Is Darren hare also a done deal at peake?? I've heard a fella from noarlunga also heading that way and a couple guys from Div 2, team unknown ??

Yep ... $ammy has been busy and picked up a few more quality players to add to Rigney, Phillips and Baker. Expect to be in the hunt next year. The last time $ammy went two years without a flag, a tsunami was predicted off the Bay.

Is that not a tad strange after a loss? Must be pretty confident about this week.

The import rule in essence is the points system is it not? It limits the amount of imports you have. Without players attracting points the prices will still be the same as now as its supply and demand.

I think the country clubs/associations should band together to stand against the SANFL and SAAFL from using these bullying tactics. How many players from the country have moved down to Adelaide for work/uni and signed up at a city club? Hundreds of thousands.

Who are they to tell clubs that they are not allowed to try and recruit the best players they possibly can to their club!

Sorry for bombing the HFL page, perhaps it needs its own thread on this topic!

What the salary cap will do is destroy competitions like KNTFL, RMFL, GSFL, YPFL etc etc as those clubs will not be able to attract a certain calibre of player for $500 for the travel. Fact. Are they going to reduce the metro competitions to a $200 salary cap to keep the other affiliated leagues at least able to compete in the market for high quality players? why not be smart and have a salary cap geographically focused whilst keeping the points system. Anything over 100km affords extra $300 per 100km. Say Bordertown, 3 hours travel (close to 300km?) attracts $600 giving them $1100 to attract some players within their point allocation.
