100 highest paid players in the competition

We have looked after Hurley and Heppell enough after the saga. Time to move on.

I wrote this as a draft a couple of months ago, but never posted it:

McGrath should never be in the top 10 earners at the club.

It’s purely due to role.

The 3-4 centre bounce mids are typically your best players, and McGrath couldn’t make this grade.

The 5 talls along the spine are more important.

Throw in an off-spine intercepting defender like Ridley…some x-factor small/medium goal-kicking forwards…and we’re there.

At least 10 players, that need to be prioritised for salary, before we get to McGrath’s role…we’re past the pick 1 halo.

As for a back pocket like Wanganeen…….
Unless a Macca’s franchise is included in the salary calculations.
