From memory, I believe the club who wanted to join our SE division was called Samaria Suns Sorry, I thought I had heard that the current umpires were paid less than the previous organisation - maybe I was misinformed Sorry, I thought I had heard that clubs had taken concerns to the league about...

mixed emotions , thank you for your excellent post. (copied below:)) On a few issues: Super job by Jerilderie on saturday hosting -> Agreed, the manner they handled the parking was excellent, keeping a track of the limited spaces available inside the grounds and allowing extras to top up as...

the * used to refer to overage players, not sure if that has changed, but according to the rules outlined around permit players they are only allowed to play finals if their home club isn't playing finals and they had already played the set number of games on permit. Clubs would be more likely...

In regards to your second point above about junior numbers in other leagues, would you like to elaborate a little please, just to put it in context please, especially in relation to location, thanks. In regards to U11's it is interesting to see the different approach taken by different clubs...

Now that the season is done and dusted, if the league does not either pick up or lose any more clubs, interested to know peoples opinions on the finals structure with the top 8 etc. IMO I think the pass out system between grounds for each day in the first weekend worked well with the...

Really - was told yesterday Strathy had a fourths boy playing yesterday and throughout the finals for them? Pretty sure noticed Waaia and Rennie doing the same and Rennie had at least one backup between fourths and thirds in the prelims last weekend? On that point - do those who don't think...

are you surprised? pretty clearly stated on this thread it is only and all about seniors.

genuine question - how many teams in the league have 22 players in their thirds teams please?

Please enlighten us - how many clubs actually have 22 players in the their thirds teams?

Just wondering if anyone can advise me please if the extra division for next season is still likely, or a definite, or no longer on the cards, or what timeframe the league is working to in relation to this matter. Thanks in advance.

Not sure where you pulled that from - no where have there been any mention of a win at all cost mentality in this discussion. Also if you can't see the relevance of how excited parents and families are to see their kids being supported encouraged and getting opportunities such as this weekend...

Thank you for your well thought out reply and input into this discussion and sharing your personal experience. As mentioned in my original post I have seen instances of how devicesive promoting some kids at the expense of others can be and believe when it is done it should only be done with very...

again I will repeat - I have never never ever said that kids who are capable of playing senior football should be held back and made to play exclusively junior football, you have either totally misinterpreted my point, ignoring what I am actually saying or are trying to twist and manipulate my...

". If that comes at the expense of junior grade success so be it." It takes one hell of a lot for most kids to achieve junior grade success. Pretty sure when kids experience the ultimate success they grow in confidence and belief, build ongoing bonds and friendships and relationships which in...

Clubs were the younger inexperienced kids learn off the experienced better players are the ones which have ongoing continual success. It is well known that even when the Nathalia juniors weren't experiencing great success the bond and relationship between juniors and seniors at that club has...

Very disappointed to see you state this, you have repeatedly both publicly and privately promoted your passion and extremely high care level and interest in juniors and yet here you state the average or lesser junior player is just a sacrificial lamb for the few elite juniors which emerge around...

This is a very disappointing attitude IMO, I have witnessed the situation in a variety of sports and teams where the elite are given fantastic promotion and development opportunities and the average or struggling players are left to flounder and struggle without the touch of class to rub off on...

Or alternatively compared to the Katunga boys who played full game of thirds QF in the morning and backed up starting in senior EF that arvo at a different venue. May also be other examples out there of boys being full parts of both 3rds and seniors week in week out and not just subbing. On the...

Also agree - he has a history of wanting to put footy terminology onto netball which IMO is highly disrespectful and downright dumb, very unprofessional - pretty sure GA isn't equivalent to FF and netball teams don't win by a couple of kicks (we hope anyway :eek:) Having watched the young lad...

Ok thanks - haven't seen him before this year and then only in a couple of games, also heard there may be a few other cracker players around in the same boat, something to do with the sub rule or something?

Sounds like sour grapes there,:grapes::'( bit pathetic considering it is only junior sport in a small country league, let the kids enjoy their rewards mate - obviously the umpires from their games thought they were deserving

Why would he not be eligible "The Roar Is Back", heard someone say he is still a thirds boy - is that the reason? Is the award for a first year senior?

Whats the crack Umpires aside, what was your opinion of the game - any stand outs? How do you rate Blighty's chances against Picola next week? They appear to have been playing a spiteful brand of football this finals series - wouldn't think Picola would buy into that.

that's a bit harsh Whats the crack , one seemed okay-ish, but yeah 2 out of 3 were bad.

Does anyone know if the League vote count is going to be live streamed again this year please and if there will be progress updates posted anywhere from the junior count?

See by the SF draw on website all Rennie football teams are off to Mathoura when they are hosting the previous day - interesting to see if that changes or not

Great question - the answer is??? anyone?

the funny things you see and hear in the middle of the night at work.... Ay Browny - hear about the league changing the finals around next weekend? What do you mean mate? Theyve sent out something about some clubs having their days swopped Nah that can't be right - Saturdays are qualifying...

Sooo, future of juniors not "real footy issue" to you, hmmmmm, interesting :think: and sad :(

I took the feedback about permits was taken into account hence the change been looked into for player sharing instead of limiting/capping squad size? In relation to Point 15 and 16 I read that as now PDFNL is affiliated let things settle before creating more change/chaos etc - so being...
