Australian Football League Women's Players To Receive Signficant Pay Raise

Australian Football League Women's players are "set to receive a significant pay rise despite being just one year into their two-year collective bargaining agreement," according to Caroline Wilson of THE AGE. On the eve of the AFL Commission's "historic and potentially inflammatory" call over which clubs will be handed licenses in time for the '18 season, it emerged that head office "accepted the training demands on the women footballers well exceeded their current contracts." The wage increases are "expected to be signed off next month," with players across all three pay-tiers to earn "at least" an estimated extra 20% next season. The increases will come as the eight AFL clubs applying for licenses from '19 "digest the commission's expansion decision" expected to be reached on Tuesday but with no public announcement until Wednesday (THE AGE, 8/28).
