does anyone know wat the ruling about a club not bein able to field an under 17's side is? serp 17's don't look like there going to have a 17's side at all this yr, does this mean the club has to fold?

Unsure....however, Mount Pleasant were in a similar situation a few years ago, Mount Pleasant had the HDFL make it clear to them....that Under 17 side or else...not sure what the "or elses" was though.
With country communities becoming smaller.......some clever clubs...are focussing on recruiting kids....eg...Calival...Inglewood have been placing a lot of effort to attract Under 17 kids...I hope Inglewood get to see the results of their efforts in 2007.
The HDFL made Mounts and Elmore field an under 17s side, if they couldnt field one they would lose 4 points from the 1s
Can you just explain that a bit more nesko? 4 points as in 4 points on the ladder?? Jeez u would be wanting to scratch a team together.. Can the ladder go into negatives?

It depends which club your from to what happens. If it's YCW or Marong your threatened with the loss of points for the senior side. if your from any other club you are looked after (eg Serp playing with only 16 for the past 2 years).
So i would imagine Serp will be right.
yeah the 1s lose four premership points for every game the thirds cannot come up with a side. It was a great rule because if makes the whole club look after the juniors.
i hope serp comes up with a team. in 2006 marong under 17s had too forfiet the first game only had four players. through hard work by the coach, players and general club people and plenty of advertising they ended up with enough by the end of the year and actually made finals that year, so everyone at serp please dont give up, the league needs you too be able too fill an unders team, it would be a shame for any team not too be able too fill all three footy sides every saturday.

Well to start off with some of the Newbridge players, Steve Simmons has been coach of the junior side for the past few years now, though unsure whether he will take it on again due to work commitments up north in Queensland. Jumping forward to Brad Comer, I'm sure we are all aware of his wherabouts at the moment, Assistant Coach at Newbridge and is working for Comer Transport in Shelbourne East I am led to believe. Cameron Grant has recently moved to Melbourne to start his work as a nurse at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Cam, a key part of the Newbridge side last season, may/may not be back at Newbridge due to working commitments this season. Justin McEwan played two seasons of senior football at Newbridge after 2005, though is moving on this season to play for Kangaroo Flat.
Steve Simmons is no longer coach of the junior side at Newbridge.
The runner from last year, Mick Purcell is taking over the job.
yes, great pick up.

Not sure fitness was Daniel's main problem at miti last year.
No his problem at miti last year was that he chose work over footy and the miti sooks couldn't handle it, apparently mr wicks rang him to say the club would have him back once they think they can trust him. All i can say is good move willsy all the best at the hill but please do something about the hair
blown budget
Debutant
i've been talking to willsy and the main reason for him leaving mitiamo is cos of that wanka wicks so i dont blame him for moving onto another club i dont know how other mitiamo players have put up with him for so long
