  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Sorry BB.

Ave Salary must be 221.95k which nobody gets.

So median is what most guy get right?

But they all get different amounts.

Median is probably closest to what many would think they mean ( npi ...well ...maybe  ..lo :rolleyes:) by average...  Similar I suppose to 'typical"

The club is all over Prestia and is quietly confident. The fact we traded out next seasons 1st round pick is of little consequence. We can trade 2017 first round for a start.  If Prestia says he wants

I nominate for POTY.

It's a Demonland tradition that players who leave the club (Frawley, Howe) or doesn't join the club like Prestia, suddenly diminish in ability. Conversely, players that join the club like Melksham are far better than their record suggests.

Prestia is only 23, and a sound investment by Richmond.

You know...I have the sneaking suspicion that if Dion's playing prognosis was more than positive that we'd have grabbed him. That we aren't...makes me wonder.  But then  ..we all know Richmond have better doctors !! ^_^

Yes- median salary must be something like $9.1 million divided by 41.

$9.1 mill is the annual cap.

41 is the amount of players on list.

The outliers are guys like Buddy and Tippet who ruin the whole team ethos.

The cap is $10.6 million.

Well the average (350k) is over all the players right? So, if you have players on 700k then it means all the other players aren't on 350k because the 700k bumps up the average. Get it?

I'll give you a microcosm... Let's say it's over just 2 players. If one player is on 700k, then the other player is on 0, because the average is 350k.

 

How many players in your opinion average the average wage of 350k ?

Exactly. Hopefully now BA can understand and you also understand the difference between average and minimum.

 

I'm not the one confused.

People have just taken it as fact that his knee is stuffed because he's having surgery on it. I get that there's a risk, but people aren't talking about Petracca in the same light.

And its a meniscus which is generally minor...

http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/what-do-afl-players-earn-four-footballers-earn-more-than-1000000-in-2015/news-story/d4b406a2147b77d25d93a61e443d7cff

Anyone know their statistics?

Only one senior-listed player took home less than $60,000

188 earnt between $100,001 and $200,000 (the most number of players earning between any specific hundred thousand dollar bracket)

95 players earned more than $500,000

The average was around $300,000

 

Based on that info:

There are ~790 senor listed AFL players and only 95 (5 per club) earn more than $500,000. 10 per club earn $100,000- $200,000.

 

And average overall is around $300k. I suspect median is closer to $250k.

You'd have to think 275-280 as being near typical

Well if you take the 5 above 500k as an average of 600k ($3 million) and the 10 between $100k- $200k as an average of $150k ($1.5 million) you have 15 players getting $4.5 m and the remaining 29 players getting $6 m, or an average of ~$200k each. 

 

I'm reading that as about 9 players between $60-100k, 10 players between $100k-200k, 20 between $200-500k (averaging $265k) and 5 above $500k.

The median would then be somewhere between $200k-$265k.

 

Effectively, your top 5 players get above $500k.

Your next 10 get $265-500k

And the next 16-25 get $200-265k.

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
