The AFL Goulburn Murray Commission is pleased with the process in place for the implementation of the Salary Cap for season 2017.
AFL Victoria released a draft Salary Cap Policy on 29 July with all clubs invited to provide feedback via their region Commissions by 12 August. The GVFL, MFL and KDFNL all provided their feedback and information by the due date with the PDFNL not providing a response by the deadline.
AFL Goulburn Murray Region General Manager Martin Gleeson says clubs are keen for the Policy to be finalised so they can get on with planning for next year.
"During the feedback process the response from clubs was mostly positive to the Policy with the main areas of contention concerning the enforcement of the Cap and a request for more specificity as to inclusions and exclusions" he said.
"During the feedback process the GVFL, MFL and KDFNL all provided written feedback on the Salary Cap Policy with a summary document submitted by the Commission to AFL Victoria to meet the required timeline."
"We are looking forward to the final Policy being released which is expected to occur in the coming weeks."
"As part of this process each of the three Leagues has also provided their proposed 2017 Salary Cap to the Commission which has been ratified and submitted to AFL Victoria for approval."
"Once this has been signed off by AFL Victoria we will confirm the Cap with each League and then Clubs before releasing the details publicly."
"The Commission has also received feedback on the Total Player Points system implemented in 2016 with proposed 2017 Points Caps provided by the GVFL, MFL and KDFNL."
"Those caps have also been confirmed by the Commission and provided to AFL Victoria for ratification and then communication back to Leagues and Clubs."
"This process will occur over the next couple of weeks and all clubs will be notified of their League’s 2017 Total Player Points Cap by 30 September in line with the AFL Victoria Policy."
"Once the points cap has been released clubs will then be provided with a window of opportunity to apply to the AFL Goulburn Murray CCSP Subcommittee if they believe they should receive an allowance above their League’s Cap."
