Plenty of players across the league are reaching career-best form in contract years, putting them in line for richer contracts for 2024 and onwards.
Whether their own club is looking to secure their services for the future, or a rival clubs sparks a bidding war, there are players at each club that will be looking at a pay bump when contract talks commence.
Here we name 10 players who could earn pay rises for 2024 thanks to their current vein of form.
10. Mason Wood
St Kilda's powerful wing-forward hybrid was the surprise form player of the opening rounds of the season this year, putting his name up in lights as a potential first-time All-Australian select at the age of 29.
The in-form Saint has booted 10 goals from his 11 appearances so far this year to be among the most impact midfielders forward of the ball, while he ranks elite for marks - both contested and intercept, effective kicks, one percenters and goal assists in 2023.
Wood recorded 42 MVP votes across the opening three rounds to lead the competition at that point in the season, and while his form may have plateaued since, his role within a finals contending side has remained vital.

Eligible as a free agent this year, Wood is unlikely to weigh up his options away from St Kilda given the level of football he's reached under Ross Lyon, however the veteran Saint could look to cash in on his 2023 form when negotiations open.
