Am comfortable with a number of people receiving gratuities to express the club's appreciation however.

Yeah, Q, despite Bourke & Co shopping themselves around with a significant asking price, they decided to settle at Fitzroy for nothing out of love for the club and the game..

Wrong club.

Can categorically confirm that at least 1 club in div 6 doesn't pay players Q..

Haha. I know exactly what Bourke asked your mob for after they approached him, and given the figure bandied about earlier for Steele, it is far from 'significant'..

I can name two then.
Yes, they have in the past. Not now.

I understand about the reality of it and I'm not going to argue on the pros and cons. Just saying that from what I have heard about this Steele bloke is obvious that he can play. And if he's been offered that much then he is probably very good. So go try playing at a higher level or in the Barossa league or in the Hills league where you can get paid the same amount and play at a higher standard. He's playing below his standard.

And..... ? Wouldn't be the first, wont be the last.

Who gives a toss what standard he's at? There's nothing wrong with playing in the lower grades to have a kick with your mates and enjoy your footy. He gets compensated well for doing it, can't really blame the bloke.

Yeah. You're right eh?? But I bet the $$$$$ didn't help persuade him also.

f**k me!! Who cares about whose getting paid, how much they're getting paid or what division they're playing!

We all get it B4E - you dont agree with players being paid, especially in Div 6 and if they've got ability they should test themselves in higher grades... you've made your point, nothing it going to change, so can we get off this stupid roundabout discussing player payments?!

Sometimes people like getting the same money for effectively easier work in which they can be better at it in relation to their peers, and not have to overly challenge themselves physically, or time wise.. Im sure PLENTY of people out there would do the same and they would be lying if they told you otherwise

I'm just stating that $400 a game for Div 6 is insane. And from what I read and see of the bloke. He can play. And if he WANTS to play with his mates as they say he does. He would of done it for free. Not the added incentive of $400 a game.

Would he get $400 at a Div 1/2 club - No
would he get $500 plus at a country club - Yes (I think it was around $800 at Sedan for the 2 years he was there)

is he getting $400 at a Div 6 club - No (but you seem to be in the know as opposed to those actually in the know)

what I do know was he played for $0 in 2016, perhaps the Club is happy to reward him for his season this year and ward off all those pesky cashed up country clubs offering silly amounts of $$$ to Div 6 players

I'm only responding to a previous post when they mentioned he wasn't leaving and was offered $400 a game. That was where I based my statement from. From $0 to $400. That is fricken huge. BL must have a bit of extra coin to spare once all the rest left.
