"Blondie" has talked of $900 paid fortnightly - not close to those figures mentioned?

TylerDurden01 said: ↑ If sessio left that would be a dogs act. Bowing out to spend more time with the family" is a legitimate reason, but shooting off after he promised everyone he would play next year is a low act. I know players at the valley and he is highly regarded and a fits in well up...

Divide and conquer - the ultimate art of war. I daresay the AFLNEB knew they wouldn't break the 4 without some serious manoeuvrings and they look to have come the goods. It's a pretty big carrot to try to turn down as being a standalone club if Tatong & Swanpool remain steadfast in their belief...

sigh

I doubt that they should have Benalla in their name is they will not be a Benalla team... Unless they base their trainings in town with shared home games between the different grounds? There is already 2 Benalla Sides & you would hate for the league to think this megaclub would be stealing...

Agreed. I could argue until blue in the face and they don't care an iota about the football communities around Benalla. And their image? Forcing merges/folds works really well for that. I believe that there will be many people who will wash their hands of O&K Football (and some even football all...

I can't reply to all the drivel that I have caught up on over the last couple pages (inbetween some reasonable posts), some are outright s%$t. Since when has football only been about the money? I do not believe that any club should have to fold or merge just because everyone thinks they are...

The Review declares that the 12 side competition includes Bright as one of those teams, and understand that with fewer Benalla side clubs for Bright to travel to they will remain part of O&KFNL.

Indeed I am not, Slim. As you mentioned there just doesn't seem to be enough footballers around to fill sides for all of the clubs... Is this a measure of the competitiveness of the league? Or a symptom of the increasing professionalism required of players & clubs that it restricts ability of...

Interesting that there was no talk of mergers... Have heard that the Review Panel when speaking to all clubs would mention possible mergers (maybe not necessarily Greta merging though) between any club to try and 'address' the inequities between top & bottom sides i.e. Senior Football Results.

Think the ad has something to do with an outdated constitution that requires the club to advertise all their positions each year. Would have hoped the footy manager let Pige know... :confused:

Nah, no proof mate. Wasn't at the game. Just speaking what was heard. Could be it was just coincidence that the same player was involved with no malice.

Wasn't told who gave the direction - so don't know if it was the coach or not :confused:

Talking to a couple Tatong people yesterday and they're a bit unhappy with Glenrowan. One of the Glenrowan players was overhead being sent out in sniper mode and ended Welshy's game with a knee injury and later in the game seen standing over Spook (who was lying on the ground in serious pain)...

Thinking Dockers may have spent a bit of time out in the Magpies nest a few years ago - new boots were on offer that year from memory... So it's not quite true that he's spent his whole time at Blacks! :rolleyes:

FOOTBALL  Central Umpires will be supplied by the NEUB in the Seniors, Reserves, & Thirds – No Club Umpires will be needed for Central Umpiring  Goal Umpires will be supplied by the NEUB in the Seniors, Reserves, & Thirds – No Club Goal Umpires will be needed.  Boundary Umpires will be...

Great League Presentation Night. Congrats to all the winners! 1 thing missing though... Bring back Sandy Thomas - he is the man that knows how to run things.

Sunday of the last round (21 Aug) at the Gateway as per last year. If you go don't count on the finger food to keep hunger at bay!! Haven't got my invite so don't think they've been sent out yet!! :p:p:D

Fair enough Nonch. From memory there used to be a box where you could write a match report in. I was only guessing that maybe an umpires report about player eligibility may have gone in there which could then be lifted out by the media. Thanks for the clear up :thumbsu:

...onto it straight away. Wasn't there, don't know the story. Only heard (you know chinese whispers style) Tatong questioned whether the player was who was named on the teamsheet &/or registered asked to league to check up on it. Don't think they expected the whole media sh*tstorm that has...

I believe that all the clubs were going to be put through the same litmus test on their viability. Criterion included forfeits & players doubling up which was to for new & existing O&K clubs. And I believe the board got a bit of a wake-up call at one stage after Bright forfeited a couple games...

True. . .

It might be tough for a few clubs with no more byes coming up -straight week in/week out to the GF in Sept. Those near the top will be hoping for that week off come finals time. Especially if they end up trying to nurse players through games rather than giving them time off to recover properly...

Awww... Poor JB. Like a one-night stand, there just isn't any respect shown the next day! :eek::p

Couldn't find a league to play against. They had one, then they didn't, then they found another one, then they couldn't play them.... Something like that, then all the flooding earlier this year affected quite a few clubs/leagues which put a few of them back in the financial stakes. Apparently...

Having just caught up with all the Aker Circus, and it really is just that, a circus. It is all very disappointing but wholly expected. To think Milawa have paid for him to come and play. I would've expected Aker to at least try being an ambassador for AFL but all he has done is say that country...

But you are asking the question because someone has had more than the 2 or 3? & you're wanting to prove something; hahahahaha Anyhoo, having looked up the bible (a.k.a VCFL Handbook) I couldn't find anything in there about the number of clearances. Not to say it isn't lost in amongst it...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Only stupid people get sucked into that one blackfellor! Regardless of whether any or all of those clubs are terrible on the field there are plenty of committee, members & supporters out there who are working their arses off every week to get teams on the...

Not sure on numbers but heard the same. Can't be good if they are putting the word out on the Tuesday night sports wrap-up on Shepp WIN news tonight... How long will the league let them go along with the double-up or forfeiting rule this year?

Re: OKFL - Part 2 The league has requested player numbers for all grades of football & netball for ALL clubs. Not just the newbies... Would make for interesting reading considering each the B&D clubs around Benalla are all rumoured to be struggling.
