Harris at Odds over Contract Talks

[kruddler]

Are you saying there is no cap?

No. There is a very structured cap in AFLW.


AFLW player payments 2019-2022
Tier 2019 2020 2021 2022
1 $24,600 $29,856 $32,077 $37,155
2 $19,000 $23,059 $24,775 $28,697
3 $16,200 $19,661 $21,124 $24,468
4 $13,400 $16,263 $17,473 $20,239
Club TPP $474,800 $576,240 $619,109 $717,122

However, much like the mens game, there is money to be earned outside the cap. Remember Juddys Visy deal. He was earning 100k a year outside the cap for that....until Eddie McGuire complained and we had to include his finals year (or 2) in the cap. Reason for that was Judd was earning about 5-10 times more than any other player in the AFL outside the cap.

So the question is....how much are we allowed to pay Harris outside the salary cap. I have no idea what the allowances for that are for AFLW.

I suspect that it probably impossible for her to even earn 150k a year as an AFLW player.
Unless we get her a job at the club, ala Vescio and pay her plenty for that.
Unlike Vescio though, she doesn't really have any worthwhile skills
