I wonder who the player was that earned $1.0-1.1m in 2019 despite not playing a game . Has to be Tom Mitchell

right?

Tom Boyd ?? Or did he settle before then

Hmmm yeah that might be right

hey shorty · Oct 23, 2020

But yes Mitchell makes more sense.

Now I know he's a great player but a million dollars...... Wow.

Scorpus · Oct 23, 2020

This data is actually really interesting

Brad Crouch didn't play a game in 2018. From this salary chart we know for a fact he wasn't paid between $600k and $700k that year. He either earned below $600k or more than $700k

TryAnHit · Oct 23, 2020

Saints board has more Nuffies then the Geelong board and that's hard to do

Cap · Oct 23, 2020

Is the rule 1st round or after your first round.?

After your final pick I the first round does make some sense, given the AFL likely didn't think about scenarios where clubs had multiple 1st rounders.

See this is where I reckon they'll make something up to give us pick 9.

Which I'm kind of OK with.

right?

So he need to be offered the top 35 players so possibly around $750K provided most of the $700-800K are earning below $750K.

how do you get $800k as the magic number ?

I think so too. I just looked at the list of players who didn't play a single game in 2018 and Brad is the best of the list. 3 players, as confirmed by the AFL, earned $700-800k that year and didn't play

The others could be: Jamie Elliott, Grant Birchall, Kurt Tippett (settlement), Harley Bennell, Liam Picken, Sam Docherty

Edit: ignore me.

I thinks it's under 600 personally.

Scorpus · Oct 23, 2020

Anzacpaul said:

There is a "played" and "listed" column for each year. In the fine print, to be on the "played" list you have to play at least 1 match that year.

We know that in 2018, there were 46 players in the played column AND 46 players in the listed column that earned $600-700k. So 0 players earning in that range missed the entire season. Given Brad Crouch didn't play a single game that year, he can't have made a total salary in that range

Samcro24 · Oct 23, 2020

There is no magic number.

The dollar amount isn’t the issue, it’s whether the AFL wants us to have pick 2 or not. My guess is not.

Scorpus · Oct 23, 2020

True, but I think it's somewhat legitimate evidence that Brad Crouch was already earning quite a high salary, unless we can find 3 other suitable players in that price bracket

Apologies mate, didn't mean for you to have to explain. I was only looking generally and didn't realise there was a listed and played column.

After your final pick I the first round does make some sense, given the AFL likely didn't think about scenarios where clubs had multiple 1st rounders.

You'd have teams avoiding getting later picks because they'd rather get just the pick after their first than 2 later picks. Like if GWS finished 3rd in the current situation, would you rather pick 2 or 16 and 17?

Provide he if offered a contract within the top 5% earner, if he falls just short it will be the discretion of the AFL.

I reckon it was under $600k. Only 24 players across the comp on 700-800 that year, I would've assumed Tex and Sloane were in that range, so would be surprised if we had 3 out of 24.

AFL 2016: Brad Crouch signs new deal with Crows

Adelaide onballer Brad Crouch has signed a four-year contract extension, spurning interest from interstate clubs.

top 5% at total players (702) is roughly top 35 players.

Total number of players earning $800K and above is 32 players, i.e. $800K is guaranteed top 5%.

Given that Brad would have to be the top 3 players (32+3 = 35) within the $700-800K bracket, I would guess that he'd have to be getting at least $775K+ to trigger band 1, even then its still murky. $800K seems to be the magic number.
