Agree mate. Ballarat league stronger than Bendigo league and probably rival the GV if not higher. Sides like Melton, East Point etc would be equal maybe better than the top sides in the GV. Just my observation..
I know I’m commenting outside the 5k radius 😄 but why you having a go at my good friend Silver?? Hope you ain’t coming down with something fly,
Silver had always been a great poster who enjoys the banter! 👊
Hey mate, and AFL give f&&& all to community clubs. If they do happen to send players out to a community clubs training session it’s usually a no name player. Why don’t they send out a big name player which is great for the kids plus great chance to run a bbq and stuff for extra $$.
Yeah I agree it’s gone dead over here. Dont wish to talk EDFL on this page mate but they are looking strong so hopefully they can get to the big dance.
I agree it’s Ridiculous. Why don’t AFL Vic show some balls and enforce a common rule for footy in this state. They put the points system document in place across the state so why don’t they step in now. It’s a joke there is discrepancies between metro & country with regards to this ruling re...
Hey my old friend Silver, I was going to revisit you guy after an extended break but to many pages on this forum I need to catch up on. Anyway I support you Silver.. Go get em mate..
Now what’s your favourite bottle of red wine? I don’t mind a glass or 2 in winter lockdown and what’s your...
Hey mate, trust your well. Personally think we are zero chance of getting community footy up this season. It’s very sad but with no crowds and all the testing, cleaning and stuff you would have to do would be almost impossible to get a start. Can you imagine if a player, offical or whoever...
Yes mate I reckon community footy has zero chance of starting this year. No crowds, no footy.. And if it was to go ahead without crowds how do you police it? Clubs employ 6-8 security guards around the grounds. Don’t think so 😂😂
Thought I would post this as it’s a great read.
EXPERT OPINION
Gary Buckenara column: How to fix ‘broken’ VFL to create real junior talent pathway
The VFL isn’t fair to clubs or players, and now we have a chance to fix it. Recruiting expert Gary Buckenara outlines his vision for a new...
Like your thoughts here. Plus let’s remember cricket gets affected by rain in the early rounds most years especially October. Preparing turf wickets will be an issue but those grounds still with hard wickets could be fine.
Mellington played a few games at Pacco last year, mainly early rounds and then consolidated a spot with Willy VFL. Bloody good player especially at local level. If he was leaving VFL I’m sure PACCO would have a decent crack at him to continue there. Absolute Jet who gives 💯 from what games I saw.
yes agree. Most often the player will know a few at the club as that’s the reason they sign there. Then if the club is smart and treat them well there is a possibility of them going there once they stop vfl. Also a good chance for the club to see how they go at local level. Do they give you 💯?
Ive experienced this as my son was approached to go to 1 of the elite Melb private schools to play APS footy in preference to continuing with TAC cup footy. Yes it was a great experience for him and us parents but ultimately it hampered his chances of being drafted (as was rated high in Vic) as...
have you noticed that AFL club scouts rarely look outside the big clubs who have success. A guarantee you the best kid at the bottom team is probably better than the 4th-5th best kid at the top side. And his more determined however his probably less fortunate, so yes the system is often very biased.
Trent like your input on BF as usual however metro sides could never have 25 points to fill a side. Just couldn’t happen.
The point system is a complete shambles imo. The issue is a lot of clubs in metro and I guess country leagues are really struggling to get under 19s and more so a...
Thanks mate.
Great opportunity for any coaches or players looking to move into coaching ranks. Big junior numbers and a young senior list with room to recruit and add some quality.
Cheers
