Player Wages & List Sizes in 2021

AFL players will have their wages cut by only 3.5 per cent for the 2021 season.

Reports from across the industry on Wednesday afternoon suggest there will be a nine per cent decrease in the Total Player Payments (TPP) in 2021, but the decrease in list sizes softens the cut.

Players who signed a deal after the mid-year contract freeze will see no wage reduction.

List sizes have also been confirmed, with list sizes reduced from between 38 and 47 to between 37 and 44.

A maximum of 38 players on the senior list, down from 40 this year. Teams will only have to select one player in this year’s draft if they wish.

The salary cap is expected to return to normal in 2022.

75 per cent of the playing group will have to approve the deal for it to pass.

    From the article:

    "Players contracted beyond 2021 will have the opportunity to push up to five per cent of their salary into 2022 and 2023". 

    The AFL is actively promoting back-ending contracts and for clubs to do what has brought Coll undone - pushing money out to future years. 

    I wonder how many Coll players will take that option:  back ending already back ended contracts... :cool:

    Does this mean we will only have 4 rookies if Bedford and Jordon sign on or will they both be rookie listed?

    at this rate we will resign both on the senior list and have 4 picks at the draft with our current hand, re-rookie mbrown, lockhart and nietschke and then decide whether to re-rookie chandler too or take a rookie draft pick and then we will fill 1/2 B spots with bradtke

    It is just to hard to work out. I am taking the “ let me know the result when the merry go round stops” and I will look at 2021 from there. It seems like the draw for next year will be a moving fiasco. It seems like the broadcast media now run the competition. Who actually employs Gill? And by the way Gill get a haircut and shave. 

    On days like today it reminds me why my interest in AFL is sliding.

    It's a nice little metaphor for society, reallly.

    'It could have been a big hit to income but we'll soften the blow by tossing a couple of the most vulnerable people out of the boat completely.'

    Righto, with that out of the way, we can get back to all being in this together.

    Could not have said it so well.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
