A$220,000 was awarded to the winning club (by comparison, the prize money for the winner of the AFL Grand Final in 2005 was only nominally larger at $250,000). Smaller amounts were awarded to clubs based on participation and progression through the competition.
- Runner-up: $110,000
- Losing semi-finalists: $55,000
- Week 2 losers: $27,000
- Week 1 losers: $16,500
- Total prize money: $682,000
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 will be distributed among the players, while the other half goes to the club. The last club to win the double was Essendon in 2000.

Famous quotes containing the words prize and/or money:
“The true runner comes to the finish and receives the prize and is crowned.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“The stabbing horror of life is not contained in calamities and disasters, because these things wake one up and one gets very familiar and intimate with them and finally they become tame again.... No, it is more like being in a hotel room in Hoboken let us say, and just enough money in one’s pocket for another meal.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
