Heard that he badly injured his knee early in the season. He would have played last wend however there was a general bye for the state game.

With the poor performance of the BFL last weekend and there relegation to Pool C , is anyone going to put there hand up and claim responsibility for the embarrasing performance........like a board member. Lets be honest, the reason why this comp is quickly dying is because fat cat board members do nothing to promote the comp or try to even up teams.

Lets try this ....introduce a points for player system like the EDFL and other comps are doing next year....that will even the comp up, make players play for less and help the clubs that financially struggle. Then games will be closer and crowds will come back and watch, that means money for the clubs. Then the lazy BFL board members with clubs that are finally being competitive, can promote an exciting league, an even league, and bring some interest back into the comp

The Board of the BFL have to take responsibility for where Bendigo footy is and thats a 3rd rate comp by VCFL rankings, there lack of action, inability to make tough decisions, and complete lack of professionalism is why this once great leage is the laughing stock of country footy. Get of your arse the BFL board and do something positive.

Firstly, the players who went had a real go but just got beaten by better sides and secondly none of the board members played so i don't how it can be their fault. The reality is that that our comp does not have the same depth of players as the teams we were playing because we do not pay the same. Every year we lose players to comps who are more financial. Your suggestion of making players play for less is laughable as this will see the more quality players leave the league and therefore drop the standard. The top players in our league already play for less than they can get elsewhere. As for the points system reducing match payments, Balranald has been on the points system! If the standard is to lift to very high level it starts at club level not Board Level. My suggestion is that if you don't understand something, don't be so critical

I'd just love to see Interleague footy return to the old format, loved watching it as a kid and still do.
Does it have the support of the players though?
And does it have a future?

Not sure if it does. The old system meant that if you made it through to the final there was three wends of football to be played. This means the league has to fork out more money to transport and accommodate players/trainers and coaches which I'm not sure they would be keen on.

Another problem is that if you look at the players that went away and played in the carnival. Three of the four top sides made up 20 of the 28 man squad. The other top side, South Bendigo had 6 picked in the initial squad of 41 but, only one trained and played. It can't be fair when Eaglehawk, Gisborne and Golden Square are prepared to put the best players on the line and possibly lose them to injury but, South Bendigo take the soft approach. This soft approach is probably why they seem to always have a good list but, when the going gets tough during the finals series they go missing.

I would love to see the old format back. But, the above problems need to be addressed.

[Trickle Frigwod]

I had heard Saunders got injured early on in the season wasn't aware of what he had done to himself.

I doubt the old interleague format would come back it seems like to much hassle and too costly as Tony pointed out.

To get the best players involved there needs to be some sort of incentive. Otherwise the players will not be willing to risk themselves.

Also question for max i see that Aussy Jones is registered to play with ur mob. Isn't he the coach of the gippsland power? How does that fit in with how many games he can play?

[MickGatto]

i seem to recall south bundling square out of the finals race last year tony.

who are we to question reasons why people pull out of interleague? the soft approach? do you know every single one of these blokes and did you see them not working over the weekend?

apparently the boys had quite a large night on the Saturday... a few strolling in to their hotel rooms at 5am. Some of them (not all) just didn't take it seriously. Also heard the coaches gave it a good nudge too. Pretty hard to win games with a hangover

Totally agree with your comment about $.

The Bendigo Bombers (while providing an opportunity for local players to make up the numbers in the VFL reserves) take out about $75K+p.a. in sponsorship dollars.

If (or is it a matter of when) they leave, it will give BFL clubs more opportunity to attract more dollars to obtain some ex-AFL / VFL players to lift the competition standard.

I think there are still plenty of sponsorship dollars to be made by Bendigo clubs. The problem is generally speaking the people that run the clubs are too busy with their own jobs and their own lives to spend considerable amounts of time in chasing up and developing sponsorship packages to the businesses.

Perhaps clubs need to exploit the Marketing students of LaTrobe university and offer minumum pay and experiance to help them get their foot in the door.

