Great post, however the quality of players in and out would be interesting to see as a few people have commented on already. However, having depth at your club helps so I would imagine that Uni, St Pats, OL's and to a lesser extent Evandale would be in good shape leading into the season...

Well they will miss out then wont they! Check your facts, it was a storage area used by cricket clubs, Old Scotch and the other ground users, including the NTCA. At the time it wasn't being use for that, but that is why they were constructed in the first place. I believe it has previously...

You are a goose, get your facts straight and stop putting absolute dribble on the forum. From a 100% reliable authority at Scotch, I can tell you that no players have been banned from the club, and further no players have been banned from the ground. The roof thing was a storage space that was...

Clearly trying to buy another one if their main recruits are on the wrong side of 35. They had no pace last year and looks like will be found out again with these recruits..

Saw in today's paper that both Evandale and Scotch had ads for positions vacant for their coaches also.

You're having a laugh surely..... If a club in this comp has already started pre-season or is even close to it they are as mad as you are for thinking that!

Last year I think he won his 4th flag, has played in the NTFA rep side maybe 3 times, hard as nails, never gets beaten, think he might go alright.........

In years gone by maybe not, but with that new points system maybe the other clubs can't fit them into their allocated points so they can't go anywhere else.

I know it's early (end of round 2), but I reckon the div 2 top 5 is almost set! Might be a bit of shuffling around with actual ladder position but I wouldn't be surprised if those there now are there come finals time. Also, great result for George Town, great to see them on the improve with a...

I think you will find Scotch were without about half a dozen of their senior players, lost Ellis in the first half and finished the game with 17 on the field for half of the last quarter... And to think this was there first hit out of the season..

By 'talks amongst the clubs' you mean your club calling all the others to try and convince others to not support it because you are currently sitting at over 50 points........ I wonder if you will also try and make all the players pay back the $1,000 sign on they got!

There are a lot of people having their two bob's worth here who clearly have no idea what they are talking about, haven't research what discussions have occurred nor read the NTFA's proposal in this regard. The NTFA discussed the introduction of this point based system over a year ago at the...

I have no issue with a club paying an assistant coach, whether he is playing or not. They put in a lot more time than the players in the preparation for a weekend, so they deserve to get paid accordingly. OL's have moved away from paying blokes when Derba etc went there because they saw no...

You're having a laugh yeah? Rainbow doesn't play anywhere unless he gets coin, and I have seen the messages from him directly now he is coaching offering up a $500 sign on and $$ a game, so you might want to check your facts.. There are only two clubs in the Division 2 comp that don't pay any...

Yeah and throwing cash left right and centre. A good mate of mine and a few others have all been sent texts and messages about a $500 sign on fee and $$ per game. The NTFA have to have some balls to stop this sort of activity, it is destroying local footy.

Bit off there as Scotch were again far too good when it matters. St Pats were shaken from the first bounce on the weekend, they were too slow, nowhere near as hard at the ball and their skills were a level below Scotch's, had way too many slow blokes and passengers in general. Scotch on the...

Absolutely, but good on them for having a crack. Fev is a much better option than Didak, Johnson was a waste of cash but Fev should bring more of a crowd ($$) for them. Great to see Fingal staying alive, but for how long will be the question, and what happens if they start getting thumped by...

http://www.examiner.com.au/story/2964831/footy-future-in-doubt-for-fingal/?cs=96 Looks like you are spot on there. Sad day for footy if this happens, even with what they did last year.

You idiot. What a typical thug mentality this is, it's blokes like you who run around local footy that take the enjoyment out of it for others.

Been over a month now, give us the names of these big recruits you spoke of, or did they realise playing out there wasn't worth the $300 a game......

what, you want a medal because you predicted there would be a heap of players leaving Fingal, my dog could have told you that..........

Have heard White is going interstate, but if not will have a crack as North, and so he should, to good for NTFA football. Not sure what Evandale as a club have to offer that could be worth leaving Scotch for, unless it's cash then I don't think Scotch would care. They have never been after...

sorry you took my comment so literally, it was a figure of speech! the sooner people stop pretending that the scotch side were as much to blame as Fingal the better, all us clubs not involved in that incident know who the issue was, and looks like that has now been dealt with. also, Finchy...

we are aren't we! :)

I'd say he is a failure if you look at output for the $$ they outlayed on the kid?

Didn't we all here that last Friday night when their coach said as much, saying that White and Goodluck were going to the TSL? Axton was sitting with all the Evandale boys next to us so pretty sure he has signed, they all looked pretty chummy. Sad to see Fingal go, when they played footy...

Finals time what are everyone's thoughts, St Pats the favourites to take out both grades?

http://www.examiner.com.au/story/2301656/brawling-clubs-hit-with-penalties/?cs=96 Wont affect either sides finals chances given how strong they are and that 5th spot will now only have 12 points. Gutless response from the NTFA, as expected.

Couldn't agree more with regards to the reporting system and tribunal being a mess, but not sure what the answer is. I believe those that sit on the tribunal are lawyers around town who probably don't get paid for their work and do it for nothing, I wouldn't exactly call them dicks. I think...

Tribunal for the NTFA is a joke, always has been, always will be unless they get rid of some of the old fogeys that run the place. Saw Old Scotch dismantle the new blokes on the weekend even with about 6 players out apparently, I reckon records could be broken when they play Perth. I think...
