Oh shit, read that wrong westy.
You mean how much in div 1?
I would say around 600$ would be the average for a gun (ex league ect) with the odd gun getting up around 800. That's just a guess.
Shane tuck signed at goodwood saint interested to know how Much he is getting.
that's a good pick up.
Shane Jordan is a gun.
Would div 1 player train 3 times a week?
Probably train twice then a Sunday or Monday recovery (not every week).
That probably explains why the standard in Div 1 has dropped away so much recently. Why would any gun player, not interested in training with a league club, want to train 3-4 times per week to play amateur footy, when they can train once a week, play at country clubs which usually have a much better culture, where the standard is as good if not better in some leagues , and most likley earn more for thier services.
SD did your brain just fart? You tell me which country league would boast as good a standard team as Div 1 Amateurs? I know its the age old argument about what standard country is equivalent to and the argument will go on for ever. I reckon you would struggle to find a side in a country comp that would be very competitive in Div 1. Agree there are players in teams that are well and truly good enough but the depth of most country sides doesn't go beyond their top 10 being good enough. that's not enough to be competitive. Agree on the culture and the money but not the standard. You will find from year to year the standard of Div 1 goes up and down depending on the number of discarded sanfl players who choose to play in SAAFL. Some years it can be really strong but the lure of the $$ has become more prevalent. And 3 to 4 times a week..? Train twice and recovery(injury prevention) one other night.
