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.
2. Chayce Jones
After missing selection for the opening two rounds of the season, Jones took his chance after returning to Matthew Nicks' side to play in all 10 games since.
The Tasmanian utility previously had just one game of 20 or more disposals to his name heading into 2023, with Jones surpassing that benchmark on five occasions already this season as a conduit role player for the Crow.
Culminating with a 28-disposal outing against Carlton at Gather Round, Jones' value to the South Australian club is continuing to rise as he works his way through his fifth season at West Lakes.
A top 10 selection from the star-studded draft class of 2018, Jones is beginning to rise to the level many have already reached from that same crop of talent, with the likes of Sam Walsh, Connor Rozee, Bailey Smith, Zak Butters and King brothers Max and Ben having emerged as some of the competition's best performers.
While Jones won't demand the same pay packet, the 23-year-old's stock is ascending and he'll likely be in line for a pay bump with his next deal.
Given his ties to Tasmania, the Launceston product is sure to be one to watch over the coming years as the AFL expands to 19 clubs.
