Given many of them are good mates you'd think they'd sacrifice the money for the opportunity to play together.
Lycett just finished a 5 x 600k deal, should be ok.

Good luck to those at GFC as they seem to be rocking along and many will be interested in following their progress in 2024

Glenunga and Golden Grove, to name two, are showing the fruits of the labour of hard work establishing a club that players (including juniors) want to play at. Sure, you get some college kids who end up playing with their Old Scholars team, but others stay the journey and end up playing with their mates at the Club.
Those other clubs you've mentioned are examples of one-hit wonders that fall by the wayside after their mercenaries move elsewhere.

The quality of players/people involved at both clubs.
The fact that some juniors will play for their Old Scholar teams, instead of their junior Club.
The other clubs were one-hit wonders.
All of the above?
I'd suggest your intimacy with Glenunga would be limited to a couple of years and even less with Golden Grove.,

Are these offers coming from AdlFl clubs? I hear about them from/of players in country leagues. Where; mostly I suspect they've added a bit of mayo to get more from an Adelaide based club, but this is surprising given the recent Gaza happenings.

I said "intimately involved with the SAAFL / AdFL" not either club
That either have been good for 10 years (although you may have only meant Glenunga)
I reckon both have really only got their $hit together in the past 2 maybe 3 years.
Not 10 years - and my opinion is based on different reasons for both of them

I dont have a hard copy of every Annual Report so I'll just wing it with what I have
GG won the 2008 D5 Premiership
2009 - in D4
Although I dont have the records, I reckon:
1. They went up to D3 in 2010 and went back down to D4 in 2012 or 2013
2. They went up to D3 in 2017 - so that took 8 years to stick in D3
The 10 years starts in 2014
2014 - GG were in D4
2018 - Played in D3
2020 - won D3 Premiership (but an * year for everyone as no promotion / relegation)
2021 - limited season so another * year
2022 - won D3 Premiership - promoted to D2!
2023 - won D2 Premiership
2014 - 2017 (4 seasons) D4
2018 - 2022 (5 seasons) D3: 2022 - D3 Premiers
2023 - D2 - D2 Premiers
Overall, it took 14 seasons to get from D4 to D2
From 2009 D4 season, 2 clubs have made it to D1
From the 2014 season, 1xD4 and 3xD3 clubs have gone on to play D1 football
Very good last 2-3 of years
And looks like a good year next year
