The $1m shock: Why alarming Tiger salaries make AFL happy
Despite having the worst season in club history, Richmond populates the top money earners in the game. But that is all part of how the AFL wants the cycle of footy to work.

This article is behind paywall but apparently, we're about to open up $2.2-2.4 million in our salary cap from just moving on Martin & Bolton. Then add in the money from Baker, Graham and Dan Rioli also moving on and we're potentially going to have a large chunk of our salary cap freed up.

Either way if he gets another contract it will be at considerably less.

Exactly how is that a shock?
The knowns are that those players are going. Does one plus one not add up to significant salary cap space? ::)

You heard wrong
15.78ml the salary cap in 2024
415k average, just using a list of 38
Then have to factor in rookies etc , which brings it down even further

It isn’t an argument
The size of the salary cap is factual
15.78ml is the total amount
Therefore you heard wrong on this matter
