2025 player moves - ins and outs

You forgot, free whitegoods, furniture, paying with a gambling account/gambling voucher, an overseas trip or maybe a fuel card. Getting the clubs cleaning contract or management of the canteen which means you need to unlock the cleaning cupboard or canteen door for the people who actually do the work. Gift cards from any business that has them. If you have a sponsor with a large business, contracts to perform work for them can be quite large. My favourite one that a lot of country club apparently do is, at the beginning of the year you are given/buy a number of calves who weigh around a 100kg. They are placed on a few supporters farms and at the end of the year or the following year when they are fully grown and weigh 900Kg +, you sell them. The difference (depending on the breed) the purchase and selling price is around $1-2K per animal.

The salary cap is only a problem for the honest clubs. The salary cap isn't the answer, there are far too many loopholes that allow avoidance.

A modified Player points system is the way to try.
It can be modified as needed. Lower total points (it hasn't changed since it started) and a longer time before they are reduced. A player from the junior club who has transfered across from another club, should be worth at least 2 points in their first year in the seniors. If they've been at their new club less that 3 years, maybe it should be greater.

I wouldn't be surprised if 25% of clubs are manipulating their

Double down on that I believe. If it’s found that any coach or official at a TAC club is pushing kids to other clubs they should be removed. The spiel that a kid needs to move clubs for a better chance of being selected is unacceptable

TAC was over 15 years ago. FYI. I agree.

100% happens. Or the recruiters tell the parents to move to the top division, at the very top usually blackburn, rowville or of course vermont are there. Easy choice to register them at one of those cluibs seeing half the interleague side is already there!

Two out of Nunawading to Warrandyte. Can’t be too positive

Nuna are cooked. I saw somewhere forest hill have big numbers, inc the 10-12 nuna tried to lock in for a new u19 side.

Fighting it out at the bottom for so long was extremely admirable.
Wonder what was the straw that broke the camels back?
A few players might've banded together plans for leaving and everyone might've caught on. Or Salanitri shut up shop and everyone flipped.

98th year this year so sad stuff.

Though I wonder if their women’s team may continue and keep the club alive.

Thornton-Eildon managed that for a few years.

Is it true that Nunawading and Forest Hill have actually merged clubs, or are Nunawading players just going to Forest Hill? Was speaking to a player from Nunawading and he seems to believe they're merging...

When loyalty is spoken about if a player is offered money at another club call it “market value” is it then not loyalty from the local club to say maybe we have been under paying you and under valuing you because you were home grown talent?? So we will match the “market value” or should it be on the player to play for under market value? (Also taking into consideration you know nothing about the players financial situation or motivation behind moving)

I'm talking about an instance where a player moves to a new club, and their points are lowered by one after just one season. I made no reference to home grown talent whatsoever.

You're arguing a point I wasn't trying to make.

Happy to be proven wrong, just not what I heard in the division 2 years.
Mentioned earlier he claimed that the new players had "links" to the club and thats why they moved. Pissing down our backs and saying its raining there. Huge cash more like it.

Is this the sort of proof you're looking for? One of my best mates holds the same role at another school in the area, and works his @rse off...

The cap certainly does help to push clubs in doing the right thing along with the points cap.

As a whole we are in a better state compared to 10 years ago regarding the money being thrown around.

Unfortunately the level of admin across leagues is pretty minimal compared to the number of clubs so you are realistically relying on clubs to do the right thing.

I’m not sure how much administrative work it would require to work out who’s fudging numbers.
All clubs are required to submit player contracts these days so there would be a substantial data base. It would be a simple check of previous payments and anomalies would jump out.
