Where are clearances

Does any body know why Will Holt left Sandhurst and went back to Wedderburn

Wasn't he just going home to Wedderburn where he had a strong family connection?

He was very injury prone at Sandhurst.

Home club and Barnesy coaching would have been a draw card

 

[saintron]

So does anybody know how Maryborough is travelling. Got any decent players coming into the club etc.

Hi everyone, long time reader, first time poster.

Follow Castlemaine in the BFL, really good to see them heading in the right direction.

Picked up some good local talent from the district leagues and Bailey Henderson from Strath. Easily the best preseason they've done in a decade in terms of numbers and quality. Not going to contend but should be more competitive and heading the right way.

Other positives are the netball program really picking up, have a feeling they might really shake up that part of the competition this year and the new women's team is also up and firing with an ex AFLW player coaching.

Enjoyed the discussion on previous pages about the issues with the points system and salary caps. No doubt the system is massively flawed and hurting clubs like Castlemaine. I'm not sure they are a viable club in the BFL going forward under the current system, but good to see them having a crack at it.

Gonna be a different environment in the middle of the 18s at Castlemaine this year without Timmy Donnelley running around controlling things.

Yes, big loss to junior footy and cricket and basketball as well.

Qui?

Tim was an umpire who did well over 1000 games in the senior and junior comps who passed away late last year.

 

[saintron]

Any news coming out of Maryborough. Been quiet, new recruits etc.

PlayHQ in 2022.

And don't bother as it doesn't work!

 

[ROOTA#6]

PlayHQ in 2022.

[Professor Pericles]

Really mate that's a bit $hit

It’s ridiculous..being able to see clearances generates a lot of interest and discussion and god knows country footy needs all the interest it can get these days

Yes mate AFL Vic didn't do their homework. Clearances are private to only clubs and the league. We punters cannot access them.

As you said, country Victorian footy needs all the publicity it can get. Stupid decision to move to PlayHQ based upon what we are currently seeing. (Or not seeing) I wonder who got paid.

Would be interesting to see if anyone connected to Brad Scott is involved with PlayHQ

The decision is illogical, utterly stupid and detrimental to generating interest in country football at a time when it has never been harder to get teams on the park. Look at the Benalla situation as to how fragile country football is.

Surely this crazy decision can be reversed.

On the positive side of things I think the BFNL will draw its biggest crowds for years on Good Friday with the Eaglehawk v South, Sandhurst v Strathfieldsaye and Kyneton v Gisborne matches.

The evening Kyneton v Gisborne game in particular should draw a massive crowd.

James Sutherland part owns it, hence why the AFL went with it, despite knowing its limitations to AFL footy

 

[Del28562]

Questions surround company offering a digital ‘one-stop shop’ for grassroots sports

PlayHQ has already signed up Cricket Australia and the AFL but faces accusations of a conflict of interest and queries over its procurement processes

The previous system was shit and needed fixing, yeah you could see clearances but plenty of other things didn’t work real well.

PlayHQ simply isn’t ready, needed more testing.

The real problem is the AFL invested in the company and hence whether its any good today or not, its going to be used. Possibly for a very long time or at least until they divest their interest.

Roy Masters SMH has written a very good article on the whole system

PlayHQ is 25 per cent owned by Codeware , along with the AFL, Basketball Victoria and private investors.

When you want to get to the bottom of a illogical (dodgy) decision follow the money trail.

I had a look at the Bendigo page and it at least had the draw up. Ballarat too.
