Have thought that for years, why would anyone train 5 days a week get paid $50-100 a week with no guarantee of ever getting a league game?

I would use the same argument I use when saying why SANFL reserves standard is better than the NEAFL. Based on overall fitness and skill SANFL ressies teams would easily beat an A1 side. Yes every A1 side has 5-6 players who are league standard and 1-2 who could be guns at SANFL league level. Just like every SANFL reserves teams as 5-6 players who are easily league standard and sometimes if they are coming back through injury or are youngsters on teh way up are possible guns at League level.
Where SANFL reserves team have the advantage is that the bottom 5-6 players at an A 1 senior team would struggle to play ressies footy as witness by then number of players who play decent amatueur/country level footy who try out at league clubs each year but are cut by April or leave on their own accord when they can't make a Reserves team.
it depth of quality in a reserves SANFL team which makes ressies standard better than A1. it is also the reason why fringe ressises players leave SANFL clubs to play at Amamteur level as they can get the coin with the required weekly effort.
