Some great fixtures this weekend! Couple of derbies in the mix. The matches between Weston/Edgeworth and Maitland/Azzurri should be very entertaining.
What's everyone's predictions?
hey
What do most NPL players get paid these days (firsts and reserves).?
Back when I was playing (20 years ago) it was $150 a win for first grade and $90 a win reserve grade.
Blame those tolerating it
The clubs spend the money on this through their choice
to do so
It's their chosen model to operate their clubs on
The money ain't going to coaches or equipment or stadium developments
It's going to pay players who shouldn't be paid at all by fleecing junior participants
Blame those tolerating this ridiculous situation
Talent pool question is easily dealt with...end reserve grade, release the younger talented players stuck in this pointless division to first grade clubs, at what ever level they can get into ��
On player payments, I don't know what locals are paid, but VicNPL, I saw what Avondale do from when they got into trouble a couple of years ago, for putting player payments down as hobby income to avoid taxes...several of the key players were upwards of $2500/match 26 game season (+65k untaxed hobby income, not bad...of course their SAP and Youth fees down there are much higher as well to afford such a grand vanity project)
Hang on!
Is Josh Evans at Weston?
How did I miss that?
Huge turn around from last week. Respect for Eagles with 1-1 draw..could have got the win … game of 2 half’s
