Yes… 10 or so teams in U18 I believe. Better going than last year. U15 not as strong but at least 18s have improved. Robbing Peter to pay Paul amongst competitions and clubs with little direction from above to help out the district leagues in particular… but that’s a conversation for another...

Absolutely ripper effort for Rushy to get back into football and have two open age football sides running around too. Plus junior football!

Cheezey’s write up was good fun to read but I’m sure lots of it much tongue in cheek. Not sure about any finals talk, as footy manager I’m just happy to see plenty of players registered and training. Lots of people upstairs for jumper/dress pres. tonight and a good vibe about - wins aren’t...

Makes ours even worse in that aspect… if the Murray League football person is on or close to 100k… KDL ops is is 60-62k for both netball and football, with the netball executive (volunteer) chipping in for the netball side. There is a few grand for a part time netball admin as a part of the...

When Sharon O’Dwyer left it was $58,000… a good 3 or more years ago? Despite general inflation and the cost of living going well up, they’ve managed to increase that to $60,000-$62,000. While this wage might be okay for many - the list of jobs and desired traits, plus a “full time” job (without...

19 will be the maximum age. Find a club where he has friends or may enjoy playing and most will appreciate another number in the reserves. Maybe a club mid to bottom table that may have struggled for numbers recently, but that will be many clubs… even GV.

What’s this in regard to?

I was talking about Trengove 😂 in hypothetical land.

Correct. I’d say he’s a steal if a club competing could get him for $1000-$1500 and fit that into their cap.

I don’t think anyone is worth that in the KD given we have just under $4700 a week for players. Perhaps as a playing coach, yes. But all that does is halves an income if a player of that calibre. Doesn’t mean they can coach. He’s 33.

Haha just stirring. Obviously doing the rumour mill though. First I read of it was here. Would imagine if he went to a KDL club it would be Murch-Tool. Arho is a nice get though.

You didn’t say no about Trengove just then…

Definitely not. I made a comment about Billings replacing Gresham. Not even close to a certainty though, but he has the ability to do that depending on his preseason. I’d like to see Billings purely play half forward but Gresham’s role includes stints in the middle. Is Dow best 22 for us...

I’m wondering if the chatter started on bigfooty. Then added to the fuel when Barrett was accusing SOS of having something secret up his sleeve. He fits in well I reckon as mentioned with Sinclair move to the midfield. I think what west coast would want would be more than we’d be willing to...

If there’s any truth to the Duggan talk. I know Sinclair just got AA at half back. But Duggan moving to the half back would allow Sinclair into the midfield more where we know how damaging he can be with contested ball and elite kicking.

Ha I have no idea about either of those comments. Only jumped on here today but have followed trade period here the last handful of years. Was a genuine question.

Not a half back but Clurey and Wines would be reasonably close I would imagine. Bring them across together.

Are you still connected to anyone at the club much? Appreciate the info you have shared over previous years.

I might cop it for this… but, Jack Billings. Gresham is a good clearance player, but wasn’t required in our midfield. Couldn’t kick the ball inside 50 as a HFF. Billings can play that position very well if settled and given the opportunity. It’s there now for him. Billings is a known goal kicker...

Pick 2 & 3 will get it done.

The money thing is really not a concern to me. Particularly caring about how much other clubs pay players. Eg couldn’t care what Ben McKay got offered. A player is only worth what a club is willing to pay for that player. It’s all within a budget. As long as the list is happy, clubs can pay...

Lauren Donellan (excuse the spelling). Current VP. She’s been doing a bit of the emailing and ran the last meeting so my guess is she is taking on the main job next year.

Alicia Barber is President. Currently coaching some netball at Rushworth. Some returning faces making up the rest of the committee.

Don’t quote me on this but if they were to leave the league they’re in, there’s an outer metro league with a lot less travel from what I heard discussed. Obviously a different set up with netball on different days to football and a more difficult standard of sport. Very interesting couple of...

On what grounds would they have the right to challenge the decision legally?

Never seen that happened before, Smooth. It isn’t very often that a new league is created and the chances of that new league not getting up combined with a club voting to join it prior… a very strange circumstance for that club. I’m sure the club members unhappy internally will understand if...

Don’t think that’s been a part of the conversation since I’ve been going to league meetings. Might’ve been briefly brought up but but was always top 6 or top 8. Had the year of top 8 then back to top 6. If we lose some clubs top 5 might be on the cards How does the top 5 function?

I’m sure they’ll get a few yes votes. And some clubs may have changed their mind to vote or the other way. Outcome will be interesting.

I don’t know of any clubs in favour (through informal chats) although haven’t heard feedback from every club obviously. So if the yes vote goes through, I’m sure a few clubs will be checking with everyone just to confirm the way they voted!

They’re certainly having a red hot crack on socials… I did hear who’s behind it all (a woman who used to be involved with Rushworth many years ago) but the name escapes me (it’s not Peta, someone else). Getting the committee and helpers together is one task but it will be another to round up...
