He came into work the other day.

I would love to have one more season under him as coach just so I can wear his Lakers jacket at the club again.

And who might that be???

Starry's cousins. Nothing confirmed yet.

Can't believe that players in div 7 are getting paid well over a hundred a game. Where is footy heading,surely you can attract players to your club without offering ridiculous money.will be bloody cold training in the middle of winter at this club
.

Such is life.

You have to be joking? There is no way any players in Div7 should be getting paid at all let alone over a hundred bucks. What type of club would do this?

People wonder why clubs fade away and die!

This would have to be a joke?

D6...D7...what's the difference. You can't be telling me that nobody is getting coin at Mawson Lakes.

OR this could be the way the club is able to work its way up the Divisions, which is after all what all SAAFL clubs are trying to do. Maybe this club has exhausted all avenues in recruiting and has decided to fork out some coin to attract players that are going to help them win a flag, or at least make the GF so they can be promoted.

If its within your means to pay players why not use it to your advantage. You just want to make sure you recruit/pay the right type of player who supports the club off the field as much as he does on.

Small difference, maybe you guys just spend a bit more.

When in D6, we initially created a small and manageable budget in the effort of retaining our best players who were getting irrefusable offers from other clubs. The budget has been retained each year and used as seen fit by the Executive Committee and footballing personnel.

Are your concerns alleviated?
