Yes, you'd think maybe they'd have one or two more in there.

But I'd need to see the full list and know where it starts from.

My guess is Geelong only have one player nearing the million dollar mark, Cameron.

Danger probably isn't on as much as he used to be.

Stewart, I would imagine is at the higher end of the scale.

Beyond those three, I don't see who else would be on $800k+ - And I'm only assuming that's the starting point that would get you into the top 100 earners list. Maybe it's closer to 700 or 600 - but the lower you go the more a single dollar matters and could be the difference between having you on the list and not being on it. Geelong might have 5 players on $599,999 but the 100th top earner is on 600k, for example.

Also, aside from not having many players worth big contracts. Geelong aren't the sort of club that have to overpay anybody to play for them.
You always hear stories about St Kilda offering large sums for players - because that's the only way they can attract them. Geelong don't have to rely on that.
You may even find a lot of the top 100 earners come from the worst performing clubs.
