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...

No apologies warranted. Where would Demonland be if not for its meanderings ?

We could never adopt a transport system. We derail...... Everything !!

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.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
