Take 5-10 minutes to read this and please don't tell me the salary cap is working. It really is time for AFLVIC to review some of these deals.
Lucrative offers above $300,000 and a private plane to games, recruiters scouring the state and looking years into the future to shore up your list...
The Points and cap handed a generation of clubs at the top of ladders a free throw at the stumps. Here we are on the brink of 2025 and London to a Brick say that the top 4-5 clubs will be the same again. It will be the same in the BFL similar in the O&M, same in the Geelong league etc. As the...
I think there is a considerable difference between the two. The GV has not lost 2 clubs , has the ability to take on another club or two e.g Moama or even a Cobram etc. The cap can be increased but when there are clubs blatantly cheating it whats the point? The incidence of Melbourne based...
I cannot see one positive in Echuca moving back to the BFL. The club would collect flags at will, demolish sides like K Flat and South Bendigo, win the GF by a huge margin and play in a lesser standard of football. You would need to pay overtime to the timekeepers when Broadford venture up to...
The Bendigo League is a mess. Losing Maryborough and Kyneton is a huge blow and there could be more to follow. Gisborne will be chased by the Ballarat league, K Flat are in a cycle of hurt, Castlemaine are having a crack but it needs to be sustainable.The bemusing introduction of Broadford...
Demograophics are impacting leagues like never before. Smaller towns are dropping out of Major League Football and trying to find a niche in a weaker competition. The bigger towns appear to be getting stronger and have the junior numbers to continually spill over into senior ranks. The more...
There are still ramifications being felt from the disbandment of two leagues in the GV area. The end of the Waranga North East and the Northern Echuca Leagues. Broadford have tried three different leagues and laughingly have been admitted to the Bendigo League for 2026. Yea went into recess as...
We also had the Murray Kangaroos. Sadly the board at North Ballarat turned on each other and within a year or two of winning a VFL flag they were gone.
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.
The 168-game AFL player has signed for the Goulburn Valley league side as a non-playing assistant coach.
The master plan included a full gym, heated pool, spa sauna, etc. There was also scope for doctors and physios etc. Unfortunately, it never happened due to funding issues.
What do we expect from the bottom end this year? Do Tat, United, Benalla, or Seymour press for finals? Personally, I can only see the Lions with a chance of breaking into the final 6.
Anyone who thinks the AFL industry gives a Rats toss about country football is delusional. It became an elite system with Private schoolboys given a leg up. Family ties ensure some arrive in the industry that ensures they are promoted to their level of incompetence. If you have the right last...
Firstly, the current rules and regs make it difficult for a team to progress from the bottom three or four on the ladder. Matt Shannon had a good VFL career. I'm sure Shannon received some very good offers but most players now don't want to be part of a never-ending rebuild. How long since Jamo...
Question: When are we going to get some of the past greats into admin positions? Males or females who have played the game and been in the trenches at Club Land? Time to up the pay scale and get 'Football' people involved.
