Yes spot on Workhorse - missing many due to the unscheduled works on our ground that meant a last minute change for us all. That said, you play with what you have on the day/night and Kew too strong and organised for us last night and showed us what we want to work towards. Ash was ok, had to...

Simple answer is YES - several members are keen on the idea and continue to suggest we have a more in depth look at it. In more recent years as competition for our juniors has been more aggressive by several local NFNL teams and Private Schools, we have looked at different ways to continue to...

I'd imagine there will be 'lunches' both times we play each other Ugly. :cool: Hope you are well mate and looking forward to the catch up this year. Cheers, Chump.

Ha Ha Ha .......... nice try Mappa. We have won 6 games in the past 36 (two seasons played), we have alot of improvement to do before we can rival a club like yours coming down from a grad higher and clubs that were already significantly stronger than us in 2019 - Glen Eria, MHSOB, Bulleen...

......and close to 90 new players for 2021. Great effort from all of those at WB to develop an environment that players want to be a part of. We (Ivanhoe) will have a significant increase in 'new' players also for registrations after adding a Men's Thirds team and second Womens team for season...

Turtles too strong in the Reserves winning buy 4-5 in the end. Jumped out of the blocks and controlled the first half. I think they may have taken a few off in second half to give some more rotations in the seniors due to hot and humid conditions. Hoes won second half to narrow the margin. I’d...

ALL welcome to come and have a beer and watch some local footy as we host the Turtles at Ivanhoe Park tonight. https://www.banyule.vic.gov.au/Events-activities/Parks-reserves/Ivanhoe-Park Reserves kick off at 6.00pm Seniors kick off at 8.00pm Bar and Canteen open (cashless due to covid-safe...

Great to hear the Turtles are building nicely. Do we call this the Garrard/Ciavola Cup? Hollywood Bowl? ;) :cool::D We have a couple of new guys this year joining us so it will be great for them to get a hit out with their new team mates. The past few years we have been very poor in a low...

Looking forward to hosting the Turtles at Ivanhoe park under lights (twilight) Swooper. It will be a good test for our young group and also to dip our toe in the water to see what the NFNL Div 3 is like ;):D #jokingnotjoking #HoestotheNFNL Cheers, Chump.

Quick Q: Does anyone know if a new player (from another comp) who registered to play in the VAFA in season 2020 will have a point reduction for season 2021 or will they remain on the same points as 2020? Example: they registered from EDFL and were going to be 3 points in season 2020 at a VAFA...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :) Chump.

Hi Workhorse. That has not been my experience in the past - we have had many, many players who have come to our club previously because of the exact situation you have suggested above. They usually come in groups of two or three or have some mates previously from the Junior club where they...

It's a difficult one for sure as strong clubs would suggest they can administer them, fund them and should not be disadvantaged because they have worked hard to get to that position. I get that. I also understand that the VAFA would want the revenue generated from those teams to support the...

It would depend on what your goal is. I think as a club you always try and play at the best level you can at any given time. But, others may want to have different aims for their club for different reasons - social, community, etc. They worked hard, utilised contacts to make it attractive to...

They will just pay under the table my friend or find other ways around the salary cap. It's been happening for years and will continue for some clubs. The points situation was a step forward to controlling that a little more, but now all the clubs in our area (from the NFNL) are signing MOU's...

It's unfortunate from a historical point of view when clubs need to merge. No doubt. But, these are challenging times on many fronts and local football clubs, especially lower VAFA division clubs with limited junior connection or/and no school connection, will find themselves looking at these...

What if if was belting rain and the usual Preston gale at finals time Maxy? :-) Chump

Spot on Workhorse. I live in the area, watch a fair bit of local footy and know a lot of the guys playing across the NFNL and your assessment is where I would see things also. The top half of the C grade clubs would also be VERY competitive with the top half NFNL Div 2 teams. Chump

That's cheeky Bedders ....No fishing allowed 🎣 Chump

Interesting decision for the VAFA H/O if these individual clubs pull out, yet other clubs in 'currently' non-effected post code areas confirm via the survey to clubs last week that they want to play? By the way, I don't think we will go ahead, but as I am sitting around a little more than...

VAFA Agree Bedders .... unfortunately! Chump

I wouldn’t say that Oldtimer - we won four games last year so to say it would be equivalent to a much higher grade is a significant stretch - IMHO. Better than last year YES. Hope to see you around if it goes ahead, I’ll buy you a beer 🍺 Chump

I like it Maxy!! Also, how about in September when the weather is a bit nicer we do a 'reunion re-match' of the 1995 C-grade GF as a fundraiser? I know you guys will be happy for us to pocket the coin as you have plenty down there at Chelsworth #chuckle. Chump.

You could look at this in a slightly different way ....... Firstly - this lock down is for right NOW, not for what would be an entire VAFA suggested season. IF the numbers started coming down and the level was eased again in a few weeks - these clubs could still field teams. Whilst they would...

I'm led to believe that the financial season of the VAFA is Nov 01st - October 31st and not the actual playing season.........IF this is correct, then my understanding would be that some sort of fees would be a reasonable request for services already provided/work done since November 2019. Not...

It will be an interesting time for many clubs as they work through this process Horse. The balance of the opportunity presenting itself and wanting to be competitive against teams that will 'load up' V the risk of creating more long term problems with those that are regulars at your club...

And so ...........it's permits for season 2020 for players who's clubs are not competing or competitions that have pulled the pin. The new COVID-19 Permit for 2020 season only is here! Chump.

Having members of our club living in the new 'hot spots' is another thing we have to consider when making the best decision for the health and well being of our players and volunteers. Whilst it is only a recommendation 'to not move within other council areas if from a hot spot', we have taken...

Interestingly there is no confirmed changes to numbers for training (remains at 2 x 20 on an oval) or proposed dates for adult contact sport to recommence (13 July). If we look at things through that view then maybe the VAFA are not quite ready to pull the pin on 2020 until state government...

What if we speak to Cricket Vic and shift footy to Also hearing from several friends at NFNL clubs that the discussion around 'reduced cap' for EDFL is an absolute farce ..........brown paper bags galore happening with some of the players heading there for 9 game deals that are significant...