I know Golden Square successfully did this a few years back and were able to get two marketing students to dramatically increase their sponsorship. No payment was made to these two individuals and they both managed to land good jobs as a direct relation to the experiance they gained..

Tony,

Hows the string? Any pain in it still? Kicking? Running 100%? What about your mate D Walsh? See he is back in action too..

[darryl 23]

Kyneton will open their account in more ways than one this week, first win for the year, first win on the QEO this century (I think), Cookies first win as coach etc. etc. Where has Jeff Bruce gone after a good debut last round. Good to see Page and Ellis lining up. Go Tigers.

Sorry Daz, the young Jayco Dragons managed a win today. Junior players showed the way. In 2-3 years time, will be interesting to see if this group can go anywhere with some bigger bodies recruited next year.

Hurst Ressies has an 80 point win, but the turn-up were the under 18's. Kyneton won by 4 points. Maybe there's some hope for the Tiges after all.

Looking fwd to tomorrow - South v Gis!

[fifth quarter]

Castlemaine. M/Boro and Flat still have a ways to go, although much more competitive this year.

[Tony Holdstock]

Tony,

Got through the game thanks trickle. No pain, running 100%. Had 5 weeks on the side lines to make sure it was right. Walsh the same. Will be better for the run.

[BenBal Plugger]

What's the news from Gisborne? They had a couple of weeks off and it did them no favours, that's for sure.

[Trickle Frigwod]

I thought South were very good, their tackle pressure was excellent, their run, speed of ball movement and use of the corridor gave their forwards plenty of opportunities one out. Perhaps the margin could have been a lot more had frew kicked better.

[zakster]

think i-ll go 4 castlmaine to finish up 5th big question for daryl and tiger fans can kynton win a game this year good on south for a big win over gissy draw didn't do gissy any favrs tho with bye and matches in sale and no hard games 4 a while

[carnaroos]

the tigers will have to wait till they play hurst at home 4 their first win and congrats to cookie on the arrival of his new baby boy

[meltdown]

Im sick to death of defending Kyneton tigers, in the pre-season there were a few blokes out there slaging them off, and i said that they were rebuilding give them a go. Well they deserve to get as much slag from as many people as possible! :mad:
THEIR CRAP!
Not only are they crap on the field, but poor form off it as well. Young blokes out on the sauce and at a party (and good luck to them) and trying to make conversation with some paid senior players, and they get nothing. Not even a "sorry mate catch up with ya later" brush off. Just nothing. Poor poor form.
Top paid senior players need to realise that there time is up, they cant keep walking around town thinking their top sh!t. But then I think why not, why not think your awesome? Your in a town where no one knows ya, no one else is standing up or even turning up, so why not.? Just keep takin the money, the money that members, sponsers and supporters put into the club, they pay you to perform, and you are perfroming, right? To the very best of your ability, sure.

Speaking to some Tiger players on Sat. They are keen for a relegation to Riddell League. Go back there for a couple of years, win a few games, hopefully play finals, get a winning culture back, attract some better players and club-people then maybe come back to the BFL.

I know a lot of people on here will bag this comment... but it's straight from the players themselves. Maybe that's where the problem lies? They are sick of losing, don't have the cattle to be competitive in the BFL and want to cut their losses (which have been big?)

The best thing Daylsford FC ever did.

Late 90's they were lucky to field a 2's side, early 00's some gun players came back to the club and they were playing in prelims then a few years ago the coin got too much to stay in the league. They were about to go through the same place they had been in in the late 90's, so with the writing on the wall they swallowed their pride and cut back to the CHFL.

No need to bag that comment Kenneth. Its very viable.

