Prize money

$220,000 was awarded to the winning club (by comparison, the prize money for the winner of the 2005 AFL Grand Final was only slightly larger at $250,000). Smaller amounts were awarded to clubs based on participation and progression through the competition.

It was announced that if a club could win both the pre-season and regular premierships in the same season, that the club would receive a bonus $1 million. Half would be distributed among the players, while the other half would go to the club. [1]
