Sure I,ll answer it. Salary caps & pts systems were not brought in to even up comps,an attempt to save clubs from distinction I believe. With more appropriate Administration at club level now lets hope for the sake of country footy that its works.With open slather what do you want in country leagues?, half a dozen premier teams vying or buying premierships, I doubt it.The pts system did stop the bullies from extracting more topline players this season,did it not? And yes the Rooboys would have spent more $,s had it not been inforce.Remember they won the cup in 2006 by a mere 15seconds not by 2pts.There my answers, but then again you,ve answered you own questions haven,t you? Keep country footy in tact in a sensible manner otherwise there won,t be any country clubs to support.

Paul i would like to commend you on the wonderful job you do of looking over team sheets every week and keeping player records of these for the league it must be a very tedious job.
Would just like you to elaborate on your statement above which says the bullies stopped extracting more topline players because of the points system.
P.S. Is flappers cadd the best secretary in the comp or is it the blonde from L/G?

Just wondering if Gene "Knackers'' Brooks is still running around with Swan Hill? If so, how is the little block traveling on the footy field at the moment?
Let me clarify, I support the intent of all that the league does, but the league gets so defensive if anyone dare suggest faults or that they are not doing things as well as possible. Your answers are indicative of this approach.
In terms of having only 6 premier teams vying or buying premierships, that would be fantastic as we dont have that many now! Realistically there are only 3 or 4 teams that can win it and all have spent plenty and a couple have poached heavily.
The point system stopped more poaching but did it stop enough? If you are still happy with the level of poaching we should all give up.
You surely can't believe that the system is working and you're happy with it.
Yes Balranald could have easily lost the GF after spending plenty. But to Kerang and how much did they spend? Good on them because success would be near impossible if both clubs didnt flash the cash.
In your defence I dont think the league can win, thats why I suggested scrapping the lot.

People,
Are we forgetting the lessons of history.
1. Clubs have been forced to merge and disappeared for a long long time.
2. Players have been changing clubs for many many years, look at a couple of club presidents and or life members and see where they played their football. At different clubs within the same league. Check the number of coaches that have cached more than one club in the league. My point is, are the league trying to achieve something that histroy says is not achievable.

No need to elaborate because their on their cap as it is.
All comp sec,s do a tremendous job,most times too much.Delegation is a great thing., if youv,re got the people too delegate! Murray Rhode is cleaning them up in the seasons achievements so far.Watch out for the Roo lady who is concientious and diligent.
PS: Tedious work becomes light when club sec,s are effecient.
Maybe the spendthrift clubs in the CM are simply trying to play above their station. It could be more economical to play in a lesser league eg The Golden Rivers where there would be less money required to field a competitive side. More of your locals would get a game, the town would still go to the footy on a Saturday.
Hay is a bigger town than Balranald yet it plays in th GRL

a team in the ellinbank league, Cora Lyn spends a rumoured 150k + a year and for what? thay are going to struggle to make the finals at this rate, where as some of the more "home grown" teams are starting to win games and become competitive

I made an observation on Kerang and Balranald in the Central Murray League. I struggle to see what relevance Cora Lyn pose to my statement.
The CM is renound for spending the big bucks on players. It amazes me that this amount of money can be spent on so called hi quality players when we are a League in the lower divison of interleague football. Players that get far less bucks played interleague for other leagues managed to get in the VCFL squad and our players did not even get a mention. I know that selection is performanced based on the day and some better players did not play but whats going wrong?? Players that i know in other leagues think its a joke for what people get paid up here. I doubt very much that our top interleague side would not go anywhere near some other DIV 1 leagues.
Fair go Russ, the guy is just showing an interest..I made an observation on Kerang and Balranald in the Central Murray League. I struggle to see what relevance Cora Lyn pose to my statement.
Its clear he's saying that some clubs spend up big a don't always get results and he is supporting those who don't spend and hopes they get a bit of success.. I must say, i agree with him!!
I think we all wish that successful sides possessed more home grown talent but I also wish I had an extra 3 inches!
The reality is places like Balranald, Lalbert, Tooley, Kerang, Leitchy and others simply cannot be a flag contender without spending up. I agree some clubs waste it on poor player choices and thats what that guy was saying about Cora Lyn. Have a look at the ladder and it just about mirrors money spent with Lalbert and Nyah battling and Tyntynder, Tooley, leitchy and the Roos up top. As I have stated many times good on clubs for getting off their backsides and raising cash and getting a good side on the park.
Its actually not. You dont have to play interleague to be selected. I read that an O&M key forward is in the squad but missed interleague.
I know what you mean though on the other points. Players on 1K a game here are fringe players in the ammos.
Some good points there FOOZ..
Agree that many of the so called "guns" or money players of the comp didn't play interleague which would hurt thier chances of VCFL selection. But also i'm not sure how many of Balranalds players would be in the state side anyway, its more their depth of players that makes them so strong rather than one or another being of that absolute top quality.. ie top 30 in the state, which is a very select list to make it into..
That makes my point worse, as our players still cant get in and its based on every game played in home and away season.

Dane Fitzgerald will poll well. And watch for Brendan Jennings from Leitchville/Gunbower. But knowing this league it will be someone from swan hill way no doubt

My point from a previous post.Reorganise the league so that population etc. is, as far as possible, equal. People will still attend the footy. Maybe even more so with a more even competition and more locals playing. If all the above sides were limited by an even more strict points system the amounts a player could demand would be less he may even stay at home and play for his local club.

Why dont we just form a new league with Swanhill and Tyntyder and the lower station clubs as you call them form another league with no points system .The lower station clubs seem to have all the supportes and money. That would give the lower station league a chance to pillage the other two club league . Kondrook Barahms B&F went to the GRL this year .I suppose to playfor travel and beer money
