Does the players in the local league have an union and if so, do they have position?
Believe they have no union.....once a South Adelaide player tried but failed.
Ian Prendergast, who I believe is involved in the AFL players union now. Prendergast only had the one year I think with South before heading back over the border. Would still have nightmares about Brant Chambers.
Most players I've heard when asked about it (moreso in 2013/14) just comment that they want to play against the best etc, so seem fairly apathetic about it all. In the media anyway, behind closed doors possible different feelings.
An exception was Suckling from Norwood, who having played in the VFL, highlighted the pitfalls of AFL inclusion and the long term effects.
