Not having the greatest knowledge of clubs north of the bogan proof fence, it just seems as though once one or two teams decide they want to go on a recruiting spree, it means there's a club that's facing shutting down.

Think there are plenty of reasons:

1. Lot of clubs in the area makes it very competitive.
2. Lack of juniors is also difficult.
3. Players want easy, instant success - they aren't willing to spend 2+ years working towards it.
4. Players seem to be like sheep these days, they just follow the herd... few blokes leave or go to a club, they wanna join em.
5. Money plays a factor, some clubs have a bigger budget than others.
6. Lure of playing in a higher div also occurs.
7. Attitude of players stinks - they expect the world - perfect club conditions, perfect coaches, perfect trainers, perfect training sessions.


Which is why im shocked that people arent lining up for Ingle Farm. You are the dream coach. Or so I have heard.

Honestly, after 3 winning seasons and being 2 kicks from a GF and D5 this year - I'm still trying to get my head around why everyone is on the move.

Hard not to take it personally to be honest. :(

I get that.

Swings and roundabouts.

No such thing as loyalty anymore.

It sucks when people shit on you, especially after putting a hell of a lot of time and effort into them.
Don't play games with a girl who can play 'em better...

How does Mawson Lakes (allegedly) folding work from a points perspective?

Despite being div 7 their A graders would be 3 points each elsewhere still right? Some of the clubs surrounding have already recruited several by the looks so how many can they really take on even if the 3 player rule was waived - assuming they would play A grade in a higher div which may not be the case.

Is this doc still relevant? Meaning D4 clubs and below are 2 pointers, not 3?

No it's not. No such thing as Category Leagues for several years. The most recent APPS document is always available on the Community Footy section of the SANFL website under Resources. Never trust any earlier version that might be found using Google. The same goes for most current Salary Cap rules.
