Have heard that the league are working with CFL to prevent players chasing money outside of the Metro. The proposal I have heard is that if a player chooses to seek money outside of the Metro comp and does go to the country he will be band from returning to the city clubs for 3 years.

I think it will only make players choose carefully their playing career for 3 years!

Plus it only takes a bad year (drought) on the land for the well to dry up for those country clubs. Bad position to be in if you are a first year player in the country and knowing full well you cannot return to the city for 2 more years.


Instinctively my suspicion is the Courts would take a very dim view of a by-law/regulation like that. Does not seem to be a reasonably proportionate restraint of trade

Would that mean paid players would have to declare payments as an income, they might not like that.

Why would you find it astounding...People in the SAAFL Forum make comparisons when talking with common interests..... You may or may not be right .......Probably fair to say it's true and in some cases the $$$ are probably more in fact........Goodwood Saints vs Ramco as a an example perhaps.......(but saying "as much as".....is like having a bit each way because like me you have no specifics .....) Always a bone of contention with many. :)

The country leagues don't brand themselves as "Amateur", they are what they are and don't pretend to be something they are not.
The centralisation of metropolitan football has destroyed amateurism.
