Title: Player wages
Post by: (•))(©™ on January 23, 2015, 01:19:18 AM

"The average salary for an AFL player in 2014 was $283,029, increasing from $265,179 the year before."

What a joke.

It's relative to the size of the market, how much money is in the sport and how much revenue the players generate.
