Not a true gauge, there is a fair few quality players running around in the reserves up there due to player point complications, Depasquale from Ky also playing twos due to no room with points/fly ins, both would be in the ones if the rules allowed it.
Do agree though, still a good step up from...
Would be an absolute disaster for not only country footy, but regional victoria if a club used this loophole and that player bought Covid to the area, with a $5000 fine for the individual involved to boot.
Got the genuine VCR copy in the cupboard, even has the Tongala Coach Mick Shanahan’s pre game speech on it, plenty of swings and roundabouts in that epic.
Yeah no idea, plenty in the same boat including mwa, back to stage 3 for regional vic by the middle of the week is the word, so all leagues will be wrapped up anyway.
Snuck our 2nd game of U/12s in tonight at Vic Park in Echuca, probably the last for the year, but on another note, the kids running around would have no idea how blessed they are to be coached by two GV superstars of yesteryear, P. Newman coaching one side, S. Orr the other.
Nah, but do remember the hoo haa, him and another bloke travelled up from Melb and watched Tonny in the cricket had a couple there, signed on, then called into the Stanhope pub and told everyone in there that they’d just signed at this club up the road for a kings ransom😂.
They were never seen...
Jeremy Smith was a jet, Echuca were the best side in it in 99 when we won it, they were a big strong bodied side(Ash Byrne, Mark Heritage, Brad Smith)pretty sure they went out in straight sets, Jeremy doing his hammy from memory in the qualifying final at Tonny didnt help their cause.
I thought July 11 was the start date?
Sports starting may not be affected at this stage, but surely todays announcements mean there will be very little chance of crowds allowed to the number clubs will need to make a season viable.
Only hope is that city and country vic get treated differently...
Financials on a couple of fronts,
I’m not convinced yet that all players will be willing to play for nothing!, and also have no faith in some clubs not handing out under the table payments even if they aren’t allowed, so I could see a snowball affect there.
And secondly, not convinced we will...
For what its worth, my opinion has been this from early and hasnt changed now it looks like senior footy will get a start.
No senior footy outside the AFL and state leagues should play this season.
The financial impost on clubs in my opinion outweighs any positives of getting a 2-3 month season...
My posts keep going missing!! Even though at no time in the posts deleted did I mention any other posters, someone must have been jumping at shadows and felt the opinions fitted them!
OMG,
Someone elses opinion is hypothetical based, but everything you say is factual🤔.
You start your rebuttal with IMO!!
You also don’t subscribe to the theory!!
And the best, “to the best of my knowledge”
Whats the difference to your dribble compared to everyone else?
You have more information...
Not a huge fan of the points system, but certainly agree with slugging extra points to TAC players changing clubs within the same league. Definitely want a deterrent for clubs poaching TAC players from rival clubs
When Mark Reid and Robbie Miller played Full Back, you were in for an exciting afternoon, you'd often see the Full Back take more hangers than the Full Forward
Not going anywhere mate, taking a step back and just going to coach the twos and have a kick, still enjoy the coaching, just sick of the recruiting/kissing arse
