I will start by saying I am an old Preston Bullants kid. Grew up at Cramer St in the 70s and early 80s with the old man that worked for the Club and an Uncle that was Premiership player. Loved the place. I do not want to see them disappear, would love to see the Bullants back.
However, I really get annoyed when I read crap like this. This is a quote form the Herald Sun from the Northern Bullants President on them trying to stay alive after Carlton sucked them dry and then let them go....or whatever happened.
Yes, you read that correctly the President of the Bullants has stated that they RUN the Northern Footy Finals. WTF!!!!
Now we know why the NFNL have been so hell bent on staying at a place that most visitors do not want to go to its because the NFNL are incompetent to run their own finals this bloke does. I have no idea why the NFNL have paid employees when all we need is the Northern Bullants.
They have a captured audience from Preston to Kinglake?? WTF!!! How???
The NFNL, if they had any balls would come out and dismiss this. But I guarantee there are kickbacks and crap that allows this to happen. The shiny arse board and “workers” of the NFNL will laugh it off and accept another free lunch from Northern Bullants.
As we all know even though there is perfectly good grounds around (and now we have La Trobe) we will still have to suck it up and go to Preston, be fed by Preston, drink Preston beers and not allowed in the social rooms at Preston.
And this fool has clearly indicated to sponsors and supporters that all he says includes juniors….remember from Preston to Kinglake is a growth corridor. Do Clubs around that area lose sponsors due to such crap being said?
So, anyone that loves their Club and is worried how they are going during in this current crisis sleep well knowing that you are supporting the Northern Bullants and you probably would not exist without them.

If the Bullants do return – and Papal said the club had received tremendous backing from AFL Victoria and AFL state leagues manager Tristan Salter – it will be able to offer players a pathway from juniors, to the VAFA and the VFL.
Papal said sponsors would get excellent exposure at Cramer St.
“We’ll be there three times a week. We can give them more bang for their buck … our club, the amateurs, the juniors and we run the Northern footy league finals,’’ Papal said.
“That’s exposure from Preston to Kinglake. It’s the biggest growth corridor in Australia.’’
