    I think that's a bit harsh Bunk. I don't know the guy personally but know others who have gone through similar journeys and it takes a toll. To say someone cracks it when they don't get drafted could also just be acceptance that your dream is over and you move to a new phase of life. No one is...

    Forgot about the entourage. 4 big blokes in long black jackets clearing a path for the big man where ever he went. Genuinely looked like something from a movie that grand final day at Boronia.

    Interesting however that the EFNL have updated their bylaws and sent out information to clubs today Please be advised the EFNL By-Laws have been updated. This update is as follows – 7.4 (a) Clubs are required to field a Senior Men's side per the competition fixture, any failure to meet this...

    Some really important games this week across all divisions, for some could be season defining. Blackburn V Doncaster East - DE first big test but Blackburn at risk of losing touch with the top 3 and going 2-4 East Ringwood V Rowville - Top of the table clash. Park Orchards v Wantirna South -...

    Its a good signing, especially as DE are down a defender after Jay Rankin broke his ankle and will most likely miss the rest of the season, he had been floating between FB and CHB depending on the opponent. Hay hasn't played in the WAFL for years, definitely pre-covid so its not like they have...

    I don't see how the two circumstance are comparable? Oakleigh just needs more players to field a 2s side, why do they need more points?

    The Bulleen Templestowe statement reads a little different to what you are suggesting. "They (Doncaster) obviously have their reasons why (to forfeit) and, after many conversations with the EFNL and BTFC Executive, they have decided to stick with that decision. We'd also like to thank the...

    At no stage did i suggest that the EFNL want Doncaster out of the league, but 100% a high ranking person from within your football club has been telling people BEFORE this weekend that they are exploring other leagues (NFNL). At no stage did i suggest holding a gun and making 1 pointers...

    Agree there is ongoing tension between Doncaster and the EFNL and from some at Doncaster, its irreparable, they want out of the league. I don't think its about taking sides but we were all talking about this months ago. The EFNL are 100% firm that Doncaster was told there would be no points...

    I'm told both Bulleen and the EFNL are filthy at Doncaster and solutions were put to them to fit a side in, but it would have meant dropping some good players who are either 3 or 4 pointers and replacing them with some much less talented players. Doncaster wasn't willing to drop any of their...

    I was told at a game last year by one of their committee members their juniors were on the brink. They only had one team last year. Just not enough kids interested in footy in that area.

    Didn't they think they had secured another coach to replace Hardy also? For him to pull out at the last minute and take another job? I think that's whats happened. The Harris appointment was quite late from memory. There is a huge lack of quality coaches available. Even at 20K plus a season...

    Classic Wanny South. They were horrible to the Fairpark juniors when they were sharing over the last couple of seasons. Very ordinary behaviour by both Wanny South and Knox Council. But they used Bayswater as an excuse to boot Fairpark, it was all about accommodating Wanny South long term...

    They lost 5-6 players mid way thru last year. They lost another 10-12 in the off season. Another group said they were done after the weekend. They have lost a number of long term volunteers also. Something had to give.
