I definatly agree they do work very hard, just trying to get my point across that the in town clubs also work very hard aswell and the situations are'nt really that different.

situations are not that different.
come on forggy boy..
I will use manang as an example... (NOt involved there) Maybe kelvin can add to this
-the farmers donate their trucks, fuel, and wear and tear, wages for the blokes that get thier worker to do it for them. for hundreds of hours. And i mean hundreds of hours, this is not a one day thing. this is all year round, carting thousands of tones of grain.. (What fuel worth froggy)
-they have awb and abb cards that each farm dumps tones of grian into for the footy club. a lot of players, workers, helpers, juniors travell 35 to 40 minutes to training.. Juniors get out of bed around 6 to make some of the far away games. manang oval maintained by locals.\
-no grant out their way, they dont have steve mathews green stamping the tyntynder proposals...
-or idiots at swan hill wining a grant and deciding to spend it on a new gym when they border the leisure center and dont have an away room
-blokes out there are paid twice to 3 times the amount tyntynder players are paid, just to get them out that far..
-The juniors do not stick around, no work for anyone...
-last year they bought 300 ewes and ran them on peoples property and had working bees to mark and drench them. (Can see brad carrol doing that one)
- on top they run major raffles, balls, and every other function under the sun.
-most local players out there are paid good coin, as they are constantly getting approached by other clubs (NOt that they is not okay)
-all ready spoken about the lack of preseason that their line of work permits.
-and finally from a woorinen view, a big stink was kicked up by the committee out there a few years ago as they were made to pay very similar rates as to the inner clubs on the oval. and they water it, mow it, everything...
-now froggy boy, that is just of the top of my head.. i am sure a few people on here could go more indepth than me.. So if you can come on here and compete with that.. I WILL NOT SET FOOT ON THIS SITE AGAIN..
