2026 Adelaide Footy League - Division 5

Really don’t want to be rude but they’re such dumb comments.

With that mindset we may as well have no rules, regs, policies in place.

You would hope majority of clubs would abide by the parameters expected of them.. if you need to spend more than $3,500 per week on players then you got problems anyway.

Of course clubs will work around it, of course some clubs might completely disregard.. but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try and implement stuff.

Anyway I’m bored of this discussion I was fair intoxicated when I posted it last night haha!

Greenacres for the flag.

the first time i heard people got paid for footy was against Torrens valley when Gary Hughes was running the show.
I was shocked at the amount and at 18 felt good about beating a guy who was on $700 a week, didn't make me any richer but definitely gave the hecklers on the side line some ammunition.
Wouldnt players at a club know whether guys are worth the $ based on performance and expect better output from the big $$ makers, is that what causes guys to grab and go and only play one year before the next bidding war over summer.

Players were getting paid in the 70's in the Hills.

The above points are all mute points.

The league can implement any rules or systems they want, there has always been and always will be 'Brown Paper Bag Deals' and clubs rorting the system, if any of you think this doesn't happen you really need to get your heads out of the sand.

And I know full well some of you on here are complete hypocrites!

Well then the answer is dont have a salary cap.

Some people will always drink drive and get away with it so why have drink driving laws?

Some people will always speed and get away with it so why have speed limits?

Some people get away with murder, should we still prohibit that?
