Come on this is an overreaction. Nothing personal towards Cam but he shouldn't be in the team. Good on him for making the most of his opportunity on the weekend but hardly deserves praise.

I have nothing against Cam but it's interesting that he was backed in for 3 poor games before finally breaking out and having a decent game. Wish that was applied to some other players.
My Freo supporting mate said Sutcliffe can run all day and will put in a shift, but will also turn the ball over on every 2nd kick.
I think he plays this week because he played well enough to keep his spot.
Reminds me of that one really good quarter Darren Pfeiffer had that one time.

Says who? Why would we offer a leadership player the amount we can offer any other player from a metro or country league? Or are we hiding it by giving him a job in our NGA and community programs?He’s also been paid $4k as the Magpies leadership player.
He played a lot like Simon Phillips for most of his first two games. Plenty of fumbles and bumbles, just not the fastest fumbler and bumbler you have sen like Phillips.The reaction to his game on the weekend has been weird. People talk about him like he's some type of Simon Phillips esque potato who floats in and out of the system within a few years rather than a 100+ game AFL player who was a regular feature in a perennial finals team and played in a grand final. He can clearly play a bit, it's just whether he should be in our team at this point that has been in question.
I would be happy with a third Cam Sutcliffe thread provided conversation is purely about what he is doing (or not doing) with his hair.Not sure why we needed a 2nd Cam Sutcliffe thread, but hey, why not!

Also, a player payment cap will be introduced for the AFC and PAFC in line with the other SANFL clubs, consisting of:SANFL rule changes to affect Magpies structure and contracted players.
Mods I think this topic deserves its own thread as the new rules can be easily accessed to this thread in the future rather than digging around a couple of threads. maybe those posts can be moved into here The Club's Statement...www.bigfooty.com
- Match payments at a maximum of $400 per League match.
- An upfront/base payment maximum (per individual) of $4,000.
- Total upfront/base payments (collective) of not more than $20,000.
- In addition, the Leadership Player can only be paid a maximum upfront/ base payment of $20,000 and match payments of $500 per match. If the player was drafted from a SANFL Club prior to his AFL listing, there will also be a transfer fee payable to the SANFL Club in the sum of $25,000, as is the case if the player were to play for any other SANFL Club.
Re NGA and community programs
He was employed by the club to work with its Next Generation Academies and community programs with Alipate Carlile, John Hinge and Paul Stewart, and was named skipper of the Magpies. Sutcliffe said he “had an inkling” the Power might draft him last week but was only told for certain on Monday hours before the draft.
I mean that actually sounds horrible to me.Here’s a little bit of useless information.
Sutcliffe is being paid $50k plus $4k per game, with a $20k bonus if he gets delisted and no-one picks him up. He’s also been paid $4k as the Magpies leadership player.
If he plays every game til the end of the season, that’s $102,000.
If you add the $4k next year and the year after, you’ll find we’ve paid him $33k for three years...we’ve just done it in advance. The best SANFL players get paid that. So what we can do now is go get another ex-AFL player, move Sutcliffe from the leadership player designation, and keep doing this until we’ve stacked our 5 top up players with AFL quality SA talent.
It’s not a primary or even secondary reason to play him...it’s just an added bonus.
I mean that actually sounds horrible to me.
How is the rookie wage so freaking low while campaigners like Franklin are running around for a million a year. Ugh
If you compare Franklin on 1mil and Cam Hewett on 50k, the former with almost 1000 goals to his name is a bargain.I mean that actually sounds horrible to me.

Hewett and other rookies are on a $75k base in 2019. Suttcliffe gets part a rookies base because he gets drafted in May, but $50k and higher than straight pro rata because those guys have to leave their jobs and have added expenses if the have to go live interstate.If you compare Franklin on 1mil and Cam Hewett on 50k, the former with almost 1000 goals to his name is a bargain.

It's not about value, you could argue both are worth zero if you wanted.If you compare Franklin on 1mil and Cam Hewett on 50k, the former with almost 1000 goals to his name is a bargain.
