It seems on face value it was a good idea, but sounds like the clubs have been given an inch and have taken a mile, maybe it needs to be tightened to a certain age eg 21.
I agree I think the points system is a good idea, people tend to forget that metro clubs were outbidding every country club. I think it needs to be reviewed though, I'd like to see clubs need to have X amount of 1 point players, eg Kyabram need to have 15, I point players, how many points they get with other 7 who cares, as long as their within the salary.
Salary should be 100k for metro and the further out of Melbourne or more remote you are, you get an additional salary to pay for travel costs, up to 20k.
Also there should be stricter rules of the ammos and their points, what they can get away with, because Gil, Andrew Dillion etc are old boys is unbelievable

Spot on Ultra… it to support the minor clubs who don’t have junior under age below U18s ; not the other way round. So these small towns often have larger towns like Ky where kids start in U14s. This ensure the smaller league clubs aren’t penalised by having to recruit out of big towns like Ky. Many of the Lancy, Gig and Stanhope players first started in Ky Under 14s. So recruiting locals who started in Ky would penalise them points wise. The hard part is they can only nominate one town. Merrigum nominated Tatura but. Any of their players are from Ky juniors, so I believe their points are more! Glad to be corrected if a few statements here misleading.
Just an over rider for those who don’t yet know, I’m one of the few posters on here who is a fan of the point system, just not how it’s managed. I won’t go over my reasons again. A few of us have decided to respectfully agree to disagree.
