Except where the reality winds up is that D5 clubs are now taking multiple blokes straight out of League Football with no other connection to the Club. Blokes whose ability would at least appear to exceed D5

Why play higher when you can get the same $$ at D7 as D1.. or perhaps they're getting more in the lower grades than they're worth in the higher grades.. money for jam.

This is it for mine.
At Div 2, 10 players might be splitting the $3,000 per week.
At Div 5, the SANFL player can take $2,000 of the 3k without anyone really questioning it.

Sorry mate, that probably came across harsher than I intended and I was replying to the man behind Trader a little bit.Trader wrote:morell wrote:You lack basic level empathy Trader and your privilege taints the way you think.
C'mon Morgs, just cause I don't agree with you doesn't mean you need to have a swipe at me personally.
As you've said several times on here, if we didn't have different opinions a forum would be a very boring place.
This is a fair question and its something that we struggle with internally in terms of positioning ourselves within the marketplace. Are we happy to just be kick and catch? Or do we strive for more professionalism?Trader wrote:To avoid banging on when we clearly aren't going to come to an agreement, I'm happy to agree to disagree on the economics of amateur football talent.
However, can you please explain to me (as someone who clearly doesn't understand lower grade footy), why does Mitchell Park need to buy a whiting or 3?
You talk about the need to maintain lower grades as places for social footy and gateways for people to join the game and hopefully move up. I agree with this completely. What I don't understand is why that requires Whiting to occur? Can't they simply be 22 unpaid blokes running around having a kick and a catch?

Its not. There should be a sliding scale IMO.jo172 wrote:What really loses me is that all Divisions have the same salary cap with the natural implication being that the gap between D1 and D7 should be as narrow as possible.
In what world is this a preferable reality?

I'm not trying to be a smarty but is there anyone even good anuth in div 7 to play div 1???
