AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

Andrew Dillon and I met last week, made it, you know, I think we got to a point where there was a broad understanding of what that would look like.

Whateley

There's probably still some details to work through as they work through with the government.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

But, you know, we're certainly supportive of it.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

I don't see us being anything other than

helping bring it to life into the future years.

Whateley

And, you know, I probably expect that that becomes South Australia into the future, but we'll work with the AFL.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

That's ultimately their call.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

It's a good question.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

It hasn't actually come up for me since I've started.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

I know we've opened the door to it in the last CBA.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

That was a fair while ago now.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

I think broadly, more player movement's a good thing for the game.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

So we're certainly open to that conversation.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

Some clubs have some concerns about whether it would equally apply for all 18 clubs.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

I think there's ways to navigate those concerns, but the ball's in the AFL's court, and if they want to pursue it, we're certainly up for working through the detail of that with them.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

Yeah.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

Our job is to negotiate the cap and the minimum salary, and then it's over to the clubs to work their way through that in between.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

I think what we've seen is some significant increases in payments in recent times because the cap's gone up.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

Yeah.

Whateley
AFLPA CEO James Gallagher | Full Interview (15.04.26)

probably want to see that continue to go forward.
