RDFL 2017 Season discussion

[rightfoot_sloth]

All I am saying that the smarter clubs will look at other means to secure recruits. It's not always the cash you get after a game on Thursday which helps you the most.

Rumour has it L piccioane contacted the coach of wallan and asked if there's was a spot for him at wallan next year....
apparently the coach politely declined.

 

[Calder_Boy]

What so they get a job which pays them an additional $1200 for working at the game on any Saturday in winter, please? We all didn't come down in the last shower, these blokes aren't playing to get good jobs, it's all about the coin, that's all it is.

Many of these lads aren't Rhodes Scholars so a package deal offsets their IQ. The real winners are the players who do well on and off the field. Nonetheless we do have a few bright sparks.

Are those couple of reasons
A/ not been paid?
B/ he thinks Broadford may struggle due to losing players?

Hey barfly
Hope ya well
I can answer a couple of those questions for you
A/ he and the other players have been paid
B/ from what he has told me he has been promoted with the Western Bulldogs and may not be able to play all games
Poundy is a quality bloke
I've been reading with interest some of the comments on here lately and I can't believe how misinformed some are
Hope this helps a few

Well cleared up Skip n good to hear.Gotta say plenty of gossip around atm much of which im sure is untrue.
As for those criticising Diggers it surprises me as im sure other clubs like to be able recruit the quality they have.Some very jelous people it seems.I think its great that ex afl players come to the comp regardless of who they play for just so long as they are good role models and leaders for the young fellas to follow.

 

[barfly]

Look at what local footy has turned into its crap
There not professionals doesn't matter if there ex AFL
Local footy was a place to gather and enjoy your community
It's now turned into no coin no play and in some cases no team ..
Even most locals will go to the neighbouring club if the coin is right
Why if your ex afl not go home to your home club that gave you that start
Ow yeah again the coin

So when at Romsey you disagreed with recruiting Farmer?When at Roos you didnt want Holland Robbo nor Piaccone?Come on Keston whilst some may be paid too much $$$ I don't blame the players.Surely any player should be able to wherever they wish?

 

[Dismayed]

So you point out clubs I've been at never been president treasurer or executive this is where these decisions are made according to skip all players have been paid wasn't a issue when I was there
like wise at romsey let me tell you one thing and don't give a shit how it's interpreted lot players wouldn't have been paid if I wasn't there champ ...

Once again you make no sense
Your original post said all clubs end up playing players. When. Challenged you have not been on the exec where these decisons are .... made in other words you have no idea.
And of course to end your post you give yourself some congratulations.

I see Wallan have organised 3 practice matches for next year. v Westmeadows, Echuca and Glenroy.

 

[Bucks no chance]

Who has wallan signed for next year ?

Talk around is they were chasing matt Swindells ?

 

[Aucklander]

Had it confirmed Jess Davies from Craigieburn is training with the club and an ex EDFL ruckman, but that's about it that I know of.

Rupo have signed Jesse Wallin Keilor premiership player, from all reports they have not finished there recruiting either.

 

[Aucklander]

I'm hearing they didn't have to chase him.

 

[Bucks no chance]

I'm hearing they didn't have to chase him.

He approach them?

[MortlockWatcher]

Spot on there this is why cap needed to be around the 160-180 k
Clubs are to blame as when the league ask them to give some feed back onapprox match payments with no rep ructions they went low
know of one club who was around 200 k and submitted 90 k so when averaged created the 110 k situation ....
Dumb

Should be points only anyway. Cap will be a farce because it can't be policed properly.
