Its a stupid idea. Firstly, its naive to think that clubs are only spending around 70k - more like 120-200k. Secondly, get Douttas and Craigieburn and probably Oak Park up into the highest group, Craigieburn would spend far more than most EDFL clubs - they have their own poker machines remember!
Why not just have marbi park in its own league for 200k and over a year?
This is something the Government needs to address, X amount of dollars from all Pokies Venues have to be spent in the community they exist in. Problem is for local sporting Clubs getting access to the right Australian Tax Office status = deductible gift recipients http://www.ato.gov.au/nonprofit/content.asp?doc=/content/34490.htm is almost immpossible. While Surf Clubs, Scouts groups and such have no such problem Local sporting clubs go without.
