BEN BROWN
North Melbourne key forward
Contract status: Off contract in 2018
This season: 63 goals – third in Coleman Medal.
Why his pay day is coming: Had a career-year when emerged as the Roos' primary focal point inside attacking 50. Had 41 more goals than the next best Roo and is tipped to finish in the top three in the best-and-fairest count. That he is generally a dead-eye in front of goal adds to his value. The Tasmanian has also become a cult hero because of his curly locks and unconventional run up – a marketing boon for a club searching for a public face. Contract negotiations have already opened and a new deal could be done by the start of next season. Dual Kangaroos premiership player David King has said the 24-year-old is worth more than $700,000 a season.
