Issues that face all players

For the last 20 years SANFL players’ pay has been going backwards. Although this is likely the biggest issue for players, there are many other issues that the players have sought to raise with the SANFL. Such as:

  • Mental health support for players

  • Reinstatement of injury match payments

  • Off-field development and career support

  • Fixturing and training commitments

The SANFL is already aware of many of these issues and is looking at ways to address them. But by including the players’ voice, the SANFL will have a better chance of improving the game and the competition for everyone.

Engaged players are a sign of a strong and healthy competition.
