The AFL players' millionaires club has grown to six - the most since 2012.
Average player salaries grew to $309,208 and the total wage bill for the 718 players was $204.3 million.
The figures were released on Thursday as part of the AFL's annual report.
Of the six players, who were paid $1 million or more, two went above $1.2 million.
In 2012, eight players were in the million-dollar club.
The release of the player payment figures quickly leads to speculation about who is in the top bracket.
Lance Franklin's monster free-agency deal with Sydney puts him in the top bracket and Western Bulldogs spearhead Tom Boyd is another.
The players are on the verge of securing a new pay deal after negotiations with the AFL that have dragged on much longer than forecast.
