, you haven't been speaking to Abid have you, he has been coming up with some good ones of late including Percy Roberts to Girgarre
.
Hank with respect you double entredred yourself there. Not much has changed in the last decade for expenditure but with James I think everyone in country vic knows he was $1K a game and more when he went to Nth Bendigo. this alone would add $18K to the year. QUOTE]
As I highlighted, '08 was outside the norm, and as I pointed out $30,000 in 2000 to $35,000 in 2011 is not much of a change over the past decade, so not sure if I've "double entredred" myself, for one because I have no idea what "entredred" means

As long as I'm not the only one who thought budgeting to pay players in your bottom 10 $150 a game was a bit alarming.
Last gig yielded a premiership so don't reckon they could have done much better Doon
As for your question Jayco, any retirement will only be forced upon me by the medicos, so will have to wait and see on that front, as for not committing to Stanhope, not sure where that one has come from, other than if I'm retiring I suppose you could say thats not committing
Sorry to jump into this convo. As a former netballer the concept of paid footballers always annoyed me until as a club exec realities hit. To attract even relatively good players to bulk up numbers, not just chase a flag but be competitive to try keep standard of league up etc you have to pay. Now on figures well players can ask what they like but isnt the onus on the individual clubs as to what they are prepared to pay. Don't think we can just blame players for this. Good old supply and demand and I think most will agree the demand for quality players currently outweighs the supply. Unfortunately clubs have to have success or at least remain competitive to maintain the interests of the supporters, sad but true.Bloody great to see some discussion arising about who gets what, who pays for it and who’s not paying boyos!
That’s a double entendre from Benny Hill I think! Was I talking about footy or sex?

It is truly great that the money in DISTRICT footy and its impact is being discussed.
Trouble is, moreso by those who receive and wish it to grow!
I ask again. What benefit do the poor souls receive who give you “legends in your own lunch time” a guaranteed stipend you demand to play DISTRICT footy?
Not playing country major league seniors .. not bushwhackers TAC .. not VFL .. certainly not AwFul Footy!!
Does DISTRICT footy have more than a thousand payers through the gate each week. Does it have all of a weekly game live/replayed in full on TV or radio.
Do those who work to raise funds to meet your demands get business advantages? Maybe the sponsors can rig their tax deductions?
Of your Club. Do the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Committee person etc. .. ad infinitum who basically work for nothing to put you precious ponces on the footy field each winter get say, top six .. $500 a week. Next bracket $300 .. etc.
It certainly ain’t an employer/employee relationship.
Do you as a DISTRICT footballer getting $500 a week declare a contract to the ATO?
Do you re-cycle any of that $ back in to your Club as well as help out off the field?
If not “PYFO”..

Ps. I refuse to listen to any justification from you boyos until we see the advent of this points system over the coming years. That will slow down the high-cycle..low-cycle payment advocates and put country DISTRICT footy back to the place of entertainment and development that it should be .. not where a premiership goes to the highest bidder!
Sorry boyos .. but you haven’t heard the last of me yet!!

Been thinking about this,saw 8 to 10 games of lanky this year and am only guessing but would think burnett is on 15k, thompson 12k, gemmill, brunt, nunn,sierakowsk,meka on 8k N casey, varcoe and maybe thompson the fullback 4k, J casey ,cheap wanted to play with his brother-in-law 5k, $300a week best player awards, Total $80k Happy to be corrected.2 points-if i'm a $100 a per player per week either way its20k differenceand secondly the addition of siera, J casey and meka was the difference between another prelim and a premiership, some times you have to spend that little more

, in hindsight though they were the only side to knock off Lancy and that was probably their undoing in the end as they were already looking ahead to the 2nd Semi before the Qualifying final.
i know a couple of the guys mentioned at lancy wallaby and i can assure you that you are way off the mark. i actually dont think you would have got one of the figures right, casey probably the closest, the coach- way off.
As i said,happy to be corrected but i can assure you i have got one of the figures correct. Interested in the ' way off ' remark for Burnett. I would have thought 15k would be very reasonable for a quality playing coach
On reflection might have been a bit generous on some of the guys. I thought i was unders for S Thommo so maybe have to drag some back across the board. As for the incentive awards and your example what happens to the $300. Is it spread across the "unpaid" best players or back into the coffers. Not sure, is he not eligible or not given it