[wceagles]

why dont u do something about it fatso
that would be the pot calling the kettle black!!:rolleyes:just wondering bearsboy are gisborne going to have a fund raiser for their fallen comrade paul dale,seems to have fallen on hard times & i'm sure the doggies would love to help an old warrior:thumbsu:

Bombers call for support


The Bendigo Advertiser
12/06/2008 8:49:00 AM

THE Metricon Bendigo Bombers last night stressed the importance of the community getting behind the VFL club for its last four home games of the season.
Bombers acting general manager Peter Lodewijks addressed the club’s sponsors at the Queen Elizabeth Oval in the wake of the departures of its former general manager Jeff Brennan and chairman Ian Dyett in the past month.
Lodewijks described it as a challenging time for the club and that support from the community was crucial as it moved forward.
Lodewijks says if the community gets behind the Bombers and shows support, ultimately, it’s the community that will benefit after unveiling a plan to give money back to Bendigo once the club strengthens its financial position.
‘‘It’s make or break time,’’ Lodewijks told The Advertiser.
‘‘We as a board are working hard on the purpose of the club.
‘‘We believe there’s only one reason why we’re here, and that’s to give back to the community. ‘‘We have fantastic resources that should be utilised to help us give back to the community by way ultimately, of dollars.



Any takers? They seem to be using the Bendigo Bank "Community Bank" concept to win supporters over

Tony when will we see yourself on centralvicfooty.com.au doing a candid interview

[Norfolk & Clew]

I'm interested more in the BFL and in my honest opinion I can't see the Bombers being around for to much longer. The BFL's playing standard has weakened because of them and while they are good for developing the regions youngsters (18-21) they are never going to get the support that the local clubs do. It costs more for entry (correct me if i'm wrong) and there is no community feel. It was always going to be hard for the bombers, with no history.
I have never felt any urge to follow them through attending games even when i have had mates playing for them. I am sure most people involved with local clubs would be in the same boat.

I cannot believe that players are saying that they want to drop out of the Bendigo league. In the early 80's we (the playing group) were asked if we thought a move to the RDFL was an option as we were struggling then and the committee had decided that a change of leagues would be the magic bullet. The playing group unanamously voted against the move. Ten years later we were a powerhouse of the league with a virtually home grown team and the envy of many BFL clubs. What Kyneton are going through now is not new for them or many other small town teams. It makes success coming out the other end all the more sweet as it was in '95.

Um... hate to point out a blatant hole in your argument, but most of your current playing list weren't even born in the early 80's. Why don't you ask 'em again.

anyway, no skin off my nose buddy. I'm happy for you to stay in the BFL.... at least Kyneton gives my poor young Dragons someone to win against this year.

Think he was talking about the tigers of old as in the team of the 80's. Same old Sandhurst!!! Always stuffing things up thats why your no good this year :D :thumbsu:

I agree NC. I see today they have admitted they have too much debt to afford a Reserves side next year. Can only mean good things for BFL clubs in terms of qulaity players becoming available. And the Senior arrangement with Essendon is up for renewal in 09 as well. I don't think they will be around in 2010.

There's definately an argument to create an avenue for local players to play at a higher level (which has flow on benefits to BFL), but the Bendigo Bombers have never seemed to get it right.

Good news for your slagheads then doc! Will get a few more youngsters back to the club with the folding of the bombers magoo's! That is unless Strathfieldsaye steal them from you.

Our interleague team will undoubtedly become stronger and square could even regain the great Michael Pilcher back onto the books!!

Why don't the Bombers whom are trying to connect to the community throw out the olive branch to the wider football community by providing much needed grants for club infrastructure. If the clubrooms at say Canterbury Park were improved with a Bomber funded grant I am sure the clubs perception of the Bombers would be on the improve. They have always been seen as stripping the club of assets (players), well why not put it back. The local clubs could promote the Bombers as a contributor in their club write ups, who gives a stuff if other clubs are p&ssed because they missed out, they might get the next grant. Better facilities will generally benefit all.

I believe our local facilities are one of the drawbacks for kids continuing in the game. U16 & district U17 200 kids approx, U15 300 kids, U13.5 400 kids and U12 500 kids. Why are we losing 100 kids per age bracket. This should be concerning for local Senior comps and also the Bombers. A decreasing pool probably means a thinner talent pool.

