    AFL Rich 100

    The Herald Sun have published who they think are the top 100 earners in the game and their estimated pre and post Covid salaries.

    SALARY FIGURE

    * Player’s contracted salary for 2020 to the best of our information. A number of players are in the same wage band. Salaries can alter depending on bonuses.

    COVID SALARY

    * Each AFL player is losing around 28 per cent of his 2020 contract salary because of COVID-19.
    I won't reproduce the full list here because it is not in a format where that is easy to do, however here are some highlights:

    100 Brodie Grundy $550-$625 (back ended deal)
    94 Easton Wood $600-$650
    92 JJ $600-$650
    83 Issac Smith $600-$650 (since we chased him last year)
    81 Peter Wright $600-$650 (can't get a game)
    75 Lachie Hunter $600-$650
    74 Darcy Moore $625-675 (due for a pay rise)
    55 Jarrod Witts $675-$725 (wow)
    52 Charlie Curnow $675-$725 (can't get on the park)
    51 Mitch McGovern $675-$725 (good luck to him I guess)
    50 Jack Macrae $700-$750
    36 Joe Daniher $700-$750 (pay cut coming)
    33 Taylor Walker $725-$775 (signed at the right time in 2017)
    25 Jordan De Goey $775-$825 (big money for the odd good game)
    17 David Swallow $800-$850 (I guess the Suns have to pay someone big dollars)
    10 Max Gawn $900-950
    9 Lachie Neale $900-950
    8 Marcus Bontempelli $950-$1 million
    7 Jeremy McGovern $1-$1.05 million
    6 Patrick Dangerfield $1-$1.05 million
    5 Jack Martin $1.1-$1.15 million (front ended deal)
    4 Dustin Martin $1.175-$1.225 million
    3 Nat Fyfe $1.2-$1.25 million
    2 Lance Franklin $1.4-$1.45 million (back ended deal)
    1 Jeremy Cameron $1.5-$1.55 million (back ended deal)

    These are all pre-covid figures. Wood is on more than I thought (I imagine we save a few $ when he re-signs), the other dogs aren't surprising.

    Woody signed a deal at the end of 2016 didn't he? Premiership captain's dollars.

    We'll have a player joining that list from next year - Bailey Smith.
    Alex Keath is close to the top 100 isn't he? From memory we paid decent dollars but the length of contract is what got him over the line with us.

    FWIW Essendon fans think they've asked about 2MP and they'll have the cap to accommodate him (if they ever start taking notice of the cap).

    Correct on Wood, good timing maximised his worth.

    I'm not sure what Keath is on, perhaps in the $500s which is just outside the top 100?

    Daniher out and Wright in would work for the Bombers.

    If the salaries are in anyway correct I'd hope the club is prepared to stand firm on an offer about half of that for the 2021 season and beyond. We have some more deserving players coming due for solid increases
