My understanding is a couple of clubs have minimum payments 200 -300. I'd say a few young kids may not get this if playing up but it's alot of coin for below par players. All the best to them if it's been handed out.
In saying that it's unfortunately what they need to do to get 22 on the park.

The worst players at clubs like Yarrawonga are still getting paid that money or more. It’s all relative, it’s a lower standard so lower quality players are taking the money.
There would be players in the Geelong league thinking some players in the Central Murray are ridiculously over paid for the quality they are comparatively too.

If Wade is getting $50,000 at Nully then they could instead pay every reserves player $150 a game and the club would probably be better off too

I'd seriously doubt this, theres no way golden rivers clubs could afford this for 22 players a week. That's 80k a year just on base payments. Let alone paying a coach and players more. I'd be surprised if golden rivers clubs with dwindling volunteers are having their senior footy side pay more than 75k to get out for the season. There's no money in milking cows and there's no large cropping like in the mallee.

Yea your 100% right every club over pays recruits for different reasons, suit structures, key position or just need to fill a team etc. I just wonder how long it can last as the level of some players being "recruited" is not worth the coin.

Still plenty of large cropping around these clubs and it only takes 1 or 2 that don't want to see there kids/grandkids have to travel into cmfl or north Central to watch them play therefore they are keeping clubs alive by paying the dollars.
Which I totally understand and would do the same if I was in that position but they just have to get better recruiting.
Nulli paid overs for a long time and still are with players but they are competitive players so they are at least getting reward for dollars- now merging to create long jeopardy for locals
 
Keen to hear the thoughts from the local supporters on the standard and quality of the umpiring going around country football? With the AFL chopping and changing and the ‘elite’ struggling with consistency, is this flowing into our local football?

What more can be done to assist our local groups with their umpiring, especially with the amount of $$ being thrown around by the clubs for players.

Have posted this in a couple of other groups around the region to get a good gauge on it all.

Got the sooks up after being dropped is what I heard

Where did you hear this mate? He’s a young kid I doubt he would be just leaving coz he apparently cracked the sooks about being dropped. He’s got plenty of footy ahead of him. Doubt he would just ditch his home club which his family have a rich history at, just because he got dropped.

Was said at Murrabit on Semi final day, where they played Hay. That he only wanted to play seniors, then was dropped back to the 3rds and was sooking it up.

How did he go in the 3rds?

Pretty well from what I saw, I went over to the netball at halftime. Hay had a kid running with him and he was beating him convincingly, mind you they all were they won by 100+

Yeah not too sure about that mail mate, I don’t think he was sooking it up, I believe he would’ve been a bit annoyed, as he’s a talented footballer but I’d say he knows he’s got a long career ahead, but who knows mate, maybe it did ruffle some feathers
