Kickinit, still would have thrashed you muppets no matter the points situation.

who am I associated with? closes team i'm associated with in div3 is SMOSH and because I have mates that play out there. So before you go running your mouth make sure you have your facts straight. Oh and by the way you still havent answered my question from the div3 thread. Seeing that going over the 15 points was a "accident" you going to enlighten us on what happen?

Its only a stupid poll because everyone knows that they do.. its like a prostitute saying she is virgin

She lied to me?

Im sorry to break it to you Jimmy.. and she wasnt truthfull either when she said you were amazing and so big!

.. dont worry i've been caught out before on these lies lol

Maybe that's how Uni pay their players

[The Big Shrek]

If clubs in Div 4 play ridiculous money, do we care? Uni are trying to get back in Div 1. You do not go there without paying.

I find it laughable that narrow minded people have this opinion. It’s just a reflection of your own club’s values. Clubs like SHOC and Uni probably could pay players, but choose not to. Don’t want to. They’d rather play in D2,3,4 or wherever, rather than compromise this fact. I know past and present players and board members at both clubs and they are proud that players play for the sake of playing. Imagine that?! As it happens, both clubs have recently lost a number of players to the lure of the country footy $$. Clubs like yours Shrek will always have a chip on their shoulder because the only way to win a flag is by spending big. This dates back to the days when the SAAFL was meant to be amateur and everyone knew of the ridiculous money spent to get players to Lionel Ave. So what happened when the well ran dry? What a slide! So now as you climb back up, a new rule has come in to stop clubs buying premierships and oops – you cry, “We made a mistake!” Unlike the previous ‘amateur’ and then ‘salary cap’ rules, this one can’t be hidden under the table.

Just looked through all of your previous posts mate. Very negative.

My guess is you hate all these clubs because you couldn't get picked in the As no matter how many times you changed clubs.

She did say I was bigger than you though

I'd feel bad for you if you weren't

I'll second that and the funniest thing is now Kilburn will have to pay a player in the B grade

Don't know what happens these days but back in the early 90's when Noel annear left riverside to coach Uni for big money, he took a few players with him. I know that those players were getting paid. The committee at the time wasn't entirely happy but they accepted it, especially when they started winning games.

Untrue, shocs never paid and played in 2 Div 1 GFs and lost last years by a kick. It can be done, players have to play for the right reasons.

The club might not pay but the players certainly do get looked after. It might not be cash but the incentives are very good. Job openings have an amazing way of happening if you play for the right college club and are well connected. Adelaide College never paid their players but if you wanted a teaching post in the city you played for them or off to the country you went. That is a fact until somebody called their bluff and threatened to expose them.

So the college might not pay direct but as i have always said
"It is a good career move to play for Uni" or any other college side

[teaoby]

the "old school tie" payment scheme is a way that clubs like Uni, SHOC's, PAC, Saints get away with either not paying cash or very little.

some would consider getting a $50k job a year getting paid by the club and in essence it is. but at the same time 9 out of 10 blokes have the degree and are just given a foot in the door. which is one of the main reasons parents send their kids to these types of schools in the first place.

eg. seb paynter this year went to Uni because they found him a job. We tried the same thing with Seb (hes an old scholar 0 pointer and his brother was going to play were ever he did) and he said he'd honor the job that uni got him.

there are always stories from mates of mates who know someone who is getting cash from Uni. but roger me if I've ever met anyone who actually is.
