    NOW to sometime later in the year (maybe) - Talk about anything

    Might be easier for everyone if Nunawading just played in VAFA clubbies this year instead.

    Bendigo FL discussion 2026

    Quite plausible. I am looking at this in more of a suburban footy context. Going back to around WWII - before junior football competitions became common - a significant number of players would have likely started in their early to mid teens in the Under 17s or 19s, played for a decade and then...

    Central Murray FL Discussion 2026

    Typical AFL. Picking and choosing when they want to become involved in country football affairs. Most of the time they don't give two sh1ts about what goes on in grassroots football.

    SFNL Div 1 2026

    He's not getting along with any of his fellow executive members and also the CEO. Sounds like a "him" problem and not a "them" problem. Most people would read the room and give up gracefully when the situation is currently where it sits but that seemingly isn't going to happen.

    Bendigo FL discussion 2026

    It's a worry when you can't source one from within through a few phone calls and you end up having to resort to doing this. Advertising coaches, yeah. But presidents? Makes you wonder exactly why no-one who is there now is stepping up.

    Essendon's finals drought is legally able to buy a beer in the USA. Two can play that game.

    No matter what colours they wear, most of them have their snouts in the trough with little care for their constituents.

    VAFA General Discussion

    Geelong, O&M, Goulburn Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Ballarat all well ahead of Bendigo, with Gippsland in the equation as well. Bendigo is nowhere near top three.

    VAFA General Discussion

    Did somebody say "junket to Adelaide at the clubs' expense"?

    VAFA General Discussion

    Where I am in Perth, there are about six clubs in close proximity. One club started off with no fees for colts (under 20) and then they all followed suit soon after. In recent years, one club that regularly struggled for numbers went down the track of no fees and free gear but most clubs have...

    Does she reckon he has "cocky knackers"?

    Goulburn Valley FL 2026

    The current state of the GVL admin, combined with the fact that the Bendigo league has made sweeping changes at board level and look to have solidified a sinking ship would be equal contributors.

    Might need to flog off another sports team (if they own any still).

    Bendigo FL discussion 2026

    With the absence of a few from the new board, I'd expect they'd be given their exit ticket at the end of the year - especially if a replacement becomes apparent - given the fact that the league's eyes are seemingly focused on clubs to the north.

    Can't see it working in the VAFA though. Some of their clubs would rather have three Under 19 teams than give a smaller club nearby a single player to help them out.
