The bullshit that many clubs spin that they have an AFL future when they are merely a top up player is coming home to roost. In saying that it does have its downside as player payments are getting out of hand.
Then how are the Peptide Bombers getting De-Listed players to join them?

The same bullshit promise that they may be picked up in a future draft. It won't happen, they are top up players.

why are the local leagues doling out so much cash? what's in it for them? do they get more funding, do they have major benefactors? how can they afford to do this?
Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle.

I keep asking the same questions. You have blokes with Money and Ego's and it's a game to them. Some clubs have benefactors and some clubs don't. That is why the clubs with money are up the top and clubs without are down the bottom. When the money runs out the clubs up the top free fall and in many cases fall a few divisions. You have sponsors and money raised from gate takings and beer/food sales. John, I would make your head spin with what I know. :D
