In my time I would have played with some players on big $$$ but once you cross the white line in the heat of battle it doesnt mean a lot. Every club does it (some to a greater extent than others), but all clubs have a full contingent of junior teams and a large contingent of local players playing senior footy, so bolstering your player stocks both in numbers and quality in my opinion is ok. If your committee works hard to make money and chooses to spend it on players without neglecting the other areas of the club then so be it. As an example if Willunga paid every player in their team $1000 per game it would even be a concern? Their club runs smoothly and they have won 5 flags in a row. Can we talk about other stuff rather than money??
A touch ironic that blokes from Goolwa and the Creek don't want to talk about money...
Just stirring, but it is a part of footy these days and I think it's interesting how clubs manage it. WOW is right about the points system only inflating individual payments. Golly there is some big coin being offered around!!. I wonder wether 3 better than average recruits is better than 1 super star but clubs don't really have that option any more. It's a shame that Victor had to turn players away this year when you consider they only finished 5th.
from what i hear, victor will be begging for those blokes to come back next year. could be a mass walk out and a few retirments on the cards, also a few following harty to goolwa if the club can get them in under the points. Bays should announce their new coach end of the week and have signed a centre half foward and onballer from what i have heard around the traps
