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.

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...

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...

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...

Bit tough on Patty there. He has battled some pretty serious injuries over the years yet year after year he backs up gives his best and plays ultimate team footy whether in ruck or pushing fwd. I watched one final and thought he was pretty serviceable. End of the day if Pat Cariss was on the...

Redan are a strong CLUB, not built aruond any individuals, they will survive and move forward, however agree some big losses of experienced premiership players IF this is true, I guess we have to wait and see in the press in the coming days if it is. What is the situation with JED?

What is the latest news with the Bacchus Marsh and Melton coaching jobs,anyone heard of any potential applicants or favourites for either??? Heard a previous coach may come back and coach Melton?

Tappy Do you play Football? If so, what level? Are you on a BFL club committee? If so What club? Do you know Scoble? If so, how? Have your opinions on Scoble, thats fine, you have every right to rate him however you choose, if he has played against you he probably rates you the same way, it is...

Sergey Power wants job, Sergey Power gets Job!! Mad to let him walk! Maybe those they want a change have a vested interest in the change??

I would still say that if both powers were not to coach next year, it would be both their call. I agree though that the knives will come out Darley on brother Matthew should he lose this weekend, however think Mark at Sunbury would be making his own call. Tips for this week, Redan to beat East...

What a weekend of football in the BFL by the sounds of it. Didnt see any myself so cant comment on it. I think: The grand final is out of 3, east sunbury and redan. I think Sunbury will play the winner of the first final between east and redan in the grand final. For the loser to then have to...

This is a good discussion. I think what has to be kept in perspective, is yes it is terrific recruiting by both East and Redan, you have to use your connections and if your good enough to get the players and recruit them and keep them, you should be congratulated as obviously the club has a...

No use talking about Sunbury Coaching, Serge deserves it and has it for another 2 yrs I believe also. Word has it Darley job will come down to a decision from one person, and that is the current coach Matt Power. he will determine his own fate, players support him, one thing to say that he cant...

Redan seem to be the pace setters at the moment. Still you dont win premierships in July everyone. fact is, from the footy I have seen this year any of the top 5 sides could win the premership, it will totally depend on injuries and who is available on the day. Spoke with an insider yesterday...

Did any Ballarat LEague unders get picked in the State West v East Game? I heard king, wright, ross, krojs, innes and abella were all good chances. The big ruckmen Clarence I think, was also in the squad, bigger ask for the big fella his competition would have been very strong from the other...

Northey has done a super job with the list he has, although I think the list is better than what people give credit. Maybe someone might take your advice Polly lions and go after both Chapman and Scoble as a double act?

What does the coaching merry go round in the BFL hold for next year. What are the likely moves....... Will Melton, melton South, Bacchus Marsh, Sunbury, Darley, East, Redan all have new coaches??

The two Powers are arguably the two best coaches in the BFL. Great rivallry and both showing they are doing great things with young sides. I imagine there is to be a fair push for Demon Power to return to Sunbury and partner up his younger brother Mark, if that happens, look out, would be very...

With you KingsArmy, i pick up the Ballarat Courier on Monday and as usual, all images of Sunbury players over the top of East players and then East coach whingeing about Jordans treatment during the game. We all know the BFL point of view on praying for Ballarat sides to be playing off and...

Best players I have seen this year in the few games including rep games I have seen are King from Darley, Jezza from South and Innes from Sebas, all are absolute beauties, all look like men playing a boys game amongst the rest. Others with bright futures include Ross and Wright from Sunbury...

Thats a Fair call grimmet. I am not saying that the BFL are not a Division 1 league, this year they were. What annoys me is all you hear from those running the league is how good it is, what I am saying is instead of over marketing themselves, maybe they should be focussing on the grass roots...
