Great coach or great salary cap manager? or both? Has great player management abilities from what I have understood.Marty pask, good appointment
Looks like Rowville are getting set for a big tilt next year with some talented additions including the big ruckman fromFrankston.
Werent Balwyn awarded extra player points in 2016? If so, this quote from their Footy Director in the Leader is a lil rich.
“Effectively, it is two more players. I think every league should be on the same – same points and same money – and then everyone is on even ground.”
Lil Rich?? - he makes a valid point that the League should address.
Would have thought getting some facts correct should be a criteria before potting public comments.
Does anyone have a valid reason as to why the EFL would allow the EDFL a free hit?
Points system not doing muchAnd the rich get richer. At least Gwilt is returning to his junior club.

Balwyn have lost Nathan Gordon 6 points in 2016. All existing players do drop a point for each year of service so while they have recruited 2, 6 pointers I imagine that would have to put them close to the 47 point limit. It is an interesting choice to bring in a couple with such high point values.
The points system is working well, but it was never intended to completely stop clubs from recruiting at all, let alone have immediate results.
I don’t blame Balwyn. They are playing within the rules and good on them but the very generous (in my opinion) points cap allows this to happen. Seriously how many other suburban clubs can compete with this?
Fault lies with the AFL. 50 points (if that still the total) hardly encourages junior development or an even competition. Fortunately, in tiered comps like the EFL and VAFA, lopsided scores are less frequent but in some country and smaller metro comps some of the margins are ridiculous.
If they are fair dinkum about points having an impact drop it under 40.

The figure is 48 points this year and I agree that's still too high as Deer Park laughed off 50 points this season as every player dropped a point.
I find it a little funny reading on social media how Balwyn weren't going to re-sign Gordon because of the reduced points & salary cap, yet read a few days later they signed Farren Ray straight out of the AFL
I don't usually complain, but I'm going to.Eastern FL Division One thread for 2011 season.
Done!I don't usually complain, but I'm going to.
I know that there aren't many people contributing to the site but, when you click on the thread and are confronted with "Eastern FL Division One thread for 2011 season" it doesn't look any good and doesn't appear to be how things are done with other Leagues.
Could we please have a brand new thread for all divisions for 2017. It wouldn't appear to be a difficult task. Maybe it will encourage more contributors when they are no longer faced with a regurgitated version of the 2011 thread.
