A bit rich to begrudge the players having 8 tickets given all the other gravy trainers that would be there.Don't forget that all AFL Grand Final tickets given to the players association - see below the new Collective Bargaining Agreement;
Also why do players playing in a Grand Final need 8 tickets each???
36.2 Grand Final
(a) AFL shall provide 1000 Grand Final tickets to AFLPA in each year for AFLPA to make
such tickets available to AFL Players, AFLPA stakeholders including past Players,
AFLPA Board and Committee members and staff.
(b) AFLPA shall be responsible for:
(i) Allocating Grand Final tickets to Players in such manner as it determines;
(ii) Collecting payment for the Grand Final tickets from Players; and
(iii) Making payment to AFL for the face value of the Grand Final tickets by 31
October after the Grand Final provided that AFLPA shall not be required to
pay AFL for any ticket which AFLPA returns to AFL prior to 15 September in
the relevant year.
(c) In addition to any ticket which a Player may be able to access in accordance with
clause 36.2(a), each Club that competes in the Grand Final shall make not less than
200 Grand Final tickets available to Players from that competing Club to Players
selected to compete in the Grand Final (including emergencies), that being eight
Grand Final tickets per Player. If any Player does not exhaust his allocation under this
clause 36.2(c), those tickets shall be made available to other Players of the competing
Club in a manner determined by the Club.
Wife, parents, in-laws and siblings could eat that up.
