As if on cue, the supposedly destitute dogs have just announced the signing of Angus McLennan from St Kilda's AFL list and Sandringham VFL

They’ve lost 3 guns and recruited multiple good players ?

Love the pun of the destitute Dogs. Amazing what you can do with leadership & engaging with your sponsors.
“Do something Kanga” you incompetent twit.
There was help on offer but u elected to go alone & pot people in the process. We won’t talk about your gambling habit will we.

There is no money owed to you so take your tail between the legs Kanga & FO.

Didnt get the boot old mate, i stood down so you wanna get your facts right to start with with before you comment on something you know nothing about.
I have nothing but the upmost for Chris and his team at Heidelberg and i hope they get the 5 peat, it is am amazingly ran club with a huge committee and plenty of support, but if you think im going to sit back and have keyboard warriors pot me about players not being paid and sponsors not being happy you are sorely mistaken.
Players need to remember that the club was well into the red before the season started and the very small committee
done an outstanding job getting players paid by rounds 8-9, 15-16 and the final payment at the end of the season, as were
promised, and i can tell you besides one or two clubs every other club was in the same boat.

What the actual fk how are you talking about keyboard warriors when you have been hiding behind this big footy account trying to make it out like you were an outsider only to give yourself up in the end.... this is the exact reason you were sacked as prez I reckon sheer dumbness... and saying you were prez for a year is a bit much dont give yaself that much credit from what I hear took 10 months to realise you were north's worst signing in history than you were gone... took the club 3 weeks to resolve all the issues you created pretty good if ya ask me... tell everyone lies about north when the problem was you.... maybe tell everyone how you never showed up to any of ya meetings as ive been told or how ya sent ya mrs to the agm instead of fronting up yaself... coward your the definition of keyboard warrior... and stop sucking up heidelbergs ass cause ya got the ass from nth its stinks of desperation... id say nth would welcome ya back but they have recently put in new doors to the clubrooms which measure 3m by 1m so ya not gonna fit through them... park ya tow truck on the other side if the ground and enjoy the show!

I dont think its appropriate for your ex prez to air dirty laundry in public like this but you yourself have made an account just so you could pot him so that doesnt make you much better

Think its good he replied, so people know exactly what went on and not just have the ex president on here having a one sided view of things.

hearing NFNL has changed the rules

4 games for VFL players required

12 VFL games = disqualification for finals

better late than never. Goodbye herbert and wilson

someone want to do a retrospective on last years GF….does it actually make a difference?

Wilson, Herbert don’t play for Bergs.

 

[kickthething]

What about Hursty, any change? Seems to me this doesn’t make much difference

2 players, 1 who is the best in the comp does make a difference.

Still not what I reckon is correct.

Non-Junior

Finals - 6 games to qualify, 12 VFL games disqualified.
Point reduction - 1 point every 20 local games played (if that happens during a season who cares)

Junior

Finals - 4 games to qualify, 12 VFL games disqualified.
Points reduction - Not an issue as 1 pointers

May seem small issue but having a junior aligned player is what we want back into the league and should be able to (with restrictions)

It's the VFL 'shoppers' that need to be given more stringent restrictions. The points reduction needs to also be an issue not just finals qualification. 3 games in a season and play finals and drop a point seems not in the interest of the concept.

But just my opinion.

I like it. certainly think home VFL clubs should be at an advantage.

Sounds good in theory to not allow VFL players. But it will just turn them away to other competitions. The standard will drop away. But players who deserve a game and done all the hard yards during the season will now get one.

Standard will drop away. Who really gives a crap about VFL and their standard they bring to games, are you saying the standard is so poor when none of these blokes are playing it's a terrible standard?

This is local footy that has constantly been corrupted by players from another league. They decide to play in that league and then drop back and, as you said, take positions from players that have been at the Club, doing pre-season, paying for meals on Thu night, having a beer after the game, maybe bringing in sponsors and supporters.

If you only go to watch the standard of VFL then go to the VFL. I go to local footy to watch local footy. They can bring their standard back when they leave VFL and return full time and if they all head to say Eastern then good luck to Eastern, I certainly will still be watching NFL games, despite the drop in standard.

With respect Eltham haven't had a decent side since 1974 so you've been conditioned to watching sh1t footy. Personally I think its a step backwards and as previous poster alluded to it compromises the integrity of the league. Having said that I am glad my club (Heidelberg) has been granted an exemption for the 2026 season given that all our players were signed before it was known the qualification rules were changing.

It helps with the Heidelberg infiltration at board level of NFNL
