WRFL Div 1 Discussion 2023

[johnnyfooty]

They’ve been hiding in Div two in around those age groups for years now

do they not have the cattle or they want easy flags?
cause i see there 16s are in div 1

Don't have the cattle, if you look at their junior numbers compared to 10-15 years ago they've fallen away drastically

 

[Dogs till i die]

you will find they are in the 2’s in the kids age groups , probably dropped off in recent years as their neighbours (yarraville) are super strong in the 1’s

Not just Yarraville with monster junior numbers, go south one suburb and Newport also have huge numbers.

Both

CS should be thrilled that their players are getting the opportunity to play at a higher level

The whole CS - Bullants thing is a win/lose situation for CS. Some of their players, especially tessari deserve to be playing a higher level of footy, but at the same time they’re losing great talent.

The real question is, is BH taking cs players and he knows their potential or is he just getting back at the club?

I get accused of being negative here. But surely Holland is taking players he thinks can help him?

The benefits to CS is if he gets the arse, those players come back better for the experience.

They also carry more points so they are less attractive to rivals to poach.

There's a benefit too.

Cs just aren't seeing it at the moment

Apologies for the intrusion, but genuinely curious as to why Polec hasnt played yet for Yarraville. Is he injured?

I heard it’s a long term injury and he probably won’t play

 

[Betterthedevilyouknow]

I was told he broke his ankle and that he most likely wouldn’t play again this year and who knows beyond that.
It’s a big loss for Yarra as I also heard he’s been great around the club with their young talent and some coaching and leadership stuff.

Similar to what I was told. I was told it was an ankle op from an injury while at North that they suddenly agreed to pay for.

With no polak and Varcoe hardly playing , still think yse have been traveling ok , with these 2 in , they would surely be up there !
Then again , PC have been doing well without Dahlhaus

I'd agree. Thought they were pretty good against Altona in R1, probably just lacked a little polish.

PC going ok too.

Believe Dalhaus back soon too

Pending court case and potential payout means he won’t be playing for yarraville anytime soon

Interesting isn’t it. The claim that injury ended the career yet can still play at local level

No real opinion on this specific situation but I question the value players gain from a handful of vfl games.

The suggestion that the title “vfl player” lifts the output of a players doesn’t align with what I’ve seen at local level.

If I was CS I would be protecting the interests of my own club.

I think players have a lot to gain from any VFL experience. To do a pre season at a VFL club alone would make you a better player, but to play at that level with and against AFL listed players has to have a positive effect

That’s the thing , he’s actually not playing at local level because of it

 

[ROOTA#6]

But he will as soon as the payout and legal aspect is finalised….ala Dane Swan and others

Most time the afl legal team have to Rick of whether they play. Most players get a potion if the pay from an injury payout. So need to be ticked off by the afl because any future injuries the player will still be covered by the aflpa injury payment scheme pay for by the afl.

Anyone at today's game?

Good crowd?

That's fine but good luck telling a player that they can't play at a higher level & expecting them to stick with you.
Regardless of Holland's wishes, it's ultimately the players call.

Definitely the players call and agree you wouldn’t actively stop them playing. Just don’t think it helps your club either way.

How many CS players would have played for the Bullants yesterday?

Went down to Willy yesterday to watch them v Bullants, got to say they were vastly undermanned and beaten by 70+ points.

Surely limited benefit in playing at a higher level if you are getting belted.

Good crowd , good vibe . YSE put in a good effort , Pc just stayed ahead all day and took the win ! Sam darley made his debut for Pc and looked great
