Sorry Damo, my bad.What makes you think I’m a Balwyn supporter?
The 19s could’ve been full ins for the 2s today. But they don’t have a 19s do they.
Bobby in the 2 years before our dramatic decline we had similar problems, one game against Blackburn we had 14 out and the following week 17. We had blokes who had retired 5 years earlier out there playing. For the remainder of the season we had U17's making up 2's. I hope you can get the majority of them back for the second half of the season.Address the Reserves first.
Yes horrible position of forfeiting yesterday. Last count of unavailables that I know of was last week in the mid 30's.
Never known a season like it & it may have got worse yesterday. That would mean maintaining a senior list of 80 to field full sides, that said having 19s that could play in a couple no doubt would assist. No sure even the powerhouse clubs would hold a senior list of 80, East Burwood Cliff?
I will always thought Damo was a Vermont man.
& Yes Cliff that score was correct, unfortunately. Bad kicking = Bad footy.
A few interesting points
As I said, % of over 200 in Outer East Premier
On the weekend they beat Wandin by 76 points (on a weekend where there were low scores everywhere).
A major factor that will scare many EFL clubs - they fielded player points of 22. Yep, the bare minimum - 22 x 1 point players. That’s what a lot of these outer south eastern clubs have access to.
However - there is the issue of Berwick Springs. A junior club that has designs on going senior in the next year or so. They are fielding an U19 side this year. As they develop it would weaken Berwick. And perhaps provide yet another club for the EFL should Berwick come across.
Could you name a couple of these 2s blokes who became important players in premierships?I wouldn’t read too much into their position in Outer East.
Pretty sure Mooroolbark used to beat Wandin by 10 goals every year in practice matches, and there’s guys who were playing 2s in the old second and third division that went on to be important players in AFL Yarra ranges div 1 flags.

Bob I have heard Doncaster have put a lot of work currently into fielding a reserves side but have run into issues preventing them.Would this be because clearances have closed,if true you would think the EFL would grant permits for these potential new players to play the rest of the season subject of cause to the approval of their last club.A Doncaster forfeit means approx 40 players will not be playing football on a Saturday.
So it's better than Mitcham GMac. The new MCG of the East by the sound of it.Have just found the best surfaced ground in the EFL.Back oval Norwood in superb condition after being re developed over the summer months and even a new electronic scoreboard.Heard also Montrose 2's played with 16 to yesterday.

Anyone from Balwyn explain why Brayden Tagieleri been playing in the 2s? Has he been injured?
Fair point mate. Thanks.Could it be any thing to do with player points?(I am not sure how many points he is though) I see last round Balwyn was the max 47 points for the game.
Fair point mate. Thanks.
Not only donny struggling blackburn ressies only had 17 at start of game until some u19s came from there game .game was played 16 a side .has it come to where we have a win /loss payment for ressies players not included in salary cap .im sure this already happens but clubs wont do this as it puts to big a dent on SC.16 a side might have to come in as well .thoughts anyone .Bobby in the 2 years before our dramatic decline we had similar problems, one game against Blackburn we had 14 out and the following week 17.

I looked at the last Balwyn game v South Croydon and surprised both sides were at the max.47 points.I think ex Sydney Swans player Xavier Richards might have played a game in Balwyn's 2's earlier this season to (he would perhaps be a 6 point player).Personally I think the points system is good for local footy as I am not sure to many ex AFL/VFL players or even better Premier league players would like to play to many 2nd games because of points problems in the their 1's and perhaps would look at playing at other clubs even in lower divisions.BUT with clubs with no U19's and struggling for 2's the points system could be another issue.
BUT a big surprise VERMONT 33 points in R12.
Only 31 points last week versus Noble 46
18x 1 point players versus 9 for Noble.
& yet some want to reduce the points even further. Would love to know which clubs could compete with Vermont at say 35 points.
