Captain from an insider it seemed like common sense for those 2 to get on board and we certainly did and still do want them to play footy back at Goolwa. I am sure they will be met with at the end of the year. I think it came down to the fact that there was some big money for them out there (even more than they were on at Victor) and they are young guys who probably would find the money quite attractive. We couldnt pay them because then we'd be obliged to pay everyone. You have to draw the line somewhere. Having said that we might need to come up with a payment scheme for some of these young guys.
Very well said, I believe McLarens have such a scheme. We at the mudlarks do"nt. Surely local players would have an idea on how hard it is for clubs to raise the money needed and still stay afloat.
at the bay all a grade players get 25 bucks for a game. but only a grade. obviously paid players get there $$$ but the locals all get 25. if you haven't paid your subs then the 25 comes off your subs and you get a receipt instead. i think the system works well because it means that home games everyone stays around and has a meal and a few beers putting at least their 25 back over the bar.