Why not have days at the QEO where local club membership means a discounted ticket price, if that can't be done give the punters a $5 canteen voucher. As we all know if we can get them in the gate then we have a chance. The bombers can do more than just hoping the brand brings punters through the gate. Blokes already support a club, but Bombers supporters will most likely come from within the football community. Provide something more than just the footy and the Burra supporter might just take the young bloke because it is a good cheap day of entertainment, until he has to buy 3 pies and 3 Mars Bars, 5 beers and 4 cokes.

Hopefully NC... that's the idea anyway. BFL needs to be Div 1, it's where we belong. Big Ollie and the BFL board need to put a plan into place to get us back there within 2-3 yrs.

I think S'saye will have an impact on ALL Bendigo clubs if they go it alone, but...... Holy crap - Yep, there'll be some work for Hurst to do as a large portion of our list lives out that way.

Which is why I'm 100% behind Trev Forbes and Little John to take South out there! he he :) It will help plug the hole with a drain on BFL player stocks.

I think S'saye will have an impact on ALL Bendigo clubs if they go it alone, but...... Holy crap - Yep, there'll be some work for Hurst to do as a large portion of our list lives out that way.

Which is why I'm 100% behind Trev Forbes and Little John to take South out there! he he :) It will help plug the hole with a drain on BFL player stocks.

Obviously nothing to report from the "Graveyard" haven't heard from KA or BB for sometime!

Curiosity got the better of this cat and I went along yesterday and watched Metricon Bendigo Bombers. They dominated the lads from the cattery to achieve a very good win. Yet I got no excitement out of the match at all... its good to see the bombers win but I would prefer to watch the square v gisborne game a million times over. The difference in the skill level of the games was basically zilch, many, many basic skill errors in the bombers game. Terrible following (think south and slagheads have more support), i really can't see them lasting for to much longer in all honesty...

Moving on though, great win by the square, really got the blood pumping! Nothing better than beating the other bulldogs in the comp, who may I add should not be written off just yet!

Agree 100% with that NC, They were without Belcher, McKenzie, Davis and Hamilton and have played the other three top sides away. You would think they are a 5 goal better side at the graveyard. Time will tell i guess.

Yep, I reckon it's great that a BFL club has recruited him (who happens to be a nice kid as well). Would've been great to see him run around in the maroon and blue on the QEO, but as Plugger said, what's good for one club is good for us all as it lifts the BFL standard.

And our interleague side will be all the better for it

LESS than two weeks after representing Queensland, Justin Maddern has signed with Bendigo Bank Bendigo Football League club Kangaroo Flat.

Maddern, who has been playing with Labrador in the AFL Queensland competition this year, is returning to central Victoria for work commitments.
The key forward signed with the Roos on Tuesday night and lodged his clearance yesterday.
It’s a massive coup for the Roos, who are locked in a three-way battle for fifth spot with Maryborough and Castlemaine.
Maddern has been in outstanding form for Labrador this season, and was rewarded when he represented Queensland against Western Australia at Townsville on June 7, kicking three goals.
‘‘We were rapt when he said he was going to move back here and have a crack with us,’’ Kangaroo Flat coach Darryl Wilson said yesterday.
‘‘His form at Labrador has been great this year and he has been in the best players most weeks.’’ While hopeful Maddern will line up this Saturday against Gisborne in round nine, Wilson concedes it’s more likely he will play his first game for the club the following week against Golden Square.
Prior to this season, Maddern had spent the previous five years on the Metricon Bendigo Bombers’ list.
He spent part of the pre-season training ahead of the 2006 season with Essendon, showing the high regard in which he is held.
Maddern’s addition at Dower Park will help to ease the workload up forward for Roos’ captain Tyrone Downie. ’‘We don’t want to put too much pressure on Justin, but I guess he gives us something different as a player who can mark, run, jump, and do all that sort of stuff,’’ Wilson said.
‘‘So we think a guy who has been a vice-captain at VFL level, represented his state at under-23 level, been at Essendon during pre-season and knows what work-rate is all about will be a good addition. ‘‘He may just help us to get that little bit of an edge when we play those sides like Maryborough and Castlemaine.

