Isn’t it important for teams that are down the bottom to have their recruits to be playing every week. ?

If you could a VFL standard player for 6 to 12 games and maybe including finals wouldn't you grab him? Most Club's struggle to recruit I think they would be snapping them up.
Yep you would imagine with the points system in place teams can slot them in during the year and if they quit vfl next year, they get them full time for a point less the next season

yes agree. Most often the player will know a few at the club as that’s the reason they sign there. Then if the club is smart and treat them well there is a possibility of them going there once they stop vfl. Also a good chance for the club to see how they go at local level. Do they give you

12 yes
6 very debatable
I get about working down points but I also see the culture that it brings when guys just “rock up” for the odd game.
If you have a VFL player or two playing 12 or so games. They are part of the team for the finals.
Only getting 6 games from your top end. You probably want play finals
* completely different if it’s a local kid having a crack at a higher level.
Any truth in the Nick Mellington to Kyabram rumour?

That's the brother, Josh.
Nick has been playing in the VFL with Williamstown, Richmond and Coburg.

There are two Nick Mellington's Jet. None of us are certain if it is the Gigaree Nick Mellington, or the former Benalla teammate of Lachie Smith, and current VFL player Nick Mellington.
Either is quite plausible. The rest of the league would prefer the Gigaree Nick.
But, Kyabram have plenty of points to recruit the VFL version.
Definitely not the Girgarre Nick gents, coming back from back to back ACLs I believe.

I had been told that the Williamstown player was likely heading back to the GV so I assumed that it's him - I'm happy to be corrected (again) though ha!

Sounds like you and ringo are correct Jet.I had been told that the Williamstown player was likely heading back to the GV so I assumed that it's him - I'm happy to be corrected (again) though ha!
Unless he heads back to Benalla with Martinello. Great to see a player of his quality back in the league.
Not that Kyabram are struggling ...

If So, invoking the late and great TV personality Graham Kennedy's infamous crow call:
Faaaaaaarrrkk!!
