I spoke to someone closely connected to an AFL club last week. This person told me that their son had just called and was super excited after the Club Best and Fairest night. This player told them that they finished 10th, and that got them a $55k bonus. Added to that, there was also a $20k bonus for playing 20 games. so thats $75k on top of their wage for being top 10, and playing 20 games. My contact said they did not know what their sons base wage was as they had never asked. (Fair enough). I was also told a couple of stories about a player who we (MFC) were once close to drafting (And should have) Just gossip, nothing pertaining to MFC so dont get too excited.

I would be very interested to know if anyone had a clue as to what sort of bonus payments our guys get based on the same benchmarks.

Its gonna be such a loooooong off season.

    There are all sorts of incentives for B&F finishes, Brownlow, finals, games played etc. It would vary widely I imagine. Someone like a Dusty would be on quite large incentives...

    Maybe it depends upon a given club and whether the club is under or over the salary cap. ?

    It might be an adjustment to right any wrongs, within it's sCap.?

    I would have thought the word be standardized incentives across the club, for the sake of the salary cap.  Ie they set aside $500k for BnF finishes, regardless of who places.  Similarly bonus for games played, would be a list wide standardised bonus.

    But then some players would have personal contract triggers: BnF, number of games,  maybe even other stats who knows?

    For someone like Dusty, you'd like that bonus would be over and above a pretty generous base salary. For a mid and lower tier player it could be a larger % component.

    I have a vague memory of us having so many injuries and having to make so many bonus payments to rookies and lower paid players we had to let the afl know we were going to be over the cap

    Or am i imagining things

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
