In what world is this a preferable reality?
the sad reality of equal capping div 1 to div 7 down, is that the cream of adelaide's metropolitian total footballers, the top 5% who are actually worthy of being paid, are unfortunately unable to be facilated here because they are classed as too good and too expensive. Or in another sense - not welcome here
consequently then they have to go to the barossa, great southern or whatever league
Then throughout the year channel 9 do their tv snippets, and we all pay $15 bucks to get into a div 1 grand final... "yeah C9AFL its all so great", but it truly isnt because the cream of the crop are being excluded off and we are all forced to watch a sub-standard division 1
