SAAFL Division 1 2013

[InTheChair]

For a club that has been known for paying large amounts of money in the past but has massively under achieved in the Amateur League, maybe if the players are there for the right reasons and not just for the cash they might actually have some success this year.

exactly right, although the money's gotta get them a flag sooner or later!!

What about when you through the cash around at our club. Brought in your golden child's gave them the world but couldn't produce a flag and then spat the dummy and left? Similar situation.

Oh here he is , crawled out from under a rock have we?
Your version changes on a day to day basis as to why i exited that hole. get it right AP.
Yuz havn't done anything since i've left have you???? mmmmmmm no don't think so!!
I bet your looking forward to Adelaide Oval next year & I bet you won't be paying 30K for the 1 player then like you are now?
Get back under your your rock your embarrassing yourself once again.

Bingo - so its ok for you to have a crack at other clubs?


At the end of the day - spending money in SAAFL is not beyond the rules anymore so I really don't know why people still want to make such a big deal about it. - especially when their clubs (or ex clubs) have been guilty of the same thing in the past.

[NO-MERCY]

For your information FC the side i coached were never outside the so-called salary cap when i was in charge.

[Footy Chick]

Not saying they were luv BUT obviously, just like the majority of other div 1/2 clubs (which you were back then) there was obviously some cash being thrown around.

Most clubs would have to splash around a certain amount of cash, even now, to maintiain any type of competitiveness at that level.

there is no salary cap now though, so I'm not sure why everyone is hoo-haring over it, except for maybe wishing they had the same amount of money to play with - and that's my point

I agree. Its less about players getting paid or how much their paid. Its more about the have's and have not's....ie those Clubs whose infrastructure generates more income than those who generate less. You cant spend it unless you have it (usually). It seems the gripes come from the have not's or those disaffected in some way. The AFL is much the same in many ways. IMO I'm sure if Hope Valley had a benefactor with spare 100K each season you would have been in Divvy one 6 years ago.....(and maybe fixed your oval)

Exactly. Look at professional sports all round the world. The bigger clubs with the money are generally the more successful ones. And good on em I say for getting their club to that position where they can get that success. I know we are only amateurs, but the point still remains.
Do you see the smaller clubs overseas pissing and moaning about what those bigger clubs are paying? No, they just deal with it and accept it.
It's just the way it is, so I think we need to stop making such am issue of it. Good on these clubs if they can afford it, and good on those players if they can get it.

I am sure though that if some of these critics clubs ever got themselves into a strong enough position financially, that in no way would they throw any money at any recruits to try and better their side and be successful in the upper divisions

Exactly. Just look at Indiana in the NBA. Yearly salary is what some clubs are paying 3 players and still getting it done. Sure it's harder but got to use the cards you are delt. By the way I don't think Salisbury north are paying X amount of extra dollars then anyone else. Bare in mind the kids of the last 3-4 years are now 22-24 years old and have played 50+ A grade games. I think their rise to the top was always going to happen. Oh and the likes of Jordan and camplin Sajwicz ect coming back to the club helps.

Has the potential to make games against Uni and PACOC bloody difficult.

Says the bloke from Pt Districts.

Now I know you don't like it when your mob get accused of the same so at the risk of beig called the pot, perhaps lets not speculate as it only turns into unnecessary arguments

Let he without sin cast the first stone

*edit* I'll add that this applies to everyone - not pinpointing LMA but a good example.

Not even in the same ball park FC

Success is mentioned a bit in this post, so where is it ? A Div 11 premiership ?
