Plus I'd start spending hundreds of dollars more on the club like I used to.

Under the new rules, which are due to come into effect from the start of the 2016 season, match-day payments will be limited to $500 per player and clubs will have an overall limit of $3000 for match payments per game. Country clubs will be permitted to pay a "marquee player" as much as $1000 a game as long as overall payments remain within the $3000 limit.
Post-match awards will be limited to $250, with no individual player to receive more than $150 in performance awards. Sign-on payments will also be banned, while regional clubs will be allowed to pay players a mileage allowance on top of match fees at 50 cents a kilometre for return trips of more than 100km.

100%. Just want to be able to support my team in a pure competition that is not compromised by two self-serving clubs who can't see past their own noses.
The standard will never return to the glory days ... but give us an even playing field and we'll all come back.
Great post to by JK regarding age of top up players.
There would be hope still for the League, if it were not for the deaf and blind men still running the competition and many of its clubs.

Why can we all see this but the numpties at the SANFL, the clubs and some supporters not understand that this is the only future path for success of the SANFL?
Too busy shoring up the chance of freebie corporate tickets at the Adelaide Oval I guess.

WTF Are you honestly talking about ???
Why would AFL players runaway from the above scenario.

Maybe read the comments
some people want to increase player wages to keep the best talent playing SANFL for longer instead of going to the country, and some want the SANFL to become more of a low key lower budget family type club. Both points are valid, but they are also incompatible.

That's not in itself a bad thing, but it will just have to be considered.

Ultimately though it is about playing on an even playing field, but it wouldn't be, the richer community clubs would be better resourced than the poorer community clubs and then the whole thing is funded by pokies and chook raffles.....
