I'm can say my relationship with Normo is pretty close, I know the deals, I know what Caloundra threw at Normo and the Jed Turner debacle. Honestly it's no ones business and clubs deals should not be spoken of or on forums. If a club offers a player 50000, big deal, help the player. Great. As long as the club can afford it and survives, good luck to the club and player. I believe any business deal, football, work or wages is between the Body and the person. No one else's concern or business to get involved.
Wrong competition mate, next div down.Except, you know, it's supposed to be an amateur competition.

Agree X-F, but dont worry yourselves that payment didnt happen, clubs in this comp do not pay anyone that sort of money, I can assure you.That sort of money being thrown around a comp like this isn't what we want or need! It just creates a gulf between the clubs that have money and the ones that don't! A perfect example of this is the Ovens & Murray comp in Vic in which Albury & Yarrawonga have it seems an unlimited amout of cash to pay high profile recruits which has resulted in them playing off in the last 6 GF's.

Someone's having a lend of SC.
Caloundra had, I don't know if he is still there, a represtivtive of your club throwing contracts around willy nilly. Over inflating any player on the coast. So don't you think that one character isThat sort of money being thrown around a comp like this isn't what we want or need!

no it was closer to 25k, and then we have the Jackson Ryan deal, don't go there. HugeRighto
We play footy to win premierships so if a club wants to spend money to get the best players, then thats ok by me. so caboolture don't pay any players at all. If Normo got 10k sign on Im never taken my wallet to footy again.So we're in a professional competition, are we? What's the salary cap then? What meausres does AFLQ employ to ensure a level playing field? Just because 'amateur' isn't in the comp name, doesn't mean it isn't one.
Whether it's true or not in this particular case, a $10K signing bonus (with match payments supposedly on top) for one player in a third tier competition is just ridiculous. That's the sort of money league players are earning in the Queensland Cup (only a semi-pro comp itself), and we are a long way short of that standard.
I agree GK, to a point... If a club can attract match winners for cash & achieve success and without it being deemed "illegal" then what are we discussing.... Personally as long as the sustainability is there then kudos....however if paying some guns means winning a flag then dropping to a 1 side comp due to lack of numbers ieWe play footy to win premierships so if a club wants to spend money to get the best players, then thats ok

$10 million over 9 years?Caloundra had, I don't know if he is still there, a represtivtive of your club throwing contracts around willy nilly. Over
inflating any player on the coast.
So don't you think that one

And Danny, of course $$ changes hands in this comp; Caloundra are spending a fair bit btw , and it has never been set up to be a pure amateur comp. I would suggest if Caboolture aren't paying 1 player this year then you are the only club in this comp not doing so.

Did he actually take that money BOC??Fwiw robina have gone to a pretty heavily scaled incentive type set up for Bog awards. This gives everyone the opp to earn some cash.
Granted we are all here to win a flag but history suggests trying to buy one with a cpl of top end guns has never worked and rips a club apart.
Probably cliched but champion team vs team of champions and all that.
I mean look at the Andy Lovett experiment. Quick way to drop between 5-10k for zero return.
We had a rep of our club doing something like that but in his defence he wasn't throwing a heap of money around. The recruits that we have got this year have been set up with jobs and that's about the extent of it. We are trying to build a really good family culture at the club. We have 3 sets of brothers in the senior club and a great junior set up which is great for the future moving forward
Reckon work, by and large, is the biggest incentive for most guys. In fact think non cash payments of some sort is better than cash.
