Since season 200, senior players from all 16 AFL clubs have donated $15 from each senior match payment to the AFL Players' Association Charity Fund, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to numerous charities along the way.

This year, all AFL players are contributing a further $20 per senior game to go towards a special Troy Broadbridge / Tsunami fund, details of which will be released at seasons end.  This is in addition to the $15 per senior game players will contribute as part of the 'normal' charity fund.
