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...

Nothing surprises me! Car services, leases, TAB vouchers etc. Some are compliant, some are complicit, which is why the Cap has to go!

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...

I’m not just talking about Shannon. There appears to be a shift in players going to district leagues.

This is becoming more common—great players heading to district football. I wonder why?

I wonder if the step-up isn't as great as it used to be. That's no disrespect to Herbert who can play.

Son of Gavin?

North mate

Don't think so mate

I just wandered down to Arden Street to watch North Melb v Williamstown, in a 4 X 20-minute game. The sides had mostly players trying to get on a list. It is fair to say Hugh Byrne was BOG easily!

So we are drinking from the Devil's cup?

While current regulations exist it is impossible to rise from the bottom quickly. Every side has the same cap and some have a few more points but that's it! Good luck if you are in the bottom 4!

The good folk of Rochester will never forget the treatment they received in the early 70's from the Bendigo League. That League was super strong in the 80's to mid 90's. In the past 12 months, Kyneton has left, Maryborough is in recess, K Flat is on the edge and Castlemaine is having their last...

The Points system has never taken into account small country towns that struggle to produce big junior numbers. It's the complete opposite of equalization.

I'm not sure how small towns get improved junior numbers whilst players attend schools in bigger cities. Echuca is three to four times larger than Tatura, which indicates little hope of success for the Bulldogs under the current jurisdictions. Echuca joining the Bendigo League? I'm not sure a GV...

Harry Boyd to be taken by St Kilda

I just added supposedly to the previous post lol.

Wouldn't it be ironic to have points and a salary cap that supposebly promotes equalization and then have a draw that does the complete opposite?

Actually it's 90 if you include thirds. Who in their right mind would take that Coaching gig on?

The current regulations will see to that!

It will be interesting to see what occurs in the future but unless Moama joins the GVFL, Echuca will always be the destination club within the town. The town will continue to grow, junior numbers will continue to grow and the club will go from strength to strength.

The current unstable environment of the BFNL is a determining factor! The GV instantly gains a rivalry with the Moama V Echuca clash and the Broadford circus does not help matters.

No way will Moama join the Bendigo League

I understand the juniors' point, but when you have a town of 25k compared to a town of 2-3k, that becomes more difficult to pull off. This was not taken into consideration under the current auspices.

Wouldn't mind a few mate.

If you lose your two rucks, a couple of gun mids, a key forward etc they will be hard to replace. For mine, Morris would be the biggest loss as his presence and ability to kick goals whilst resting forward will be sorely missed if he retires.

Echuca will need to find some quality. Tenace and C Willoughby - Carlton VFL ( Not sure if they will play but in the mix) S Willoughby- QLD/ A Byrne- Qld Prout- Carlton VFL- Aberfeldie K Morris- not sure if he is going around again?

It's a pretty important topic. If what has happened is true, then I would assume people would/should step aside as the BFNL was not run with the integrity it should've been. The natives are restless with Kyneton gone, Maryborough's demise, and the ridiculous concept that Broadford has something...

Sam Darley …could play for 4 clubs in a season !

I think this is wide of the mark. Willis became a popular and much liked player inside the club.
