AFL PLAYERS will donate $150,000 to those affected by the Queensland floods.
The AFL Players' Association confirmed on Friday morning that the donation would be drawn from its charity trust, to which players contribute $50 every time they play a senior match.
Brisbane Lions midfielder and AFLPA president Luke Power said the players were determined to be involved in the relief effort.
"I've seen the devastation up here first hand and, like every other Australian, I know we all need to chip in and help in any way we can," Power said.
AFLPA chief executive Matt Finnis said the families of AFL players directly affected by the floods would be offered psychological aid.
"While we don't have the resources to offer the counselling more broadly, this is a small way in which the players can collectively support some of the people impacted," he said.
The Lions' administration offices reopened on Friday after the threat of flooding forced their closure on Tuesday. Players returned to training at Coorparoo on Thursday.
Chief executive Steven Wright said his club would now consider how it could assist with the clean-up of the city.
"Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the floods. As a club we will continue to discuss ways we can assist those affected in an ongoing capacity," he said.
Earlier this week, the AFL and its 18 clubs combined to contribute $500,000 to the Queensland Government's flood relief appeal.
