These boys have been spoken to in prior seasons and know a few blokes at the club. I believe they are tired off the lack of commitment at Goolwa, particularly on the track and this season looked no different with a coach almost quitting. Impressed to see we had 35 blokes on the track on a Tuesday night and they are top blokes from what I saw last night.
I for one hate the $$$ in football, but it's amazing it even gets brought up now when it's widespread. Also don't forget we lost our best player 2 weeks before season started for $$$ reasons, so we can't sit back and do nothing.
Also freed up $$ to then committ to Yeomans demands??
If IB dont have the finances that some other clubs have they may need to do some solid fundraising. Without knowing the full details I am sure that the "new" players will need to have their contracts paid out to their previous club (as per Ben Yeomans' situation in 2009 with South Adelaide). That wont be a cheap exercise. Clause 2 of the Community Football Contract states that no player shall apply for a clearance while under their agreement.
Those contracts aren't worth the paper their written on LF. To be honest I dont really understand why theyre signed full stop.
Many a time our footy club has had players "under contract" sign with other clubs and there is not a thing you can do about it
Accoding to the Community Football Board (as per the beginning of the 2010 season), they have indicated that the contracts they have made available are legally binding documents. The boys going to IB would have a bit of an understanding of contactual law after recent experiences. Many people are stating that this "happens in country footy" and "footy is a cut throat business" therefore I think people will understand that we will be most likely pretty firm on this issue
