We are probably at a stage then, where funding from the SANFL is required for mandatory medical officers at each game. One club cant have an edge when it comes to game day safety.
As Knowledge has told us, in glory times past, with the networking abilities of the SANFL clubs, students and professionals flocked to league clubs to hone their skills. Besides the professional self satisfaction gained from volunteering, there was community recognition and the advantages it presents. This recognition is fading as Gen X drifts off into middle age and the SANFL loses its relevance or prestige.
