Geelong and Sydney top the AFLPA’s wellness survey. But the club languishing at the bottom of the table for player wellbeing, nearly three full points behind the Swans and the Cats in a rating out of 10, remains a secret.
Geelong and Sydney, renowned as two of the most successful football clubs in the past quarter of a century, have been named the happiest places to play football by their own players.
The themes included environment, player development and transition, as well as health, safety and wellbeing. Clubs were emailed by the AFLPA late on Wednesday when it became apparent that this column was seeking further detail into the report. They were reminded that club results should remain confidential.While wellbeing is hard to measure from the outside, the clubs who suffered miserable seasons on the field in 2023 are far easier to identify. West Coast and North Melbourne were on the receiving end of some catastrophic thrashings and both managed just three wins for the season.
Hawthorn staff and players also continued to deal with the ramifications of the racism saga that has been engulfing the club for the best part of two years. For example, players were asked to provide a number value for certain statements, with one being “strongly disagree” and 10 being “strongly agree”.My club commitments allow adequate time for study and/or additional work placements.My club commitments allow me to have a “mental break” from footy between matches.
The AFLPA report lists social media as one of the most significant challenges for footballers coming into the system.
