THE AFL will finally announce details of its collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the players on Tuesday afternoon.
The media conference will be streamed LIVE on AFL.com.au from 4.30pm ACST, ahead of the annual Hall of Fame ceremony that this year will be held in Adelaide.
The new agreement will cover the next six seasons and, as AFL.com.au revealed last week, is expected to involve a significant 20 per cent pay increase for players and the expansion of the clubs' salary caps.
Details of changes to free agency are also expected to be outlined, with the AFL recently considering a number of potential alterations to the current model.
Players, including AFL Players' Association board members Patrick Dangerfield, Leigh Montagna, Easton Wood, Phil Davis, Rory Sloane, Sam Docherty and Scott Pendlebury, had grown frustrated over the stalling of talks regarding the pay deal this year.
Pendlebury in particular in February said he would agree to sit out a quarter of a pre-season match in protest if the AFLPA asked.
