He would be 26-27 yeah?

26

 

[localfootylegend23]

Nothing to do with money apparently. Richmond said they won’t put him on their AFL list. His last chance at trying to get picked up was another club. I’d say he plays another year or 2 and if nothing eventuates then he goes back to playing local full time and will demand a huge pay cheque.

Port can pay more per game though. AFL Affiliated clubs pay sweet FA for vfl wages, turn over millions in profit to then ask volunteers to do the dirty work for them. Werribbee, Port M and Williamstown are very well off

Good luck to him though I agree with the move too

Bank account wise, Werribee makes Port and Willy look like the homeless. Werribee are the 2nd wealthiest in the VFL behind Southport...the rest are a long way away.

They should all be spending $220k shouldn’t they? Surely VFL clubs aren’t paying under the table

No coincidence that they are usually top 4.

Having an affiliation with the pokies definitely helps with that

How many of them are actually senior players? For example the Watsonia blokes are 19s

[Long_Time_Listner]

No - full time Banyule.

Unfortunately we have lost some quality players and we do have points to work with.

We still have 18 1 pointers who played senior football this year and have 14 1 pointers up from the 19s.

We are obviously having a reset and besides the boys from VFL are recruiting a lot of youth to set us up for the next 3-4 years.

We will have issues with points during the season (something we haven’t had before), however, a lot of clubs are going through the same issue with changeover of personal and high points. Bundoora have recruited - 3 4s and a 2 3s and they played on 46 most weeks

I read Jean-Luc Velissaris has been appointed a playing development coach at North Melbourne VFL.

Cheers, so lost 8 and bought in 5… not ideal but not as bad as it’s made out to me. Unfortunately not unusual for fringe players to be taken from D1 clubs either.

Plus the retirements, which were at least three from their best 25 or so, including Martin who was a mainstay in the ruck.

Whose retired?

 

[Max Leader]

Whose retired?

I believe McDonald, Biscuit and Martin

Cos we all want 19s to leave.

I did state at the beginning of the post there was a mix.

could be scouting out and signing with Geelong ammmos to be exact, in Bellarine league.

Which Tardio?

Also Sam Lloyd is already at Geelong “ammos”

Jesse, well he's joining Lloyd then supposedly.

 

[roosterslife]

Sam Lloyd coaches them and Hamish Sheperd plays there aswell.
It’s actually a very good comp. Torquay are a powerhouse who just signed Travis Boak.

 

[EBERT THE KING]

West Preston Vice captain off to Old Paradians. Would have to be 10+ senior players departing now.

Without an Under 19s team in 2025 either, they will be up against it big time in 2026.

Liam Hunt announced at Aberfeldie. Some big losses for the doggies

[Rusted nuts]

Appears many clubs not willing to fork out enormous coin to retain players and potentially setting themselves to bank the coin for when an opportunity opens that isn’t dominated by Heidelberg.

Banyule, NH & West Preston cupboards look bare heading in to pre season.
