What has Life Membership got to do with the points system?
Father/Son rule for the SACFL I think......
So apparently the rules state that if your father is a life member of a footy club then the son is a 0 point player. On the weekend "allegedly" The Shoes made their new Ruckman Mulroney's dad a life member because of his service in the Army. The guy has never ever been involved with Noarlunga footy club. Now technically Mulroney is a 0 point player. So technically Noarlunga are doing nothing wrong but Morally and Ethically there is a whole heap wrong with this. Main 2 would be de-valuing and spitting in the face of their worthy life members and secondly making a mockery of the already questionable points system.
If above is true, this opens up a massive can of worms.......
Is the rule to accommodate - Army service or playing Football whilst in the Army?
Hypothetically... Say a lad moves from one club to another,can his dad be made a life member of multiple clubs due to Army service / Army football???
If so .... Could you then technically have a "O" point player shopping himself around on the back of his dad's army service to many clubs.
Would love some clarification on this.
