Salary Cap Issues - Norwood, West & Port

[topsywaldron]

There does seem to be an infatuation with the footy manager

He's got great hair, that's where the swagger comes from.

It's to do with Kieran McGuiness' contract changing mid year from a normal player contract to a marketing one due to his season ending injury. In saying that, even with these payments Norwood were still under the salary cap for 2012. I guess its a bit like the Tippett salary cap "mistake"

If Norwood didnt notify the SANFL of the contract change its a pretty stupid error, and $50K is a pretty big penalty for a stupid error on the managements behalf.

Just wondering why you would need to change the contract from playing to marketing? Is this normal for any player who has a season ending injury?

Would it be to reallocate more player payments to another player?

I believe they did a similar thing with Eagleton when he retired. He had a year left on his contract so rather than have his payments go towards the Total Player Payments (TPP) they were allowed to move some of it onto a marketing contract which isn’t counted toward TPP. I guess due to McGuiness being captain they wanted to look after him since he wasn’t going to be receiving any match payments for a massive chuck of the season.

Not sure if other players with LTI at Norwood, or other SANFL clubs, are given the same help.

A lot of player have their contract written in such a way that they only only receive full game match payments when they play a league game and get basically nothing when out injured or in the reserves - perhaps the player in discussion had a contract like this and having a long term injury the club needed to change so that the player and his wife could buy food -- I honestly do not know but do know several players in the past who were caught in this type of contract situation

Look through the posts he's made. Many of the things he's been claiming have come from him.

I do admire your patience JK, I just read the above and didn't go any further

Come on guys any SANFL player would hardly rely on his match payments for FOOD !
How many are employed soley by their SANFL Club ?

[dedja]

No it's all true, we lose a few reserves players each year to starvation ... devastating really

[dedja]

I believe your club has the most recent list of 'full time' SANFL footballers.

Doyle and Phillips spring to mind......

Simon Phillips works for Kings, I saw him at One Stop Building & Hardware last Wednesday.

maybe he does have a job outside of football now. But in his first season with Norwood he did not!

A bit harsh on Flipper, he is 25 now. He has been on an AFL list for the last two years. I dont really know about his employment in his early 20's but he might have been studying or just not doing much like alot of other guys in their early 20's.

And when was the last one before that?

3 in 40 years ... the Bays are doing alright

[Dutchy]

I thought Phillips was on the Rookie list last year at Port? Hard to have a crack at him being a full time footballer then!

If you're going to go on about flags, 4 in 90 odd years is nothing to be boastful about

[dedja]

Don't me Son ...

Keep out of it and get that defence ready for salary cap rorting ... and maybe get a new piss-o-meter

[Booney]

Well, thats got nothing to do with Port and the dividends to the SANFL!
