That there is no sliding scale on the salary cap from D1 to D7 remains truly ridiculous.
That the worst performing D7 side can have a nominally equivalent value to the D1 premiers is just wrong, will force clubs to extinction and contributes to the culture that Bedge describes above.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, but D1 should have the full $4k/$500 that BLG/SFL/HFL etc. have, D2 $3,500/$450, D3 $3,000/$400, D4 $2,500/$350
and so on, so forth.
There should also be a reigning in on points to prevent D1 clubs using a higher salary cap to headhunt D5-7 juniors in the above-mentioned hypothetical.

Yes and no.
If lower ranked clubs source sponsors and have money to splurge then good on them, if that's how they wish to roll to get up the grades well then that's their prerogative, I do get your point though.

Would I accept money to play footy if offered? Probably
Would I ask for money to play footy? Nope.
People are different though, i'm not driven by $$ - have had plenty of nice offers to play cricket over the years, but never have, nor would I ever accept money to play cricket. Just me though.

How much of this money actually comes from the junior section of the club?

I think this is why some of the clubs that have large numbers of juniors are also the higher div clubs. Can keep topping up with the best players as the dollars are constantly coming in. Then juniors l/parents want to involved in that club.
I see that at CLG with Mitcham, Goodwood and Unley all close by. They are the ‘cool’ clubs.

I played my first game of A grade at 15 and received $30 for both games. Growing up there I just always wanted to play A grade football, would have done it for nothing.