Tigers president says club is committed to BFL

Bendigo Advertiser
20/06/2008

KYNETON president Jeff Thaw says he is bemused by speculation that the Tigers have held recent discussions about a possible move to the Riddell District Football League next year.

Thaw said yesterday Kyneton was committed to the BFL and denied a radio report last Saturday morning that club officials had held a recent meeting with the RDFL.

‘‘It must have been a fairly secret meeting - I wasn’t there, our secretary is in Cairns, so he wasn’t there, our treasurer doesn’t know about it,’’ Thaw said.

‘‘That (going to the RDFL) would be the easy way out, but I think there are plenty of people around who wouldn’t want to see that happen.

‘‘There’s no doubt it is tough for us, but we figure Bendigo is the best league to be in.

‘‘If we want our footballers to play the best standard of football they can, Bendigo is where we should be.

‘‘We have been quite bemused by all the speculation about the club, but no-one, apart from yourself, has come and asked us about it.’’ RDFL general manager Scott McCartney also denied that talks had taken place recently about the prospect of Kyneton crossing over from the BFL.

‘‘We haven’t heard anything from Kyneton at all,’’ McCartney said.

‘‘Clubs may contact us and then there is a process whereby I contact the league where they are from and let them know we have been contacted.

‘‘But we certainly haven’t met with Kyneton.’’ The Tigers, who won the last of their six premierships in 1997, have struggled in the BFL since 2000.

Since 2000, Kyneton has won just 29 of its 142 senior games, and has only played in one final during that time _ a 19-point loss to Sandhurst in the 2003 elimination final.

The Tigers, who are winless this season, look headed for what would be their third wooden spoon since 2001.

Asked about how the club was positioned off-field, Thaw answered: ‘‘I think we’re no different to any other club.

‘‘It’s big business trying to run a club in the BFL and we probably have too few, who have to do too much.

‘‘We have had the same people on the committee for a long time and it has been hard to get new blood.

‘‘It’s just been a case of too few numbers.

’‘We played South Bendigo last week and the former president of South Bendigo was talking about them being in strife.

‘‘Now if South Bendigo, which is having all that success, is in strife, it makes it hard for the clubs that aren’t having success.’’ Thaw said the location of Kyneton made it hard for the club to retain its young players.

‘‘We are sort of stuck in the middle _ Maryborough and Castlemaine probably retain their kids a bit better because it’s too far to go to Bendigo or Melbourne.

‘‘We lose a few to Melbourne, whereas you could still move to Melbourne and play for Gisborne.’‘ So it does make it hard, but we have some good junior players coming through and hopefully, we can have some success with them.’’ Last year, Kyneton’s under-16sfr1/2 side made the Bendigo Junior Football League grand final, while the under-15A side was beaten in the preliminary final.

This year, the Tigers under-16sfr1/2 side sits sixth after 10 rounds, while the under-15A side is third, just two points from top.

The club’s under-18 side is also on the improve. After winning just two games for the previous two years, the Tigers already have three victories this season.

[Dr Kenneth Noisewater]

NFClew & co: How do you think you guys will go tomorrow against the Bloods?

Will be a great game - nice to see Sharpy getting a run in the 1's after years of consistent magoo games. He's to be commended for ignoring $ to play seniors out in HDFL & LVFL land and stick with his mates.

My poor young Dragons are up for a football lesson on Sunday - hopefully they will learn something in between watching the ball soar over their heads through the big sticks, and getting hammered by bigger bodies in the middle.

What a big game to make your senior debut.

The rumors are true the big boy coming in for his first game in what will be a finals like game.. Probably the biggest game for the year for both clubs should be fantastic.

