I'm not really sure, obviously it isn't a gold mine out there but we have list spots to fill.

Yeah.. There isn't much around
Unless they are better than Shaw and Trent I can’t see why we would bother unless they were super solid citizens

Delisted Ryan Davis has signed with the Sharks. Cracking bloke, glad he’s stayed on the GC.

It’s funny how a lot of players after they are delisted stay on the coast. Yet no one likes it up here

No they’ve offered him a contract so he hasn’t been delisted. He’s in the same situation as swallow, as the period for delistings is over.
Has more to do with the 3rd party sponsorships players get going back that adds $$$$$ to their wage than the GC itself.
What sort of 3rd party sponsorships could a player such as Davis get, out of curiosity?

You're proving his point...
I think if you finish 3rd or 4th you get to play a grand final at your home ground-oh no- wait....wrong team

Apart from Saad and maybe Joyce - Do you really think he has? I think he's picked up a lot of junk in rookie drafts overall.
The rookie draft is junk that's why they slipped that far. Wasn't Hall in the rookie draft as well? Spencer another one who even though was an academy player wasn't obvious. Even Davis played some games, Macpherson is still around. Most don't even get 1 game at other clubs and considering how many top picks we've had to hold off until the rookie draft would be difficult i think that's where he's done his best work.
???
Sorry??
I'm interested to know what would be an example of a 3rd party sponsorship. There is no 'point'.
Yeah I’m hoping someone gives you. Sensible reply too. It’s a good question.
The point was players like being here on the Coast but its the lure of 3rd party sponsorship- sportsmanship nights, appearances, media etc that often drives players back to Melbourne.
You need to re-read the post
Davis is happy to be here because no-one's slipping him 10k for opening a chicken shop in Altona Meadows if he goes back to Melbourne
Probably on better money at Southport than the VFL too
Thanks I now totally understand. It reinforces how unreal it is up here that’s many stay rather than get better money in the VFL.
I wonder what Southport pays its players though out of curiosity. Does anyone know?
Thanks.
I thought he was saying there were 3rd party sponsorships keeping the players on the Coast. Got me wondering what they could be.
Daniel getting the gig at Southport no doubt was a big reason Davis also headed there (but the $$ another).
Think he may have gotten more at quite a few Vic country clubs though, so may be enjoying the GC lifestyle too!
$200-300.... $300-500.... a few $500+

No chance
Hopefully someone on our board actually has an answer for us

Local levels get paid that much.

I may be wrong but the salary cap for NEAFL teams is 200 k , the break down would be hard to guess.

Nice reply. A lot of effort went in so I'll retract my earlier claim of 1 in 3 as far as this list is concerned, although we could go back further to find some horrible washouts. But let be honest here, Schache and Bennell belong in the failure basket because they didn't work out for the club that spent the pick, while I think you're being too generous with others.
Walker was good without being #2 exceptional
Thomas was great, but only at Collingwood for about 6 seasons.
Petracca and Taranto are too early to tell, but in Timmy's case the Giants paid a higher price than just #2 to trade up.
Kelly, Coniglio, Natanui, Cotchin, Roughead and Wells were worth it as elite players
You have 8 players worth the price and 8 that clearly weren't despite mitigating circumstances. Those are good odds, but I prefer the Weller trade, which did actually come with pick #40 so it is more like trading pick #4 in points index terms.

Gee that's cheap.
I remember back In about 2005 we were flying down about 5 ntfl players from Darwin to play footy in the Wimmera league in western victoria. They were on about $500 a game + free accommodation & travel
