Would that really matter to Vermont Fatside?He won’t come cheap. Been on ridiculous money at Southport.

Any grounds up there as small as Vermont?
Find it strange that Vermont would be Attempting to entice someone from interstate especially with the cost associated.
There are many coaches from higher grades currently out of work with the cutbacks within the AFL & VFL systems. Would be a nice gig to get & add to the resume.
Keilors coach wouldn’t be cheap SMY. That said does a fantastic job.
That will create some turmoil for both players and clubs.Couple of bits of news

When you seriously look at it, what other code in the world would have players getting paid anywhere near that money in a tier of sport so low relative to the the top comp? I cant think of any.
I remember a conversation my son had with a mate of his a few years ago and he had picked up $50 as an award for going ok on the weekend (Qld footy salaries ). My son's mate had just won the ironman at the State titles in surflifesaving - got sweet FA. he was incredulous that players at suburban level got cash awards let alone paid to play. Would train 3x harder than any local footballer. Its just a false economy that makes it 10x harder for clubs and volunteers to make ends meet.

It’s already happening just look who’s gone to st Kilda city these players are only going there for 1 reasonWhat clubs don’t rely on gate takings? I just hope that afl vic block all transfers so no rouge leagues go it alone and try and pinch your players....

Definitely soccer. Both locally and internationally.
I hear you but I don’t think it’s a totally false economy, there’s just a large range in terms of what some clubs can comfortably pay versus others. “Local footy” is a pretty broad umbrella, covering everything from genuine semi-professional clubs to those that are basically social. It’s just about ensuring an appropriate level for all I guess.
In Melbourne at least I think the presence of the VAFA offers a great balance. Though some would say I’m naive for suggesting it’s “amateur”!
You can live off playing lower divisions of basketball in the States as well (7000USD a month for the 5 month season)
Yeah respectfully disagree BM - absolutely positive you could not be earning $2k/game playing soccer in a no name subsidiary comp of the GV or Ballarat regions There is no way known there is money around for that code outside of possibly premier league. I arent necessarily talking EFL div 1 or GFL etc, I'm talking div 3 or 4 or worse. There are blokes, depending on the farm economy, cutting out a pretty good living from swanning in on a Saturday. I mean it is ridiculous but there are numerous blokes being flown in from Qld to play country footy in Vic every weekend. It basically is an economy that is not sustainable.
GMac - if you think for a second you are responsible for the points/salary cap system brought in then you are kidding yourself...
Spot on - I agree - but egos and external pressures completely at odds with what the footy club can afford often make for poor decision making too.Yeah fair enough. As I said there's a huge range from the top level leagues to the bottom and it's about making sure each level is appropriate I guess.

Brett Eddy gone to Caulfield Grammarians for the next 2 years. You would think Vermont wouldn't be very impressed with that.
Must be a leg up in the finance and investment areas.
Only a day after the $100k limit. VAFA will become the dominant league in metropolitan Melbourne.
Cheers AFL Victoria. Interesting times ahead, some should be careful for what they wish for.
