Lalor recruitment should be announced soon. New committee is in place.
Hearing they have 40 odd signed already with around 20 being new recruits. Including some real goers.

Great to hear but they have had 'Real Goers ' for a few years now. 40 Signed would be a lot of points as I cant inmagine too many recruits returning ? Hope I'm wrong.

New AFL-V local rules is leagues can allow clubs to apply for allowances for more points, this came in for 2024 and I have no doubt will be pushed to its limits by some clubs but I think most agree Lalor should be one that could be given more for a season to try and stabilise.

 

[MortlockWatcher]

To be honest the league needs to apply some pressure on lalor. They are by far the least stable club in the competition. I’d be asking to see how many have signed by Feb then release the draw after that.

Can’t have a team that’s lost 5-8 players and struggling to field to teams bring down the comp.

They are the reason the fixture will be lopsided, anyone who gets them more than the rest is getting points for a bye.

You would expect that Lalor is given until the end of the month (or possibly mid-November at the latest) to say they are in or out because the league, its clubs and also players need to be able to make their plans for the 2024 season.

Delaying the decision until the end of December or January may well be leaving it too late for the club as any players in limbo will just give up on the uncertainty and lock in a club to play at while Lalor is still making up its mind.

Surely if they’ve signed 20 new blokes you’d be getting it on socials asap.

If they have all signed to come as senior footballers there might be some issues very quickly for those who end up playing in the twos

Would have thoughts so totally agree especially when they need to be selling the club.

Any news on Marshall to Mernda? I see a few of Bundooras better players are starting to sign on. I wonder if that will convince him to stay. Although he is starting to struggle at that level now. He would have to be around the mid 30s now.

$25k would have rocks in his head if he didn’t go

Don’t know how they’re going to fit him and Shane Harvey and keep within the ‘salary cap’

They won’t be lodging it on the books.

Hearing from good sources Nipper will be at Mernda. Not the player he once was by a long way though.

If a club hires a player as a playing assistant coach, can some of the salary be outside of the cap? Could be an option for someone of Marshalls experiences

 

[Thunder1]

Dave Florence announced as new Kinglake coach

No, all payments to playing asst coaches are counted in salary cap. 50% of a playing coaches pay is counted in a salary cap.
