AFLW players are getting more, what a joke.

Allegedly, the salary cap is still around the $400,000 mark because the AFL is giving each SANFL club around $200,000 PA,
once that ceases, then the cap will go up.

My longstanding view that I've put on here many times is that all the non-AFL aligned SANFL, WAFL and VFL clubs should have a $1 Million salary cap paid for by the AFL.

it would still only be 10% of the AFL salary cap but for a competition that is at least 75% as good.

The only two clubs for whom the salary cap would be relevant? The other clubs seem to be getting around it by gaining 'employment' for their players.

The AFL shouldn't get out of this either.
Firstly, the SANFL still provides a fallback for those who may have lost their way, ie Stengle.
Secondly, if they truly wanted Aussie Rules to be the number one sport they'd be assisting in getting average SANFL and WAFL crowds to around 5000 and make that second tier like whuffer said. But the AFL don't want Aussie Rules to dominate the sporting landscape, the AFL want the AFL to dominate it.

Also think changes to the labour market have an influence. Kids who maybe became bank tellers or clerks now go to uni because that is pushed and there are fewer jobs in banks, especially at entry level. Previously they were earning a full time wage and had paths within the bank or wherever available to them by their mid-20's. Now they're at Uni not earning much and starting their careers 3-5 years later. Similarly, for the blue-collar, there are not the manufacturing jobs there once was.
