No, I totally understand what you were asking - my point wasn't against yours or anything, more that the member feds/FA will never be in favour of a model that helps the community clubs if a player leaves for JDL etc. Theyl just market JDL as something its not so that parents will pay for it and kids think they're little pros for playing in it.

I was responding to your point on community clubs - the current system doesn't benefit them, but they work so hard for what they have. Its the same theme the further up you go, its a clear pattern in football in Oz that those on the bottom do the heavy lifting.
