Sif the Jets care what they are doing.
I think all businesses should employ / sign people that will do absolutely nothing to improve the operations of their business or indeed their finances.
I mean why not pay for things you are never going use productively or sell for a profit in the future . Makes perfect sense.
You say this like its a club decision. Its clearly mandated by the FFA and paid for by the FFA.
All in the guise of improving football in Australia by "developing youth"....
This is definitely a case of a regulator being captured. The bigger clubs with money to burn are not put out by this rule. To the smaller, less financial clubs though it is a burden because they have limited funds and that money could have been used to top up an offer or to bring in or keep a senior player - perhaps even go towards office staff... and so on.
If it was in anyway a burden to the bigger clubs the FFA would overturn it quicker than we could blink.
The FFA does whatever the bigger clubs dictate and you need only look at all the marquee type concessions bullshit currently going on to see that.

Essien has pulled the pin and is not coming to the A-league.
English Premier League and Champions League winner Michael Essien has rejected the an A-League berth after Melbourne Victory failed to meet the former Chelsea star's terms.

Essien, 33 was believed to be heading to the A-League to take up a guest marquee spot after he was released from the final year of his contract with Greek Super League's Panathinaikos.
Sources in Greece have told FourFourTwo there were a number of agents involved in the deal both in Australia and overseas but complications surrounding the commission made the deal too complex complete.
Confirmation the deal was off came via a Melbourne Victory spokesperson who last night told News Corp Australia the Chelsea star decided against coming to Australia.
"The club has been in constant discussions with Michael and his representatives, but due to some personal issues, Michael has unfortunately decided not to move to Melbourne," they sai
