What world view is that lol
It's an entire thread of tweets. Are you capable of opening it and reading it or do you need it to be spoon fed to you?
You sticking with Vlandys, there's a surprise
Afl just upped the annual payment to aflpa to $60mill a year, I’m guessing that is to help players post playing? Here’s the hardship fund afl contributes a share of revenue to:

Yeh I know shocking isn’t itYou sticking with Vlandys, there's a surprise
The players play for those clubs who get that grant so ultimately that money goes to them anyway.

and a $150mill retirement fund they have
Equity Trustees rewarded with $150m AFL players fund mandate
The manager has been involved with the AFL Players Association since 2012, and won its new mandate after a competitive tender.
no we dont know, and I’m just arguing that the premise that players should be covered whilst playing and for any serious injury, up to a certain amount/time, after playing due to work related injury isn’t greedy or as outrageous as some on here seem to find it.
given the nature of the risk to long term health problems players are taking in their workplace to make a billion $’s a year for the clubs and commission I think it’s a fair request to look at as long as it’s within games resources to do so.
also the claiming that players are getting a 22% pay increase when that simply isn’t the case as we are now seeing in the detail is yet again more spin from Vlandys that damages the trust between players and commission. It’s just put out there to make players look greedy and try and turn public sentiment against them to pressure them into agreement. And the Vlandys best friends with no cold media are happy to provide the vehicle to do it.
Maybe if the commission hadn’t caved in to clubs and given them a 67% increase on club grants in order to keep their jobs they could have put that $34mill plus a year to the players?
The club grant increase is above and beyond the cap so no it’s not going to the players. You raise a good question though, with a cap,of $12mill and a football cap of $5mill why do clubs need all of those running costs covered by the nrl? maybe they need to be raising more revenue in their business So the games money can fund grassroots, asset acquisition and growth strategies?
He added these things without a CBA or Salary Cap being agreed to. In the case of the latter (womens teams), they're currently unable to finalise their rosters.
The players' pay rise still doesn't bring them back to pre-pandemic levels (remember how they took a pay cut so the game could return a week earlier than the other codes in 2020?).
yep I think we all agree it should have limits, what we don’t know is what the commission see as acceptable li it and what the rlpa do. i think we can all agree 12 months is nowhere near enough?
and should the game pay for those elite development pathways or the clubs?
Real wages are after inflation. Wage growth has fallen behind inflation
Everything the RLPA request comes at a cost
The media who are angling to support the administrators are the ones speculating about strike action. All the players have said so far is that they have/will boycott media appearances.
I’ve seen players themselves say strike action is possible when the reality is they are no chance of doing it
The problem here is the answer is no and yes
