Ordinary players may only get 200-300 a game and also AFL affiliated sides may only pay 10 players a game.

Some small country teams used pay 50 grand for players to play for them, and hense a lot of these clubs folding/merging about 5 years ago.

in his own words he says he carries chronic OP, and his ankles are obviously not coping with his 198cm, 100kg frame. Maybe the medical staff had just as much say about this decision as the coach did.

A lot of local football clubs still pay out that much and more. You will find a lot mre more money in these suburban and country leagues than the VFL.
