Every club including yours does this. Nothing illegal or even wrong with this.

True, there isn't; I never said there was. Unfortunately, though, we don't have a job agency as a major sponsor and have a lot of trouble finding employment for players. We have missed out on a number of recruits in the past few seasons as a result. I also know that at least one club the recruits have never spent a day working for their 'employer'; they possibly don't even know who their employer who pays them actually is. This is what I find a bit unethical.

Gowans were the best paid 'chippies' in Sth Aust. All clubs bend the rules including yours.

Dogs will win this one by around 25.

Surely you need to see who plays for the Power Ressies before making a tip?

This is absolutely cow droppings. The Eagles players are just entitled to have a job just like any other player in the SANFL. They attend, perform their work and get paid. They do not get paid illegally. Because a sponsor puts them in touch with a potential employer it is not unethical, it's a common practice. They get their normal match payments. In fact North Adelaide and Norwood were prepared to pay considerably more for the Mutch brothers than the Eagles. Don't waste your time on crap.

Which is why I said nothing illegal or wrong.

The Mutch brothers through an Adelaide contact went also to South and Glenelg. I have no doubt you offered them the most.

I would say its extremely intelligent to have an employment agency as a major sponsor. We all know employment is as big a factor as any other for why a player picks a club. If you can improve your ability get players employment you would be stupid not to.

I strongly believe one of the major reasons for Centrals downfall has been our lack of ability to get appropriate employment for potential recruits.

Yep it's very difficult. Made harder by the fact that most have little or no skills (not a criticism just a fact of young blokes starting out) and employers are shy (at times) to put people on without it helping their business. Can't blame them.

Absolutely back in the day Centrals had a strong relationship with the Aquadome. It was a great relationship as personal training/health and fitness industry was a great way for a lot of these young lads to get employment. There was also the added bonus of the uni students being able to complete customer service type roles which fitted into uni well. The business gained the profile of having 'SANFL footballers' as part of their workforce.

I believe that relationship isn't very strong these days for one reason or another.

Because employers employ through...........employment agencies.

They ran their own business; they were not actually employed by anyone. Cheers

It seems irrelevant nowadays how much clubs are willing to pay players, as it is not their football income but their income from their other employer that will have the most impact. Thus, the salary cap may as well be null and void. The club that is in the best position to recruit players nowadays is the club with employers who are in the best position to offer them well-paid employment. For the sake of transparency, should we get rid of the salary cap altogether?

No as Rockliff was always likely to be the only material in/out.
