Why are we even talking 400+ though? Reality is Acres would've stayed for around 300k, which is a lot more reasonable.The AFL releases a breakdown of players salaries each year and 288 players made over $400k last year. That works out to 16 per club. Another 109 player made between $300-400k. That works out to 22 players per club earned more than $300k last year. Acres is reportedly earning $350k at Carlton, and we reportedly offered him $180k per year plus incentives. 29 players per club earned more than $200k last year.
