How many days of this? I think I'm just going to choose a fresh team every time they overhaul.

Bit of fighting over Klinger.

Absolutely insane that Mitch Marsh would get 290K!!!

He's probably pretty happy he chose Cricket over AFL now..

Kaif's pretty active as well iirc. Even Ganguly still plays FC cricket.

According to cricinfo, the reason Ganguly played Ranji this year was to prepare himself for the IPL

I'm a bit gutted at the huge changing between the teams, as a neutral I started following a base of players as I don't really care about any geograhical point in India, and had eventually settled on Kolkata Knight Riders. All of a sudden I'm supposed to be following Gambhir, Yusuf Pathan, Kallis, Balaji, Tiwary etc. and I don't like any of those players. I'd probably abandon them entirely if they didn't pick Shakib. And being a spinner I can see him not being played a fair bit. So gutting.

Spot on, IMO. I'm not as affected since the two teams I support - Mumbai and Chennai, have pretty much retained the same core of players. Bangalore was my third team though, and I can't see myself supporting them with the bunch they have now, despite the presence of Kohli. If I didn't support MI and CSK, I'd also be considering going the route of the non-Indian supporters and just cheering on whichever set of players I happen to like at any point in time.

Average player salary tops $221,000 - AFL.com.au

probably 50,000-100,000 at the start?

 

[Spikey]

average afl salary would be around 250K i would think...but there's 16 teams with like 40 spots on each list

I'm more of an NRL fan, so I don't know the exact salaries in AFL. The big name players would be getting 500K plus, but I'm pretty sure the lower tier players which Marsh would be in his first season or two would be on perhaps 100 to 200K. Perhaps someone more into AFL could provide you with a better answer..

Does anyone know when he'll get back from injury btw?

EDIT - Yep read the 2 posts above..

 

[M0rphin3]

Vanderwath is a good buy imo.

 

[Oscillatingmind]

Some of these bids just don't make financial sense, its a bit weird.
