http://mm.afl.com.au/portals/0/2012/2011tppbandinfo.pdfFrom that little table of figures... I conclude;
Of the 22 blokes running around at AFL elite level for each team, each weekend;
- The vast majority are getting paid $200k to $300k.
- roughly 5-6 guys will be getting $300k-$400k.
- About 3 of them will be on $400-$500k.
- About 2.2 of them will be getting $500k++
- about 10-12 of the others not in the team and playing in the VFL, will be getting roughly $100-$200k
- roughly 5 main bands of pay.
- many players will also receive many extra fringe benefits, and sponsorship deals...
At Geelong, I would rank the boys as;
$500k+ - Joel Selwood & Jimmy Bartel.
Just behind, maybe Scarlo and Stevie J & Chappie.
The next 6 - Enright, Kelly, Joel Corey, Mackie, Harry Taylor, maybe Hawkins breaking in to that group shortly.
Then statistics tell you that the following stars are under $300k.... WoJo, Hunt, Stokes, Byrnes, Varcoe, Lonergan, Pods, etc.
But their pay day's were topped up with 1, 2 or 3 Premiership Medals, with the odd Brownlow, & Norm Smith (Stevie J, Chappie, and Jimmy Bartel - Stevie J nearly nabbed 2 actually!).
. Plus future value is higher for a Premiership Player !
Go Cats !
Do the same for your teams... eg Freeo... Pav & Sandy would be in the top bracket obviously...
