Never said the dad was big noting his son.. I asked his dad, he informed me. Given the family has been involved in the club for a long time, his daughter still plays and he was eager to have his son come back.. he has no reason to lie.

Zero chance.
Only stirring mate.......we've discussed but before i agree community footy has some issues when it comes to player payments and structures causing a massively toxic culture.

They're not the only club in that division throwing the bucks around, have heard of some silly offers to 17/18/19 year old kids.

What message does that send the kids? At such a young age.. that they can run around the next 10-12 years with zero loyalty demanding top dollar as an average footballer?

Honestly, I always thought playing for big bucks was something you did after you won a few flags, played several seasons at your local club and were looking for a easy gig in your late 20's. Not fresh out of junior grades...

Someone once told me that if you move to a club from under 18's (Club X 2023) to your 1st season of senior footy (Club Y 2024) then you are a zero pointer, I have no idea if its true however some country clubs have used this to attract talent at zero points and throw in a bit of cash.
Can anyone confirm, could that be what is going on here?

Pretty sure that is correct.

Yep if you haven't played any A grade or SANFL-system footy then you'd be a 0.
