Australian national league salaries

Wildcat's MVP Ball sold out at 1,200 attendees apparently.

At $200 a ticket (for members, more for non), that's a very tidy $240,000+ return on a simple award's night. Even after hiring and catering, that would be a nice profit making venture. It's obviously hard to get gauges on other club's financials but the Wildcats really do seem to have a money-generating capacity well ahead of the league.

BALLER#3, you're comparing apples with oranges, not to mention making inferences that just aren't true.

I never stated that I "hated" the A-league: I'm just of the opinion that it's a poor quality league and not very entertaining. While I'm sure many would agree with me on this, and I haven't written anything that deserves to be labelled as "stupid".

I already agreed with you that there are likely many casual basketball fans out there that dislike the NBL because of their exposure to the NBA... your point, princess? Do you even know what you're rambling on about anymore?

I can only conclude that you are, in fact, having a go, or just stuck in your own world where you believe I'm proving your point. In either event, I pity you and your potentially unfortunate offspring.

@BALLER#3 - I hope you weren't implying that I'm a casual fan, otherwise my counter would be: go back to the drawing board on a new arbitrary International Cup.

The first paragraph I posted was about the A-LEAGUE, not the NBL. I love the NBL, and easily prefer it to the NBA. The A-league is just shite.

What you say is true, but doesn't apply to myself.

Oh, I have no doubt that Irene is getting that. I also have no doubt that her team is viewing the ANZ salary cap as a salary "guideline". Half the Silver Ferns are on that one team.

The A-League is always going to look ordinary when compared to EPL, La Liga..Just like the NBL probably looks ordinary when compared to the NBA.

It's advantageous to a sport like AFL, which has no higher substitutes.
If people like Aussie Rules, they are only going to watch the AFL.

I'm gobsmacked that the average A-league salary is $120,000... I flicked on an A-league match a few weeks ago: after the ball was turned over quite literally ~10 times in 30 seconds and a blown shot on goal I couldn't stand to watch any longer.

How much are Netball players in Australia currently payed for 'international duties'?

Surely the NBL's $265,000 contract was Flynn?

No wonder the NBLPA wants to kill the points cap. <_<

Ten players per team, average salary 93k, salary cap is 1m...

Does this mean only 93% of the salary cap is getting used league wide?
