And Executive Member, Scott Sanderson, asked his fellow with that they now have the responsibility for building a legacy professionals: for the A-League that supports all stakeholders and realises the eclectic ambitions we all have for the sport. “The central question is very simple…which of you players here think we should give the players who come after us less than The owners have a responsibility to improve the career path we received from the players who came before us?” for Australian footballers – from youth development all the way through respecting a player’s rights to represent their country. Two themes intersect at the centre of this question, the same They have a responsibility to rationally reimagine the economic that now sit at the heart of the A-League’s future: legacy and model for the A-League to ensure that the broken salary cap ambition. is scrapped and clubs are given the opportunity to build value in their players and build value in their clubs.

Through the PFA, the players supported the club owners in And the question for the owners is effectively the same as seeking the structural change the game needed. In so doing, posed by Sanderson; in inheriting the most influential piece of it is relying on the club owners being incentivised to invest, the Australian footballing puzzle, are they committed to building accountable to one another and committed to building clubs a legacy so that future generations of players, fans, coaches (and a competition) that can compete at the highest level with and support staff can realise the aspirational ambitions each all sports and all nations. have for our wonderful sport? The players, as always, have a fundamental role within this. The evidence of recent seasons, as documented in the past three PFA A-League Reports, suggests not. It is their performances that amplify the sport. Their deeds that go viral. Their smiles that win the hearts of fans. Their genius From a player perspective, most key performance indicators that wins their minds. Their journeys – perhaps from Wellington have trended negatively, with 61.5% of players coming off to Munich – fill our lives. contract, 40% of players starting the season at a new club, an average life span at a club of 2.4 years and more than half of all As we enter a critical new phase in football, we must focus on players not confident about the direction of their career. the legacy we collectively wish to build and the ambitions for the game we want to realise. Anything short of that, and a once Hardly the sort of career that rational parents would be pushing in a generation opportunity is lost. their children toward. Equally, support continues to trend downwards with decreasing viewership and attendances. This was matched by the players’ perception that match atmosphere and pitch quality dropped – two fundamental pre-conditions to an authentic football experience. This stagnation has been wholly attributed to the independence impasse; the awakening within the club owners of the futility JOHN DIDULICA of investing in an asset that wasn’t theirs and one they felt that Chief Executive were precluded from controlling. 3 CONTENTS STRATEGIC EMPLOYMENT LEAGUE TECHNICAL INJURY CONTEXT FRAMEWORK ASSESSMENT REPORT REPORT A NEW DAWN SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOT 6 BREAKS 11 19 27 35 AGE ANALYSIS COLLECTIVE COMPETITIVE GOALS METHODOLOGY 8 12 BARGAINING 20 BALANCE 28 36 PLAYER ATTENDANCE CREATION SEASON 13 CHURN 22 29 37 OVERVIEW SQUAD PITCH PASSING INJURY 14 STABILITY 24 RATINGS 30 39 LOCATION MATCH ATMOSPHERE POSSESSION 15 MINUTES 25 31 PLAYER FOREIGN DEFENDING DEVELOPMENT 17 PLAYERS 32 REFEREEING PROGRAM 33 41 ENGAGEMENT 42 IDENTITY 43 TRANSITION 4 A-LEAGUE SURVEY METHODOLOGY Where this symbol appears you will see data and quotes from The survey covered a broad range of areas impacting a player’s the PFA’s major annual survey of A-League players.

    FOOTBALL FEDERATION AUSTRALIA ‘NEW LEAGUES WORKING GROUP’ RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT 31 MARCH 2019 Introduction and Overview by the Chair As was the case with the Congress Review Working Group work in 2018, this report and the associated recommendations of the New Leagues Working Group are the result of hundreds of hours of work over the past 6 weeks by the individuals listed at the end of this report, many of whom are volunteers. The unity of purpose comes from a shared passion for outcomes that deliver for the good of Australian football. The legal, constitutional, commercial and social issues that underpin the New Leagues Working Group mandate are in many places intertwined, hence added complexity for the NLWG in delivering on this mandate within such a short timeframe. Full credit to all those involved. The calibre and depth and breadth of the presentations, submissions, analysis and debate over the last six weeks is singularly impressive. PART 1 - NEW LEAGUES WORKING GROUP 1. Pursuant to Special Resolution 2 passed by the Members of Football Federation Australia Limited (FFA) at the General Meeting held on 2 October 2018, the New Leagues Working Group (NLWG) was established to consider and propose an Alternate A-League Governance Model for the Professional Australian Football Leagues, comprising of the A- League, W-League and the Y-League. (the Professional Leagues). A copy of that resolution is attached as Appendix 1. 2. In terms of NLWG members, Item 2 of Special Resolution 2 provides that: “The NLWG will comprise of the following members: (a) nine (9) Presidents of State Body Members; (b) five (5) A-League Club Chairs; (c) two (2) members of the PFA executive; (d) two (2) members of the Women’s Football Council; (e) two (2) FFA Directors; (f) members of FFA management, as required; and (g) an independent, non-voting Chair.” Final Report - 31 March 2019 Page | 2 3.

INTRODUCTION 1. This matter concerns an incident which occurred between Brendon Santalab (the Player) and Ali Abbas (the Complainant) during the Sydney derby which took place at Allianz Stadium on 8 March 2014. 2. A complaint was lodged with the FFA on 10 March 2014 regarding an alleged racist comment by the Player. This Committee was constituted to deal with the complaint and to determine whether an offence had been committed by the Player, as alleged. 3. The Committee dealt with the complaint over two lengthy hearings, and reserved its decision. It is intended that these reasons shall be made public, and hence the specifics of the charge are not disclosed to avoid potential prejudice or harm to those involved. While this may make the reasons more difficult to follow, we believe that it remains in the public interest to expose our reasoning, to the extent possible, to avoid speculation about that.
