So they applied for a team by 28 Feb and then withdrew? Can only assume they'll receive the weekly fine for the remainder of the season.Pascoe Vale pulled their 18's out on Thursday before round 1

That aligns with U18.5 D1 and D2 with 16 games. smart moveU/18’s have an extra round I see - now 19 rounds.

I'm not sure of the details Colonel just heard the EDFL were not happy about the late withdrawal which is fair enough i guessSo they applied for a team by 28 Feb and then withdrew? Can only assume they'll receive the weekly fine for the remainder of the season.
Yep, i dont know, but i heard clubs are threatened with weekly fines for not fielding a team. But, i think Kyte has his favoritesI'm not sure of the details Colonel just heard the EDFL were not happy about the late withdrawal which is fair enough i guess

The edfl could not help it cannot even get enough umpires so how are they going to entice kids to pacoCant blame the club for having a crack, obviously tried desperately to get a team together but just couldn't get enough kids to commit. What value would it give the league or the other clubs by fining a club? The league should be looking at how they can support the club and what both the club and league could have done better to increase numbers.
Would have been an opportunity to have a combined club like Airport West and Keilor Park did in U17 2019. They obviously had a fair few numbers to only pull out at the last minuteCant blame the club for having a crack, obviously tried desperately to get a team together but just couldn't get enough kids to commit.

no umpire at all for the thirds limited for div 2 women and hopeful at best for one umpire prem womens I bet the edfl being the good bloke they are will offer discounts to all clubs for lack of match day officalsump appts finally out - doesnt look good - hope the clubbies have been dusting off their whistles.
swiss cheese it is.
4 goal umpires across Prem, div1 & 2 2 ressies (24 short)
6 field umpires across div 1 & 2 ressies (12 short)
3 field umps across div 1 & 2 U/18's (13 short)
2 field ump in thirds (7 games) (12 short) and no boundary or goals in any game
Not looking good for the league - what has Ian Kyte done giving them a pay cut - This is a disgrace

why should the umpires accept pay cuts? The clubs have never been in a better financial position.May get worse. I'm hearing the umpires have told the league they are not accepting the proposed pay cuts.
Ball back in the EDFL's court.

Meese took him to the cleaners today Turbo. What Meese lacks in height he more than makes up for with body work, positioning and strength. Hardly lost a ruck contest. As others have said he’s a beast once the ball hits the ground. Like an oversized ruck rover. Lays some brutal tackles as well. To be fair to Sikora he copped a heavy knock early on when Meese flung him out of the way in a marking contest. Should have been a free kick.Big Sika played well Sat. Well I only watched the last 1/2 but he was very good.
Yes, following the progressive scores, Greenvale were ahead for virtually the whole game until the last 10 minutes? Jets have put in 2 very creditable performances against Abers and Keilor.Keilor won by the skin of their teeth yesterday I see
Stax both these results are horrible for Craigieburn and the EDFL to be honest. Imagine when they play Keilor & Abers.. With lower wages players won’t want to be resting either unless they are sore. To have results like this in premier is horrible. Crowds won’t go to Craigieburn’s games so you will need to do functions or something on that round to get people along.Yes, following the progressive scores, Greenvale were ahead for virtually the whole game until the last 10 minutes?

Unfortunately things appear to be pretty diabolical on-field at Craigieburn ATM. Seniors scored 5 points, and reserves failed to score. Total of 58 goals against. Seems really unfathomable to me after I viewed a very imposing Craigieburn outfit demolish EK just 18 months ago in 2019 Division Division 1 GF.
Those closer to the club than me will probably have a lot more insight into what has gone amiss. I genuinely hope that they manage to turn things around and get back on track. Obviously that can’t be until 2022, and in a lower division.

Reduced salary cap so players on less per game than <2019What do you mean by lower wages ?
Yeah right. Just ask the Keillor players how much of a pay cut they all took. NIL straight from the horses mouthReduced salary cap so players on less per game than <2019
You wouldn’t even know the price of a hot dog down there let alone what any of the players are being paid & if they took a pay cuts or notYeah right. Just ask the Keillor players how much of a pay cut they all took. NIL straight from the horses mouth
