need Sydney succeeding in the comp,the market is just way too lucrative. ...

Senior AFL Exec 1:.. but how do we make it happen without it looking like we are unfairly giving swans and gdubbya a leg up and thus compromising the entire comp?

Senior AFL exec 2: don't they all say Sydney is expensive? we could say we need to give each and every player who earns less than say 300k a bonus of 15k so they can pay the rent better

AFL CEO: you fukkin genius! I mean rents way cheap in greater western Sydney compared to Melbs but we sweep that under the carpet alright? We sweep that shit under the carpet and watch the Sydney market grow and grow and GROOOOOWW!

AFL junior female staffer/minute taker: ummm but what about the fans? Don't they deserve that all teams are provided with an equal salary cup? so that the competition is even?

AFL senior exec 2(supervisor of junior staffer) ahh listen here we didn't hire you to talk, we hired you for the eye candy so shut ur pretty mouth and keep writing those minutes! And why don't you wear something... a little...shall I say more alluring tmw will ya sugar lips? I don't wanna see my staffer dropping out of the top ten fuckable employees now do i? (Puts his arm around junior staffer)

AFL CEO (whilst chuckling at junior staffer): he's right lil chickadee those lips aren't for talking ... if ya know what I mean ok thanks guys, we will make it out that he players need extra money in order to live above the poverty line in an expensive city like Sydney. meeting closed. You're all dismissed. Ahh junior staffer? You can stay back with me for a bit ok?

Lol KE
It's funny .
But only because it's not far from the truth .

& swines
Can't you fucking read .
It says
The cost-of-living allowance that affords the two Sydney-based clubs an extra 9.8 per cent worth of salary cap room will be phased out - in the Swans' case over 2015 and 2016 - with all existing contracts, including Lance Franklin's, to be honoured going forward.

Correct me if I'm wrong Bugeye was signed on a 10 yr contract .
That contract included COLA
The above says those contracts will be honoured .

Attention please
COLA is going going
GONE
Now fans of other clubs can stop whinging .

That Is all














Ps ..we (AFL house )will find another way to give them money .
Another allownace and we will pay for it .
Now that's fair for all clubs
Carry on

Yes NRL clubs do have academies >> But the AFL didn't build them one > for example the Giants.

which is fair enough given they are an expansion club in an expansion market

the rental assistance isnt COLA because it can only be paid to developing players under the average salary

Buddies contract will be honoured but does that mean the Swans have less in their salary cap to compensate?

"Rental assistance"!!!

So if I'm a sydneysider on a wage of about 25-30k and I go up to Centrelink and ask for rental assistance they're gunna say....

Go fukk urself rich boy, you don't need no help.

But if I'm living in Sydney and employed as an AFL player on 299k the AFL will say...

299k!? you poor poor bastard living in big expensive Sydney city, I don't for the life of me know how you're going to afford the rent! Here, please, it's nothing, take 15 grand. Please, just take it..." .....

As corrupt an organisation as you'll find. I mean why don't they just say it how it is. They want Sydney to succeed and badly, so badly they would like to give them significant extra opportunity to win.

Rental assistance do you twits seriously believe that shit??

Sadly They do see it that way .
The cult like thinking .the nodding of the head in agreement with any crap dished out by the LEADER is mind boggling .

There'd be a riot in RL if the ARLC said .look
Melb have been pretty successful since they've come in .
I think we should give them extra $$$ to spend on players .
Yet in fumbleland that's normal .

What an idiotic post KE. AFL players look at their peers for comparison, not your average person. They dont NEED rental assistance, its given as an incentive to keep players from travelling home to their native city where family and friends live and cost of living is also cheaper.

Use your brains for once in your life

& KEs posts that show that these players are paid about 3 times the average wage yet somehow need rental assistance . Jesus h fuck what a load of crap .
Travelling home ..lol a plane flight is what .an hr to Melb
About 1 1/2 to sadelaide .
About 5 to Perth .
& they can certainly afford a few flights home .
They're not on minimum wage


FFS .do you believe that tripe you write .

Ahh Pisssssorrrrf nlol u obnoxious rude bastard!

I mean, they cAll it freakin RENTAL ASSISTANCE! And you can get it because you play for swans or gdubbya and... Wait for it .... You earn 299k per annum!!!



Actually no nlol, come back at once and answer me this. Greater western Sydney heartland is Blacktown. As of January 19, 2018 ur avg 2 bedder for ahem, dare I use the term, "RENTAL" there is a decent $380 per week.

And, what's say u were playing for the Richmond tigers, a traditional working class club in Melbourne, what's ur avg 2 bedder ahem rental there you ask? Well real estate.com has it at $600 shmackaroonies!!!

Cost of living you say nlol?

Look based on the facts, gdubbya es's rental assistance should be chopped. They really don't deserve it.

And the old bleeding heart I wanna be close to mummy and daddy dearest when I move out of home at 18? yeah right!!! what % full blooded young male footy players would seriously be thinking that?

The head honchos down at AFL hq are just taking the absolute piss out of the footy following public in between drafting up lists of top ten fuckable female employees that is

And nlols and swines are falling hook line and sinkers for the shite!!

Great thread swines this is now truly a great thread perhaps ur best!!!!
