I've been consistently led to believe on this site that players want to play in the BLG for it's superior atmosphere.
Weird that's no longer the case
Some are mercenries, see players at South Gawler that change clubs every year
The right ones play for the atmosphere and keep returning to the same club year afyer year, pay or no pay, see Tanunda, Nuri Angaston
Good to see you casually throw angaston in there. Had 1 good year and coincidentally the same year the cheque book opened. I'm sure borholm summerton and Shannon signed on for the atmosphere. Good luck to clubs that can afford to outlay that much money each year but no one is buying the play for atmosphere crap. I speak to bomber regularly and I'm sure he'll tell me he loves it so much he can't wait to play for free again in 2021 because of the atmosphere. In fact not sure he's getting $0 in 2020.

Well they are all comiong back so.... Your right he'd be getting travel money and a steak and if he plays well he'll get a bit of drinking money. Fact remains most clubs have a very good retention rate once they get players that fit in

These clubs have been blatantly breaching the salary cap when there was one, no reason they won't continue to do so in spite of the new rule for 2020

Just an interesting question to those I’m sure have an answer for. What happens if a player, or several players, test positive to Covid19 in Adelaide Footy League.

We shouldn’t dive down the rabbit hole of “what if’s”
Positive vibes only good Yank x

Despite there being no cases in the community for 2 months here....
Same thing that would happen at the supermarket, office, Bunnings etc etc except it would be much easier to identify who was at a footy ground

Understand all that Dutchy, I was thinking more along the lines of we open our borders, let the other States in, especially Victorians, then an outbreak comes and players get infected. Does it mean we shut down clubs until an outcome is reached. How does it affect fixtures, do we shut down the comps, that type of thing. Let’s face it no league has AFL resources.
I think IF there was another case, we let it run it’s course. We had low numbers to begin with, we are currently at zero, should we receive one now you’d think it would be pretty easy to apply some measures around that person/club to minimise the impact.
It’s not going to go away any time soon, but I think we are in as good a position as anyone to move forward.
Play on.

Indeed, shame on any club that might not have the immediate dexterity to turn on the radius of a five cent coin as to an ever evolving and unprecedented situation.
