SAAFL Div 6 2008

[Scorpion]

I always wonder why the issue/whinge about clubs who pay players gets brought up. As previously stated - times are changing, and if clubs want to be successful, they need to do what they can. It shouldn't matter to anyone else. If a club is in a financial position to pay players, then good luck to them. People seem to get stuck into/mock other clubs for paying their players, or using it as an excuse as why they get beaten. It may be a reason, but is no use complaining about it, as the clubs are not doing anything illegal, extreme, or unheard of.../rant

Good point - if clubs can afford it then why not.

[Q.]

I only see one problem and that is if it causes disharmony or division. If paid players put the effort in on the track and support club functions and fundraisers like other player I don't see this problem arising.

Quichey I have no doubt WOS are too and your ruckman plays for nothing does he not..????

[Q.]

He plays for my affections

No one has ever been paid to play at Houghton.

Yeah thats fair enough, but they are internal issues for clubs to worry about, if they choose to go down that path. I'm talking mainly of people from a club getting stuck into other clubs for doing it. Couldn't see why it should bother them.

[Q.]

We just want something to bitch about

if people complaining about how much players get paid in div 6, look at how much money gets dished out in div 1 & some 2 clubs, players that sit on the bench for the whole game still get paid , then go out to country league and there alot more $$$

dont see how clubs can complain about other div 6 clubs paying 1 or 2 players , there nothing stopping them from paying players,

if you dont have the money get the pokies or traditional way of sponsors

[hawkseye]

I dont think amateur players should be paid at all. Only if you earn it in the best players.

unfortunely that is in the world where lawyers dont exist, could happen if u tell the government that paying players promotes binge drinking

[Q.]

You over-simplify with your fiscal advice Boldie. It is probably easier for a sporting club to attract sponsors rather than a standalone football club. Although our Vice President has done a tremendous job this year.

[Scout]

Ok the Victor boys playing for glory are they..and Harvey on nothing ..you can tell me Bentley who was on close to 3 hundreed at Bridgewater last year thought hey I will play for squat..same applies for Ohara..

Hope Valley all playing for nothing.

But when push comes to shove all teams are trying to jump divs and if you have to pay you have to pay.
