Any practice matches lined up as yet for this year?

I know Brook are playing Wedderburn at Brook in one....

No idea who we are playing...... We played Moyston-Willaura and Dunolly last year and those 2 games were, for want of a better word, a bit of a joke.

I thought you guys might tee up a practice match against Natte seeing you train together.

I believe we are playing Moyston-Willaura late next month. I think that will be our only hit out aside from 3 intra-club games.

I'm with Thoroughbred here.

Think of it this way. There are 8 weeks to go until the season. We are training Monday, Tuesday and Friday nights.

If we pull a Tuesday night match it would probably mean that we lose both Monday and Tuesday sessions. With 8 weeks to go, that is an unacceptable loss of training time.

If we were to play a Saturday game, we could move our Friday session to Thursday and have 3 training sessions in the week and still get the practice match in.

I think a team should dictate when they play their practice matches. You could screw 2 weeks of training up for a couple of low intesity matches.

If its such a low intensity match, what's stopping you from training on the monday??

Maybe low intensity was the wrong term. But I feel the night series matches lack the seriousness of a real game. People seem to roll up 5 minutes before the game as they finish work late and etc. Where as on a Saturday, people turn up early, do a proper warm up and treat it with some respect.

Perhaps the Lightning premiership, similar to what the BFL run, would be a good replacement to the current night series set up. Have all the games on a Saturday maybe with the grand final to be decided under lights that night. That way there is no interruption to a teams training regime during the week

yeah thats prob a fair point,could do a basic skills session on the monday or something, and i dont think u can compare the gains you get out of playing a game of football to training.

after all you look at the afl clubs and so forth and all the intraclub games they play etc etc, it's important to have a few runs i believe b4 season starts
 
Will Princes Park even be able to hold the Night Series this year? I'd prefer to play 1-2 full hit outs on a Saturday for no real reason expect personal preference. Practice Matches in country footy are a little overated IMO. No one takes them seriously, coaches just want to take a look at their players to make first round selections easier. Plus with hard grounds etc no coaches want to put their players through too much too early anyway.

Yeah but they can plan their intraclub and the majority of the practice matches to take place at a day and time that suits them.

We've got guys coming from Ballarat, Melbourne and etc. If they have to make a 6pm game on a Tuesday, many would have to take the arvo off work.

A Saturday game works much better for our team.

IMO it is important to have a mixture of full hit outs and intra-club games. Ideally you'd want to have the intra-club games first so coaches have the ability to move players around at will and get an idea of who plays well where. Coaches also have the opportunity to practice specific set plays in a game situation by having the ability to stop play and explain what is working/not working. A full practice match after that would give the team the chance to fine tune leading up to the first H&A game.

Travis Nolan from C/creek....whats his story? How's he go?

No idea Roo Fan. A couple of the Bendigo posters may be able to shed some light but they didn't have too many good players last year so there is a high likelihood he is not super, I may be wrong though.

Seen him a couple of times when I went over and watched, he's fairly tall but pretty lean guy who played mostly as a Ruck at Creek. Not sure how he will go in a better league.

Clint McLeod has also jumped off Creek and put in a transfer to Maldon.

Both Maldon and Trentham are doing a hell of a lot of work this off-season.

yeah thats a fair point, no doubt it is much easier on a saturday, but the prob is ppl will always have things on, and be unable to attend certain times anyway.

i suppose you just have to find a balance and a program that suits you and your club best........ doesn'T ballarat have a night series??? or is that just for the BFL clubs.
 
Can anyone tell me about the appeals process if a player has a clearance/s rejected?
Does a player have to put in a certain number of clearances before they can appeal a club's decision?
How and to who is the appeal lodged?
Is there a deposit reqired when an appeal is lodged?
Where is an appeal held?
What people make up the appeals board?
Any other info you may feel is relevent...........

Once a clearance has been knocked back 3 times you go to appeals. All you do is call the clearance secretary of your league and they'll take care of it. I think it's $500 for appeals. Loser pays, winner keeps their money.

Any team trying to hold a player will lose unless that player has a financial obligation to the club (money or a jumper) or they have signed a contract. You cannot stop a player from leaving unless one of the above reasons is applicable.

My info could be wrong, so to find an accurate response you should try the clearance secretary listed on the mcdfl website. They will give you all you need to know.

Ballarat has a lightning premiership for the Ballarat teams.

Maryborough is hosting a Bendigo League Lightning premiership at Princes Park and Rovers.

Learmonth and Maryborough are the 2 series tailored for the minor league teams.
