Agree, they would pants sides like Silvan. Div 2 would be a good fit to start and then find their level from there on. Might also start others on the boundary looking at options as the outlook in this competition doesn’t fill you with any confidence or optimism.

Not sure where Div 1 sits but the top 4 or 5 premier sides never really went close to point allocation. Could likely drop the total points down but will that really help balance the competitiveness of this division? I don’t think so.

Assuming PH who played at Montrose this season. Not sure how many senior games he played but handy local to get back.

Keen to understand what will happen in premier division given the departure of both Narre & Berwick. Assuming Healesville up and Pakenham down so interested to see what they do with the draw given the really compromised one this year.

Do we really care? If they don’t want to be here then send them on their way. Sick to death of management pandering to clubs that don’t want to be here, footy or netball.

As an impartial spectator today and it was really disappointing to see the quality of umpiring. Two quality sides in a GF and if that’s the best we have then we are in trouble. Shoulders was atrocious and the 11yr kid shouldn’t have been in that situation.

Can someone explain why the footy is at Healesville when their netball courts appear to be out of use? Surely another venue that caters for both is a better option.

Having watched the video it’s bewildering that this has turned into to a season ending suspension. The tribunal process this year is heavily weighted towards either suspension or the least amount of effort from the league. Really sad outcome when someone is missing footy for what didn’t appear...
Agree this is just a mess and anyone’s guess as to how that ends. The draw this year is grossly compromised and I’d love to know who and how they came up with it?? The final 6 also feels a little ridiculous. I did however see the CEO at the junior grand final, 1st time I’ve seen him at a game...
Can’t blame the umpires. This is again another example of the quality of the overall leadership we have running this competition and then the lack of accountability or reflection on how poor their decisions have been. Undoubtedly they probably think they are going well but when they’re all cut...
Dropped in to see Wandin V Narre for a couple of quarters and it astounds me that this game is 1 V 2 in our premier division and they allocate the quality of umpires they did. Surely it’s a perfect opportunity to have your best umpires tested, build familiarity with likely finals teams and...
Looked like a solid win by Wandin yesterday which now has them back in 2nd spot. Assume the ground would have held up ok at Woori?

Wow, seen a bloke get 4 weeks earlier this year for considerably less with no video or report so this surely would be 5-6 weeks minimum.

If the league has a war chest of cash like what was being reported then surely “buy” the right person in to fix the problem. If you have available funds and you have problems to fix then fix them!
At some point there has to be change with the leadership of this league. The same closed minded...
As we’ve said before the league just need to have each club sign up for 5 years so they can plan accordingly and give some confidence to the teams that do so they in turn can plan. For those who don’t want to sign then they need to leave ASAP (with a new league for not)
Can’t continue to have...
Good overview and agree with lots that you’ve referenced. In Premier Div Outer East is the salary cap 120k? Still would be very surprised if any/many have the ability to pay to this. Incredibly hard to run your club at a profit and then chase 120k in sponsorship to pay players and then do this...
Don’t really understand the comment around Beaconsfield and Berwick giving nothing to the league? New additions that will find their level playing field given the multiple divisions. Don’t see any difference to many others like Silvan, Sth Belgrave and others on the periphery.

The quality of our umpiring is a symptom of the overall leadership of our league. Much like our league leaders, you don’t attract quality people with diversity of thinking and skills for overall better decision making with a leader who has consistently failed over a long period.
The list in the...
I’d sign it off now and let them go. Why try and keep someone who doesn’t want to stay? Makes no sense. Now proactively plan and then communicate the plan with those who are committed to staying versus waiting until March or worse communicate in R2 the promotion/relegation system.

Interesting draw when you consider Upwey finished 5th last year on 34pts and Mt Evelyn finished 6th on 32pts (so no finals) yet Upwey this year play Wandin/Narre/Woori collectively 6 times and Mt Evelyn play the same 3 only 4 times.. Essentially an 8 pt breather for Upwey!!!

Some really poor timing from the league around this and with consideration to the comprised draw in Premier league where we have 18 rounds split over 12 teams. Some of the likely bottom half teams have some real inequity when it comes to playing prior year top 2/3.

Yes agree. Not sure who we’ve got in pre season games as yet but have Upwey round 1. Have heard they’ve recruited well and should be a definite finals contender so will be interesting to see where we are at.

Be great to hear what’s happening outside one club! Over the same old same garbage about Powelltown and the dribbling out of pumppineapple pumpkin head or whatever the **** he calls himself. Great to see premier league starting much earlier than last year with a few games in the 1st week of...
What year was it that Wandin lost to Woori in the GF and subsequently went on the biggest spending spree the comp has ever seen?

Surely Berwick & Beaconsfield netball get told to move on. To be honest would have told those who wanted out in the footy to go also. Really hard to plan and settle on a structure when we can’t guarantee who’s coming or going. If you’re in sign in for 5yrs and if you’re not then see you later...
Super win by Wandin yesterday. Thought their early inaccurate kicking may have come back to haunt them but they were to good for to long. Richardson goalless last two outings against Wandin. Hodgett with 5, Mullett with 6 and Hirst with a box load of possession. Certainly the best side we played...
