Club Payments Crackdown

[GWW]

If there has to be a salary cap - in addition to points system - it should be set at a realistic amount of 100k or 120k. If it goes down to 60k next year it will cause significant issues and I think clubs will start to fold.

I also think the amount that a player/coach's pay that is included in salary cap ($300 a week I think?) is too low, and is probably a loophole that more and more clubs will try to exploit.

the Brighton video gave some interesting insight...

am curious if GSFL would be even greater than SAAFL/SFL

surely the SAAFL Div 1 should be allowed a little bit more room - otherwise its bye bye super stars theyll never play local

Deer Park in Victorian Metro League paid out in 2015 to players $260K. Ex AFL guys running around on a Sat getting $4K -$5K a game

That's why Deer Park are lining up for their 4th flag in a row, Fev's playing for them this season.

Woomelang-Lascelles in the now defunct Mallee League were paying similar amounts. Absolutely mental when you think about it.

Who cares if they can afford it?
The club is obviously not losing money so good luck to them

[LaughingKookaburra]

There would be clubs in Victoria country comps paying out more than that. Go to the Ovens/Murray and Geelong leagues. Heck I'd reckon there are/were clubs in country SA that would be forking out that!

So where is the balance and fairness in a competition that can do that? How many clubs might consider changing leagues as a result?
Salary caps and points were brought in to stop this very thing supposedly but who has the balls to do anything about it, noone!
Be hard playing every Sat against yourself if the others said " get F****D" and walked!

Had some spare time today to look at some clearances. I thought a big beneficiary of this system would be the bordering Victorian Leagues in mainly Wimmera, Sunraysia and Millewa who still would be paying a fair whack. Not too much movement on this front or nothing really worth taking note of...

Interesting that there is more and more talk of big offers coming from across the border. If you are willing to travel, you can do very well.

I know of two sfl lads going over the border for 1200 a game. No club in S.A. can compete with that.
