the difference is North city 18s 2009, had an over age player who played most of the year before someone from another team told league officials?

A similar thing happened many, many years ago against Ballarat u18s against melton south, played a player that hadnt played all year and it was Sunbury that told the BFL and Ballarat were kicked out of the finals.
My word they are big fish - they leave and a few will follow. All you will be left with is little fish in a stinky little sewer.This sunbury going to edfl argument is getting old. Big fish in a little pond
Pretty sure ballarat under 18s got kicked in 2000. Ballarat had a over age player who won the league goal kicking. Ballarat beat sunbury in a final then were kicked out the next week
Well spoken mate, the league and sebastopol owes you and your team an apology. I hope that isn't the last we see of you in the league, hopefully you kick on next year in the seniors.Lets look at this at a players point of view.
How do you think I felt when I turned up to training on Tuesday after playing (without knowing yet) my last game of football together with my team mates on the Sunday? Probably one of the gutsiest performances I've been a part of. To be informed that in the eyes of the league and our opponents that the effort we put in on Sunday was invalid and not worthy of being awarded a victory because of a ridiculously outdated and illogical ruling.
I only wish the hierachy at Sebastopol were able to see the looks on the boys faces when they were the delivered the news, because they would've retracted their protest straight away. And to see them bullshit on their facebook page that they 'at no stage protested or put in a complaint' only angers us further.
I have played in 4 junior grandfinals with a lot of the boys I played with in 2012, but I will never be prouder of a season than I was with this year, to watch us take it to the top sides without a bench all year and then to win that final how we did.
Sunbury must have won......no whinging or umpy bashing going on.......

I THINK IT TIME THAT YOU LOOKED AT IT FROM A GROWN UPS POINT OF VIEW!!! Rules are rules, the decision has been made, your season is over, now go away and get over it
In all honesty it just makes more sense for them to play in the EDFL.This sunbury going to edfl argument is getting old. Big fish in a little pond
$150k to be competitive and maybe win a flag in the BFL or $300k to do the same in the EDFL.In all honesty it just makes more sense for them to play in the EDFL.

Makes common sense to stay.
"In the perfect world" Sunbury should be playing in a North/West Metro League and could only happen if AFL stepped in and sorted out/restructured Metro leagues(wont happen in near future) but they are are attempting to do that with VCFL. Logically arent a BFL team as arguably neither are Melton and Melton South but that will only be fixed by aboveThe extra 150k is worth to play football on a level playing field.

Things against going to EDFL, no gate takings so money loss there for a start, and EDFL have stated that new teams will not go to Premier/A Grade comp, meaning Sunbury would have to start in B Grade,.
Now grand final this week, think Redan will need to bottle up game, cant see them going head to head in shootout and beating Sunbury. Will playing every week have an effect on them. Sunbury should get great benefit for week off.
Sunbury should be too big around the ground, have improved from last year, not sure whether Redan have, but they are the proven GF specialists. so that must count. Sunbury to win.
