They'll need big money coz I don't think they like working too much!

Tat look like they are losing a few. Wellington to Merrigum, Sonny Whiting back to Tassie, Lanyon O/S & James Sullivan to Bendigo is the word.

And Jake Reeves plus a few more??

Reckon they are still a fair way off it - would need to add at least 5-6 very good players to challenge the likes of Swans/Benalla.

You would think Donka would be saying 'see ya later'. Fair enough clubs needs to make hard calls , but it seems a harsh in this situation where he's stepped up to the plate on the back of a controversial finish last year, when the club needed someone to step in and steady the ship. You...

They've been raiding other clubs and paying big $$ for a while now, it's come back to bite them on the ass!!

Have heard it is very true.. not a great look from a senior coach

Top 6 Swans Benalla Kyabram Tatura Euroa Rochester

Bull crap, swans would be close to biggest spending side now with what they've recruited the last 2 years. Going to be a lot of disappointed players missing out on a game this year. They don't look like stopping either! Got under the guard last season but massive massive pressure to win it this...

And remember what happened last time the swans went BIGGGGGG????

They have built up pretty well but still would be spending heaps! 220-230k at a guess?? Lovick, Sidebottom, Avard, Maddern, Childs, Daniels wouldn't come cheap?

United will still be one of the sides to beat.. Currie & Ross will be good fwd targets, McIntyre will help in defence and Davies will be a great pick up for midfield. Huy, DiBella, Henderson, Rendina & Davies is a pretty fair midfield group and with Looby, Butler still patrolling backline I...

...apparently a couple of guns coming into town in the next week or 2. Don't have anywhere to play yet, watch the bidding wars start!

Is Sam Martyn staying at Benalla or is he having a crack at VFL? Swans are the side to beat IMO

We'll why didn't he play thirds at the Swans then Sanger if he's family is Swans through and through??? Good try mate, piss poor excuse really. His old man got sacked as coach, so not sure he would love the Swans all that much. All the credibility the Swans have built up is quickly...

Kayne Pettifer?

Archard...Kyabram???

Very confident of playing finals apparently.

They won a flag from doing it. I think you'll find every premier in the last 10 or so years has topped up with 4-5 outside players to win the flag. What would you rather... play all locals keep everyone happy and finish 4-6th or recruit 4-5 key players and win a premiership?

Is it true Sam Martyn is looking at playing VFL and Nick Warnock might be out for the season with his hammy needing surgery? Big losses if true? Martyn would be silly not to have a crack at VFL, could be another Michael Barlow?

The old top 5 is still best format by far. No side can get leapfrogged like current system. For loser of 1 & 2 to go down to 1st Semi is a joke. I wouldn't think any side who has lost the battle of 1v2 in the 1st week, would have won a flag.

Linc Withers won a Morrison Medal flying in, but I do agree that not many have worked over the duration. Sometimes going to that 95% is a risk as well, just look at the Shepp Bears. I don't think their balance is too bad, yes long distance travelers aren't ideal, but from what I can see the kids...

Not sure I agree there fellas, I'm pretty sure over 80% of their list would be local based and would've come through the junior system. No different to most other sides really

The other top sides would be loving all this talk about Tat and their issues. Ky, benalla & united will be rubbing their hands together. Not ideal at this time of year.

Would've thought the coach is going alright at 11-1. Maybe the assistants need to pull their head in as its not all about them!

Are the wheels falling off United? Been very up and down this year. Still have a star studded side but can't seem to put it together.

Sam Martyn to win it

Great effort by Benalla on the weekend after being written off after the week before. To come from bottom the year before to being a real contender is a super effort. They should've won on the weekend too, were running the game out miles better than United. United were lucky to escape with a...

Yeah not sure... just don't agree with a current coach bagging the previous coach or the way they went about it. When a coach commits to a club, he surely understands where the club is at, when he takes over. Why blame the clubs previous development 18 months down the track, just because you are...

Maybe the coach doesn't have much of an idea?? Couldn't believe he bagged the previous coach in last weeks paper about not developing players, just a cop out from being 7-8th last year to 2nd bottom this year. Not sure the previous coach has had anything to do with that.
