Not sure how that compares to uprooting across the country for a 3 month season and knowing that each match you miss is as important as the end goal of the once in 4 year Olympic games where sponsorship will outweigh anything the girls get paid. The Olympians although frugal will get way more than afl women do if they qualify. Even standardised and using some of the girls misrepresents your argument because first year draftees don't earn that much.I'm with you Thry, I said it a few weeks ago, the comp is half assed and nothing more than a toke gesture but the AFL. They are paid a pittance and it shows, the AFL should invest heavily (way more than they are now), pay them properly so that can be pro and then watch it prosper. Right now, for me at least, its unwatchable.
Do all afl players earn a million dollars a year? Nope. 2% do.