Great effort by the young Jayco Dragons - really promising signs.

Was anyone at the South v Square game?

Can anyone tell me how Dion Alford from Golden Square goes? What sort of player is he?

[Truck]

Just a quick one fellas, was having a hunt through the selected sides and noticed Leigh Rees hasnt played a lot of footy this year. is he injuried??

And big D. Mac hasn't played a hell of a lot either is he also on the injuried list??

[MickGatto]

Both blokes have been injured Truck. Reesy has played the last 3 games in the reserves and will probably come in this week to strengthen the backline after shadbolts injury. d mac kicked 4 on the w/e in the magoos and will prob get a call up as well.

Pies call for probe

25/06/2008 9:44:00 AM


MARYBOROUGH Football-Netball Club has requested an investigation into the incident which left player Matthew Brown dazed and bloodied on the boundary of Castlemaine’s Camp Reserve on Saturday.
Brown was thrown into the Castlemaine coaches’ box by James O’Brien during the third quarter of Maryborough’s important Bendigo Bank Bendigo Football League clash with its Magpie rivals.
Maryborough Football-Netball Club committee members decided to request the BFL investigation during a meeting on Monday night.
President Mick Reid said the Maryborough community was so outraged about the incident that the club had little option but to request an investigation.
"It wasn’t so much the committee (that was concerned), it was raised by a lot of supporters, they saw it, they were horrified and they thought the umpires didn’t do anything and we’ve got to do something," Reid said.
"If it had been dealt by properly by the umpires none of this would have happened.
"You’ve got a duty of care that’s got to be performed by players and umpires.
"To see an incident like that I think an unduly rough play (report) could have been made and maybe a free kick would have been awarded and the melee wouldn’t have happened."
Brown was confident on Monday that he would make a full recovery in time for this weekend’s clash with the in-form South Bendigo, but Reid said he suffered a setback yesterday.
"I spoke to Matt (yesterday) morning and he’s still got headaches and more doctor appointments, so he’s not out of the woods as far as serious injuries," he said.
"On Monday he was better, but (yesterday) he said he was still feeling a bit sore... it could have been a lot worse."
Reid said a letter was likely to be sent to the Bendigo Umpires Association outlining the club’s disappointment with how the three central umpires dealt with the situation.
Play continued immediately after the incident and Castlemaine scored a goal as Maryborough players remonstrated with O’Brien.
Oliver said yesterday the letter had been received by the BFL, but that Maryborough had several more areas to attend to - including paying the $500 investigation fee - before tomorrow for an inquiry to be launched.
The investigation will then be run by an independent investigation officer qualified by the Victorian Country Football League, who will have 21 days to reach a finding. "The BFL as a league is not involved at all, it’s a bit like a tribunal, and we’re just collating (the evidence) at the moment, but Maryborough has a couple of more things to do before we move ahead with an investigation," Oliver said.

Strath unveils plans today
LUKE WEST
26/06/2008 9:21:00 AM

THE new Strathfieldsaye Football-Netball Club is today expected to announce it will seek to join the Bendigo Bank Bendigo Football League next season.

The committee of the new club has had to decide whether to approach either the BFL or Heathcote District Football League.

The Advertiser understands a decision has been made to seek admittance into the BFL for 2009.

With that being the case, should the BFL accept Strathfieldsaye’s request to join next year, the league would grow to 10 clubs and the bye would be eliminated.

A community survey earlier in the year indicated a slight preference towards the club joining the BFL.

Club president Ray Patterson told a community meeting in April that finances would have a major bearing on which league the club would seek to join.

It was estimated the club would need to spend at least twice as much to join the BFL as opposed to the HDFL.

Both the HDFL and BFL have indicated previously they would welcome discussions with Strathfieldsaye.

Although the club will play at Strathfieldsaye’s new multi-million dollar sporting facility presently being built, it will also represent the areas of Junortoun, Homebush and Mandurang.

