Just had a look at the Manly Football Club's Annual Report of 1985. Found it most interesting. I did notice that the Players sign on fees, match payments and coaching staff totalled $799984.
Quite amazing when you compare players and coaching staff now to 1985. I know it is nearly 30 years on and everyone now is fulltime and professional but when Inglis is reported to re-sign for a million a season or Hasler $900000 to coach, you begin to wonder how much the game has grown financially.
