We're not back at training for a couple weeks, so I can't confirm or deny anything. 1 of those players mentioned was at Carrum Training though last week.

That's a big loss if true. Fitcher has been linked for weeks don't know about the others. Betting Barnsey is not on Puppets Xmas card list but why Division 1 Grand Finalists would want to play Division 3 is beyond me. Beggars belief! Anyone watched Division 3 recently? It's worse than Superules with less pressure

Everyones been telling us our list is too old... Now we're gone if 1 or 2 of the older players leave?
Think alot of their mates are playing and coaching down there would be the only reason I should think

Its true Carrum has got those 3 plus maybe one or two others, Moor is a huge loss for the heights and they are filthly about losing him

Senior List
Moor hasnt gone. Trained Wednesday though. Fitcher has. I hear that was thanks to one of the ex Skye boys being a dead set tool that got that over the line. Puppets Muppets may take a hit this year.
Can someone more knowledgable than I on the subject explain why the area that Carrum is situated in, really need another team in that hub? What are the leagues real motives in starting up Carrum? Would only thin out the standard of other neighbouring teams, wouldn't it?

Fish, I think you will find that the MPNFL have opposed the CPPLFC application and a decision will be made this week by AFLVic, although they would have not built another supermarket 500 meters up the road if the local community could not support it and the primary school at patterson lakes is bursting...it is a pocket of population growth around the Marina and harbour .. it will not take anything away from local clubs except a few warriors like Fitch, Hynes etc...
You wouldn't have thought the MPNFL have much a case then? Carrum Patterson-Lakes is already pretty much a done deal, isn't it?

I think AFL Vic may approve it but then the MPNFL may appeal.. I heard Friday that the Southern Dragons were denied a clearance to the VAFA and they are now appealing that decision, I wonder what new material they can come up with.

Fancy the cheek of southern dragons being assisted in their first few years in SFL only to want to jump ship.
Anyone know the reasons behind their want to move??

Yes poor form but AFLV knocked them back so lets see what other evidence they can bring to the table.The SFL propped them up until they got themselves sorted in many ways and this is the thanks they get.
If I were a betting man I'd say its all about the issue of paying players. Its common knowledge that they don't pay anyone at all. My thinking is they've won a premiership & been promoted to Div 2 but realise that to go any further, they need to fork out cash to players & lots of it. Going back to the VAFA they would start in D4 & work their through way to find their benchmark without player payments. Somewhere between D2-D4 I'd imagine.
We at Bentleigh have are in a similar boat & have a semi-VAFA ethos where the only people that get paid are the top 4 best players on the day for a win & top 3 players for a loss (payments are halved if we lose). A fair & honest structure.
Southern Dragons' president is pretty switched on & knows how to market his club very well. We've seen that with the Blood Oath campaign & his team appearing the AFL 'Long Way to the Top' commerical this year. Does seem unfair to accept the SFL's money & then run after 4 years though.
Maybe JP the Chinaman can fill us in more?

How much money did the SFL invest in them? Why would the SFL want a team that doesn't want to be there? Understand that they invested in them, but at some point (like now) you have to realise that it was a bad investment. What is the strategy around trying to keep them in the league? Pour more money and time into a bad investment hoping it will turn good? Not a good strategy I think.
Let them go, like the Ammo's have done with Bentleigh and Rupo, wish them well and put your time and effort into those clubs that want to make it work.

Well Nodders, come across to the SFL & you'll find out how much the league invests in new clubs

I don't think we could raise enough cash to compete Fish....
I wasn't having a go at you guys and Rupo (and if all the talk is correct Werribee is likely to follow) as the move probably suits their circumstances better than the VAFA does. But, I don't see why the SFL would want to keep a club that wants to move to a comp who they see as a better fit for them.
Yeah point taken. Werribee are probably sick of the travel as well & are more of a district club so makes sense.
*who would have thought that I would turn the SFL forum into a VAFA forum & vice versa

Yes you guys are right, If the Dragons want to go let them go but I reckon for the eveness of the comp ie: 3 divisions by 10 it was wortha try to persuade them, anyway right at the moment they need to come up with all that Jamie P can muster because they need to find additional reasons to go to the VAFA at appeal. I reckon they should be honest and just say it is the drinking culture that disturbs them and let them travel the world in VAFA land and watch all the blokes in cars around the ground drinking instead of a more controlled version at SFL... anyway hot off the press is that the MPNFL objection to AFLV re: Carrum patterson lakes was rejected therefore CPLFC plays in 3rd div in 2013.
