I know its an advert but I find it difficult that tax payers are paying footballers to play at SANFL level , surely the footy is not the major income of majority of players ?

Most players I know under 23 are at Uni with a Part Time job, so footy would easily be their No. 1 income. Remembering they get job with the DofEtaxed on their payments so how can people say they shouldn't be getting payments as employees like any other business?

I think the ATO ruling was that any contracted player was eligible for JobKeeper as PPT. Those with 2 casual jobs were able to declare which casual job was their primary job, and it wasn't income based. In my case, I have a casual teaching role with DofE, who as a government entity, don't meet the employer criteria, so, it was a no brainer for me.

OH really

Any government assistance that supports the most significant cultural institution within South Australia is all right by me.

He wouldn’t last 5 minutes under Stone.

He leaves no one unturned.

Only a 6 month gig. Jeepers.....

To his credit the Bays didn't lose one game while he was in charge.
Crowds were pretty poor though.

Without knowing the circumstances, I suspect the sports administration sector is going to see a lot of personnel change over the next 6 months. Particularly at CEO level. The pandemic will sort out the career administrators that code hop in search of coin and those with a genuine affinity and connection for the game and their clubs. The gravy train is about to leave the station....

Purely a guess.. but my R1 prediction - Sat. Eags v Dogs & Bays v Blues. Sun. Bloods v Panthers & Legs v Roosters

The SANFL should schedule carefully. When crowds are back they should get the crowd pulling clubs involved.
With no crowds and being on TV , leave the clubs that attract crowds to when the crowds are allowed. Difficult I know.

He doesn't post much but when he does it demonstrates his user name is not coincidental....

I don't know the ins and outs of the events of last week but as a general comment with respect to the sports industry, I think Knowledge isn't far from the mark here.

With 2 000 spectators being allowed into the Showdown, is it likely we will be allowed supporters at the SANFL in Round 1?
Cheers
