Mrs Sproule......that's bright! Did I hit close to the mark there. I am just stating what many believe to have happened, the players ruled the roost, not saying that does not happen at a lot of clubs, not at good ones though. The issue for Port is they have aligned with some players that have...

Nothing worse than a spineless footy club and it looks like port have answered the roll call again. Blind freddy can see Sproule took on the worse toughest job in the region and to actually get them competitive nether lone win without breaking the bank is an amazing effort, and clearly those...

Anyone know if Echuca playing a praccy this weekend?

Hi anyone know if Moama or echuca United got praccy games on this weekend. Heading up to Moama and with no skiing looking for something to do. Bit of local footy would be great

Fair bit of work to be done down the highway with a mass exodus put on hold whilst the coach tries to work through some issues with their best players to stop more heading into the rdfl. Both tough these days but better to keep players than face the battle of replacing them!

Fitzgerald to Rupertswood. Expect half a dozen good signings over the next 21 days!

I can speak on behalf of most of the umpires in this league and say that reporting players is the last thing we want to do. Umpiring been good this year, although reporting a guy for telling the runner to tell the bench he is "fu&$ed" might contradict that last quote a bit. Maybe that umpire...

Riddell reserves have been fortunate have very solid same group for number years, many of these guys like one eyed blue says believe wanted to try luck to play more senior footy bit of $$ elsewhere. All good fellas great great service welcomed back. Unfortunately for rnd 1 there was up to a...

Any word on how couple ex Riddell boys Matty Sammut Kane North are going at west meadows!!

Would have been a terrific initiative, capitalise on the rivalry. I think all clubs should continue to assess their sustainability, that is good governance, however it also seems as though whenever a club starts to struggle for a few years, not many people look at the decisions that have been...

Will the standard of the BFL rise this year or be one of those years where it drops. Amazing to see how many ex bfl stars you could really call them have exited the league over the last 2 years, in saying that maybe it is an opportunity for a new generation of stars to take the league into the...

The concern is really for any club outside the 6 that is recruiting players if they are. The bottom 5 are clearly a fair way off so you hope they are just trying to build with local kids for the future if any spending then in trouble IMO. Ballarat finish 6th but even themselves seem a fair way...

So after 12 months the landscape is the same in the Bfl top 6. Question: do people think the gap has gotten bigger this year? It seems like 6th at end of home away will be very clear of 7 and the gap to the big 5 is even greater. The top 5 looks very competitive though.

Absolute no brainer, choice simple, keep status quo and sit back watch teams keel over, or support all teams surviving and split league. Got to make choice as the league in its current state is cooked!

Sunbury were 10-15 goals better than rest last year and have recruited half dozen players so will be better with more depth again. So sunbury gap, nth city to challenge with excellent recruiting, Grieg Edwards micalef that's good. Think these two with a further gap to darley redan agree losing...

Many clubs starting their pre season campaign for 2013, how is everyone looking at the moment, has anyone been able to build their list enough to see them challenge sunbury. Crystal balling to 2013 does anyone really think outside redan and city they can challenge sunbury for the flag, and not...

AFL draft tonight and lots of talk on o'rourke and plowman going top 3, no matter where they go this is further testament to the rdjfl and rdfl as a competition to breed and develop draftees. With guthrie, markworth, Sheridan And Kennedy also going in recent years the league is showing everyone...

The umpiring decisions in the gf were no doubt questionable, if not woeful, but romsey should still have won in my Opinion, had a lead to defend a sizable lead and sunbury to their credit kept coming until the final bell went. Having come from the bfl to the rdfl, the umpiring is worse, believe...

Sunbury v redan: whole year of nothing to have same teams meet again on gf day. Credit to both these clubs, whilst everyone else keeps plugging away over summer hoping to push the best sides, really they are so far off these two it ain't funny, some would argue the gap is in fact bigger than 12...

Has gone on for far far too long mufassa. I am not denying the talent of redan or any club in being able to win a flag they are super sides and I have utmost respect for them. But you cannot tell me that it was or is not harder to win a flag if your an eastern bloc team because of this. I recall...

Super recruit to city and the league to stop the tide of gun players leaving comp and not many coming over last few years. Don't worry about age, he kicked average of 3 or 4 goals in the superior Gfl last year in a side that only won 5 games and played up ground. In a side like city in the...

Sorry rexxy will clarify my point. Was saying the AIM is that type of list. When saying 10 players with senior vfl experience I mean 10 Bona fides vfl players, seniors or walk up start seasoned reserve player, not a blow in and out who plays half local half vfl reserves. I was looking at the...

Dawson Sniped at first bounce hahaha two guys tried to grab the ball one rebounded off other, sniped...hahahaha

Guys congrats to both romsey and sunbury beat us last two weeks and proven to be the best two sides deserving to play off next week. This was my first year of rdfl footy after 15 years of bfl footy I make the following summations: - really enjoyed the bumper crowds this year a s opposed to the...

The reality is for any clubs wanting to win a bfl premiership, the blue print to aim for is simply 10 players with vfl senior experience a reserve side that is in top4 and unders that are top 4 with 6 players minimum wih tac cup experience. Sme clubs may be lucky to have less than this but you...

The bfl has real issues like many leagues and the vcfl need to help clean it up and create synergies amongst clubs and leagues. The ol chestnut of it is a better standard is being ignored by players and spectators for bigger crowds, greater town v town rivalries,less travel as a whole and...

Like u said pickman was very hard to determine, was line ball. If the right result was got that is the main thing now and thankfully the panthers cemented a finals spot with that win. The issue of concern is the process and the calls from many clubs over the years about umpiring has merit...

YOur right guys, you actually can go around in circles looking at the issue from all different angles. I am aware of what the EDFL and metro's pay players and agree the positive they have whilst not chargeing a gate is the greater access to sponsorship etc. As I said, just throwing a different...

Clearly the gate is perceived to be an invaluable source of income to football clubs, probably more so country or rural clubs as opposed to metropolitan leagues. The metro leagues don't charge a gate. I offer a devils advocate argument to this issue for discussion and understand there are so...

haha yes remember that call by derm. Fair wrap though for haysey when the man himself says he is as talented footballer that he had played with, unfortunately for haysey knees cut him down and noone will ever know....but I am sure that is the story with 1000's of players out there. You take your...
