Not questioning Solly's ability at all, or the fact that being in a poor team made it hard for him, but if you look at Ettridge from the year before at United, he kicked 70 odd goals in a team that was a lot worse. From the sidelines, his desire didn't seem quite enough, although this is only my opinion. Possibly a reason he's going back to Salisbury though? (not having a go at all, just what I thought from the few games I saw him)

From the few games I saw Ettridge isn't in the same league as Solly, Solly also played in the midfield parts of this year didn't he.
Solly kicked 39 and was in the best 7 times this year. Ettridge kicked 22 and was not in the best once. Could say Ettridges desire wasn't quiet enough aswell

A bit of perceived control on clubs that go over the top on recruitment and payments can't be a bad thing eh.

They're kidding themselves. Laws have been in place around tax evasion for ever and a day. The lack of investigation and capacity to do so is the issue.
Everyone knows which clubs are the main offenders (and in most cases we know exactly where/who the money is coming from and who the players are with their hand out), so if the SANFL and SACFL are actually serious about this issue why not investigate these clubs and start pinging them. Because its too hard and they don't have the resources/capability to do so. I fully appreciate that the managers of country footy in SA are attempting to tackle this issue, its great, but until they actually fine a club, whether it be financially or via premiership points, nothing will change. If and when that occurs, country footy in SA will have taken a massive step .

If the family enjoys going to their sport on Saturdays, does a club really need to throw around volunteer/donor generated money for their own self indulgence?
