I wonder how much these clubs are given by the AFL to pay players? Would the reason why the AFL wants to see the SANFL lower the salary cap be to drive more players into the NEAFL to a)increase the profile of the sport in this area and b)lower the cost to the AFL in the NEAFL.
There is no logical reason for a player to play in the NEAFL especially if they have aspirations of being redrafted