The last club to join the BFL was North City, which entered in 2006, but only lasted two seasons before joining the Ballarat Football League.

All these comments about someone absolutely "has to" merge with S'saye still perplex me.

The committee out there never wanted a merger option, they simply entertained the idea to satisfy the VCFL's input on the whole thing.

Even if South or Sandhurst wanted to merge, which some at South do, S'saye will reject it anyway.

Smartest move to make s,saye a competive club in the next few years is to merge with slagheads or south. if they dont it is only going to wipe out a small club at a district level whether it be huntly, north bendigo, YCW, Cambells Creck, dunolly, Wyche, Charlton, alot of those clubs from those leagues rely on players in bendigo, by adding another club adds another head ache to getting seconds sides out on the park

[rat1234]

Totally agree with your comment about $.

The Bendigo Bombers (while providing an opportunity for local players to make up the numbers in the VFL reserves) take out about $75K+p.a. in sponsorship dollars.

If (or is it a matter of when) they leave, it will give BFL clubs more opportunity to attract more dollars to obtain some ex-AFL / VFL players to lift the competition standard.


your wrong it wont attract afl players to the bendigo league it will just mean that players will go to other vfl clubs, eg jayden donaldson to sandringham, if the bombers will go.
and players wont go to the bfl if they believe the bombers is a good thing b'cos there is only a few teams that are advocates for it eg K.Flat cos if they believe in the structure they get the players there is bout 7 players on the vfl list that are on k/falts list. coniencdence?
that is why k/flat is in the right direction.

the clubs in bendigo have a thing where they bag out the bendigo bombers but are happy to have the players when they go back, or quit??? im sure south bendigo has benefitted from micheal leech who struggled to play twos last year, connaughton, bowles, and ireland??? im sure they arnt complaining bout how much experince these players have thanks to the bendigo bombers.

most afl players who see there chances to play afl again wont go to the bfl and most go back to country leagues from where they are from, wat attraction is there to the bendigo league?
the bendigo league would need to be stronger b4 an key afl player would come, from experience in playing in the league, we are in div 3 in interleague.

on the sponsors they may take 75k out but their marketing ability is much higher with games been televised and the essendon influnce, sponsors wanna be with the bombers due to it !!!

Great to see Jeff Thaw getting on the front foot and putting an end to rumours of Kyneton departing the Bendigo League:thumbsu:, but what is going on at tigerland? I see that Brian Ruffell is playing 2's, is he not training if so he deserves to be dropped, if not he should be a walk up start to get a game with a team that has not looked like winning a game. Why would Rhys Ellis be playing thirds for Kyneton after playing all year at the pioneers? Are the Tigers stacking their under 18's for a tilt at the flag? There is not one under age player in the seniors despite at least 6 players with senior experience playing tomorrow in the thirds and the senior team looking like a patched up district league side.

Been reading in the pappers that Strath looks set to enter the BFL,i was wondering how clubs feel if this happens.Have the clubs thought about these few points.
1 No bye-Means no rest for injured players
2 More player payments
3 More medical, eg Tapes, Oils and what ever else you need for players
4 Extra pressure on workers around the clubs
All of the above points are for the football side of your club i have not included the netball side.If you think it's hard to keep your club to run out on the ground each weekend now, it will only get harder with no bye
I say to all clubs in the BFL do you really what to lose your bye:thumbsu:

Yea good of Thawry.... Firstly i dont know the reason why Baz was dropped but yea i believe he has to be in the senior team... there was one under ager Jackson Garvey Hawk.... Rhys Ellis has come to play 18s cause people believe its better for his confidence something that he has lacked the last few weeks... no point playing in the seniors when there losing by over 160 points.... The 18s have the cattle to be a genuine flaf contender but now they just need to gell together

If you have injured players then they should be having the week off whether there is a bye or not, I am sure the league will throw in a general bye somewhere to break up the season for players to rest up.
One extra home game will cover some of those costs you have mentioned
