Tiger players dig deep for Fighting Tiger fund (Herald-Sun)

[WilliamPowell]

question 92% of what ?

Not sure what the total cap is Jack - think it is near $7mil

[jackstar is back again]

lets say 6.4 mill then is paid to players
That would mean the players donated on an average approx 2% of there salary. $125,000 ?
Thats not taking into account the $$$$$$$$ they get paid for marketing.

Considering there managers take(they give ) an average of 5% of there salary to there managers, and a further 25% of money they get from marketing.
And we  should also consider sportsmans nights and cash appearances.

I would not of thought that $125,000 was a huge sum in the context of things

[Penelope]

Unbelievable jack.

For someone on say $50k (not talking footballers here, average joes) 2% would be $1000

If every supporter donated 2% of their income we would wipe the debt out real quick (which aint gunna happen), yet you think it is not enough for the players to donate 2%, when a number of those players will not even be around to reap the benefits.

What % of your income have/will you donate?. I know I wont get near 2%

where were you sitting jack? I was looking for you and the table you bought all night

[jackstar is back again]

my suggestion is that AFL players are on the average are grossly overpaid.
I know of several who do sportsmans nights for 1500 a gig -cash.
Also,they choose to have player managers who take a min 5%.

lets use an example of last year, Jordon McMahon, $330,000 a year.
2% relates to $6600 when he would of given his manager a min of $16,500 .
I rest my case
Only using Jordon as an example.

Due to troubles overseas. I did not attend.
More important issues in the world.
I have donated

[Infamy]

Salary cap is near enough to $8 million

[jackstar is back again]

so we pay $7,360,000 to play payments its fair to assume.
plus marketing dollars on top.
Which I beleive is where the managers take 25% of player payments

No one forces anyone to donate and people donate what they want. Personally I wasnt expecting the players  to donate at all. That they did is a credit to them all IMHO.

Spot On  

[jackstar is back again]

all i am saying is that the parasites in the sport( the managers ) are taking big dollars out of the game
Its likely that the joint payment to the managers of say Lids and Jack would be over $125,000, if you take into account marketing dollars

The managers are the ones who actively source these marketing deals so getting a decent cut from this part is reasonable.
This is the part the managers actually have to work for

[jackstar is back again]

unreasonable

[jackstar is back again]

so you think that if example being that Jack Riewoldt is wanted by say coke to appear in an ad and he gets $100,000 for it, that he should give flying start $25,000?
You are on drugs.
Managers to nothing for AFL.
Even stupid Marty Paske is now a player agent.
