SANFL Salary cap

The SANFL salary cap is on the rise.

With Covid cost-cutting restrictions in the rear-view mirror, the SANFL has formulated a three-year plan designed to bring the salary cap back in line with pre-Covid figures.

The league will raise its salary cap for the eight standalone SANFL clubs – Central District, Glenelg, North Adelaide, Norwood, South Adelaide, Sturt, West Adelaide and Woodville-West Torrens – by $15,000 each season for the next three years.

With additional allowances included, this will take the salary cap to $375,000 – $25,000 less than the $400,000 that was in place in 2019 before Covid hit and caused major financial ramifications for the league and its clubs.

“Following consultation with the eight clubs, we have adopted a three-year plan to raise the men’s salary cap by $45,000 incrementally over the next three seasons to provide some surety to SANFL clubs when building their playing lists,’’ SANFL executive general manager of football Matt Duldig said.

The cap is still way too low to allow a reasonable standard of football. The AFL wouldn't want that though. The SANFL has become an under 25's competition and the age of most of our new recruits so far supports this theory.
