Would he be from Eltham?
How much for a hard working borderline 2s player ?

Was looking at the updated NFL By-Rules for 2015 and came across this change. Looks like the league are adding to their money grab scheme, what's everyone's thoughts and obviously they don't spell check their documents before they publish them

I reckon this should not be a Club responsibility (unless their players are involved every week) but as all games are videod all players involved receive a fine and for the second offence a week, that's the only way to stop them.
One club committee member is rather concerned with his clubs rather substantial 6 figure debt. $144000 to be precise.
Any hints as to who?
Was told that Fitzgerald has now left mont or very close too.

How's Eltham going ? Maybe they should have a crack at Fitzgerald, he could be the difference between getting relegated or not.
Looks like I hit a soft spot here mate, cant wait for the relegation game Eltham v mont

From what I hear I think the Doggies will struggle & are a likely candidate for relegation at this early stage. Limited numbers on track which was always a worry with a few of their older boys, no youth, 2014 recruits not all committed & club not flushed with cash. If they avoid bottom would be an achievement in itself.
Yeah think that was the Daniel I was talking about when I said Harris instead of Pratt.

Can't see Pratt joining the Doggies as currently development coach at West Coast.
No hints required. Pretty obvious if off season movements are anything to go by.

Always at this time of year there are numerous ex AFL players linked to NFL clubs.
Obviously not always good acquisitions eg Ty Zantuck, Jay Neagle
But instead of flogging a the dead horse that is Big Footy's bagging of players. Was curious who people think the better ones over the years have been?
Sinclair and Murphy were brilliant in the Heidelberg domination period.
Cloke has proven me wrong, average AFL, dominate and imposing NFL player
Moorecroft would make the all time NFL team.
Shane Harvey, see Moorecroft
Going back now.
Neil Brindley best of his time
Fatui Ataata at the Berg was integral in the drought breaking premiership. ((Turns out he only played magoos at Collingwood)(Also wasn't the drought breaker of 1986 but the 1990 Premiership)) Still a belter of a name.
Athas Hrysoulakis, granted a massive plonker. Was unstoppable at the bloods.
No doubt ive missed a couple, but im trying to work here lads!!

Agree with you on Neil Brindley played at Boro juniors before heading to Collingwood & returned was a jet before playing good footy with me down at Rye for a few years.
A few players at North Heidelberg being Spider Shaw (Fitzroy/Preston) & in the 70s Jezza Cipolla from Northcote VFA was a master. Won league medal in 1974 in a side that won four games. Later dominated for Lalor towards the end. Kevin Grose as an enforcer & leader was pretty good. At Diamond Creek Wayne Headlam former Essendon was a gun. Monty had Leigh Adamson & Grant Wilmott around the time of their last premiership.
