The financial side of AFL is one of utmost interest to fans, especially in the current day and age, as fans have never been more intrigued and aware of the inner doings at clubland.

The supporter base needs to know who is getting the big bucks,= in order to know the state of their side's list management, which highly dictates the performance of the team they devote so much time to.

Last year five players earned more than seven figures, with Richmond star Dustin Martin, Swans forward Lance Franklin, Eagles backman Jeremey McGovern, Dockers captain Nat Fyfe and Collingwood ruck Brodie Grundy all earning over a million dollars.

With most of these players in the twilight of their careers, we take a look at some potential future million dollar players.

For the purpose of this exercise, we have only taken players who are out of contract in 2022 or 2023 into account. 

2. Tom Green

The latest freakishly good midfielder to come out of Tom Wills Oval is Tom Green.

Following names like Callan Ward, Josh Kelly and Stephen Coniglio, Green finds himself as the next star mid for GWS.

Pick 10 in the 2019 draft, the Canberra recruit is yet to play 30 games but has already shown how outstanding his game is.

The 21-year-old has brought his A-game this season, averaging elite numbers in his three games so far.

Green is even gaining comparisons to another red-headed midfielder in Clayton Oliver.

The Giants wouldn't want to lose this one as they have with countless other quality mids over the years. Big sums might emerge in contract talks should Green continue the way he's started 2022.

With his contract set to finish in 2023, others are sure to come barking up that tree, with Richmond a potential suitor given Green's grandfather, Michael, is a Tiger's legend.
