There are a lot of things discussed Dogwatcher, it doesn't necessarily mean that any clubs agree with it.
The Salary Cap is still the most absurd thing to ever be introduced for country football in South Australia.
Imagine owning for example a local real estate company-
The Government contacts your business to dictate that you can only give your best employee $500 a week and under no circumstances you are to pay any employee anymore than that even though one or two salesmen are selling the most houses for their business.
Yep... ridiculous really...
If you classify football players as 'employees' then you should be submitting paperwork to the ATO and paying superannuation. We are at the point the cash payments are equal to the weekly payments for a Monday to Friday job.
Can't have it both ways......you are either an amateur sports club or Sports business which one do you want to be?
And if the club does submit their paperwork and pay superannuation?
All these ridiculous rules being put in place, first the points system, now a salary cap. Anything else before they completely kill country footy?
Go and check the payments given out in Victoria for some country football clubs, allegedly most clubs start at $300k a year. That's an issue, not the SA Country Clubs who are paying $100k a year.
One club in Victoria allegedly paid $480k this year.
