I thought this may have been a joke, since the story was released by the Hun on April 1st!
The VCFL is still concerned about clubs overspending and players overpricing themselves. They have prepared a guide "For Love or Money" and sent it to clubs to determine how much they should pay for players. The VCFL database tagged players performance and is the basis for a payment scale which can be down loaded from the VCFL.

I wonder how this will affect our league - or local footy in general.
Will this stop the off-season recruitment frenzies we have come to expect, or will clubs just continue the meat market?
BTW, the inside title page of the Player Payment Guide has a full colour pic of a Monbulk v Upwey game!
