Betstar Champions Cup OMFL 2024 Discussion

[Rip vanwinkel]

The problem is the vafa and metro leagues play in the mid 40s, makes it hard to recruit for major country leagues, who have 5-6 less points

How many Clubs in the O and M got extra points for next Season

 

[bedford]

Money has always being part of country footy, Fred fanning left Melbourne after kicking 18 to coach Hamilton for more money, same with Rose to rovers.



The problem Is that the vafa can offer players better jobs, suburban clubs can offer more money, so generally country clubs over the state are paying more for inferior players, only the o&m and geelong leagues can attract quality recruits in country footy

VAFA in the top grade , the school teams and it's a joke what they get away with

to Yarrawonga??

 

[Old Kenny]

Those players that have traveled have added more than enough to the league. A big reason why it’s the premier comp in the state.
I’ve always stated that the points system is too high. Should be 38 points like Wang was on this year. Makes clubs focus more on chasing after their home grown players worth one point over loading up on ring ins that often don’t stick around and only erode the clubs culture and bank balance

And what does anyone get for being the best comp in Vic? A special badge? Some extra cash from HQ? And all this at the expense of the smaller not less important clubs in the comp like corowa and myrt. I think the crowds for regular season games says it all.

Anyway mite have to agree to disagree.

 

[Fatsideswitch]

Any new developments on the yarrawonga schoolgirl scandal?

 

[Long live the bump]

I’d love for kids from Hume, Tallangatta or O&K leagues to be able to nominate a club and be worth 1 point at that club, if they then change then they can be worth 3/4 points but we should be promoting the youth from the bush to come in and have a crack rather then being a victim of the points system

 

[Del28562]

I agree there needs to be incentives for the best local minor league players to come in, they should be 1 pointers, for under 24, and o&m, 32 and over, 1 point to go to minor leagues.

Brett Bewley to Yarrawonga??

I wouldn’t be suprised, his family has holidayed up there for years, plus ex Williamstown teammates at Yarra already.

 

[Tysonic 2]

It’s a business for many of these blokes and someone has to pay the $500 round trip motor vehicle costs from Melbourne, it’s not just petrol money. And that’s just the start to get them up here.

We are not talking about a bit of petrol money here, O&M clubs poaching players out of the GVL for blocks of land, huge sign ons ,free use of cars and fuel cards all outside of the cap?

 

[Del28562]

How many gv guys? Not many, mainly ex afl/vfl players.



The gv hasn't got the financial backing at clubs they once did, neither does bendigo

 

[Long Run]

Recruiting gone quiet at Corowa.

I reckon country clubs outbid suburban clubs. I don't think suburban clubs, minus deer park in their prime, spend more than the O&M clubs

Morrison medallist from Seymour lured across for big money, young gun from Swans,Nick Fothergill from Tat..

IMO it's a case by case basis.
Some Northern League, EDFL and Ammos clubs have been known to offer some pretty spectacular packages.
It's one thing I do chuckle at, Metro threads will bemoan the crazy money available in the country and Country threads will complain about the advantages that the Metro comps enjoy.

Does anyone know how it’s going to work for those players who don’t get picked in the seniors ? Or are they expecting to field reserves as well now ?

That would be a hard NO.

 

[Del28562]

Would rhey beat Rutherglen though?

Good effort to get sides back on the park. On field success would probably be the last thing they are worried about in 2024. Something to build from
