Former Adelaide and Essendon defender Jake Kelly is returning home to his junior club, Mansfield, but for the time being it won’t be in a playing capacity.

Agree! Clubs are falling over or leaving leagues as they are now! The Bendigo League is cooked! Clubs stuck down the bottom—long eras of success. If the Cap was properly policed then I believe it would work. However, due to the ad-hoc checking of player payments, every league now has a club or...
Don't know much about it, but if the training is pretty light hearted, (which I imagine it would be for kids of that age), and it gets them off phones, iPads and computers etc, gives them some exercise and allows them to make new friends and learn to socialise then surely it is not something to...
