Not just highly paid junior coaches... there are some highly paid junior footballers as well

What age group we talking?

Absolutely ridiculous

Absolutely ridiculous

Where? What league? What club?

This one.... but doubt it'd be the only league it's happening in.

If that's the case players and clubs should be sanctioned. Junior players should play for their postcode. Demolish the points and cap and I believe those three things would go a long way to rectifying some of our current issues. Also, forget about the divisive academies that deem that you have no pathway at 11 years of age!

The points system encourages clubs to ‘entice ‘ junior players from other clubs and using ‘ enticement$ ‘ to attract juniors has been in vogue since the points systems introduction .

I don’t subscribe to this. What clubs?

Elmore announced the recruitment of several Echuca players to their u-18s this year. I don’t think they’re travelling down for a pie and coke. In saying that, it’s probably more out of necessity for Elmore than gaming the system. I’m also of the understanding Kyabram approached several footballers across the district with incentives to play in their u18s. I’d be shocked if there aren’t numerous other clubs doing it in the region. Just another disgraceful consequence of the points system.

Better hit the link ....

Not going to name club because they probably aren't the only ones.
And if they chose to go down that path that's up to them.

I think that's a smart move by Elmore. There are too many kids and not enough spots in Echuca U/18 every year. They would regularly tell 10+ kids they need to find another club to play at and I think they cap their numbers.
I'd rather see every kid playing every week they can.
If Elmore can entice a few of them to stay it might be a genius move.

I can sincerely recall back in the late. 90s and early 2000 when I had certain ties with Gvl 3rds and the U16 s there were quite a few known cases where players were enticed from one club to another not with money but with expensive tool boxes or gifts of that type. Dont worry it’s still going on
