It’s confirmed in the EFL to under 20s guessing northern will follow suit
Really? I heard they were extending the age like the EFL are. I think it would be much better as it would keep those young blokes at clubs who probably weren’t going to play footy ever again and it would bring more players into clubsThey are not changing the 19.5 rule what they will do is be more sympathetic to dispensation requests. This will allow them to monitor the over aged ones and if they start to dominate they can withdraw the dispensation, its very sneaky idea which will allow blokes to play but not play well. I recon there will be a few lads that will not appear in the best of if they kick a bag will only have 1 recorded....

Lower look to have done really well.Any word on players leaving or signing back on at clubs?
I know a lot of clubs are now trying to lock away all players for next year, if they haven’t already
Have they recruited?Lower look to have done really well.
Sides like them who aren’t only about money will probably thrive.
I agree but they can still play just with dispensation. This allows the League to monitor the older ones to make sure they are not dominating and dispensation can be removed. Its the same as every year just they will be more lenient to those that missed 2020.
Still may change. EFL have gone to 18s and 20s and YJFL looking at going to 18s. If YJFL go to 18s then NFL will have no alternative then to go to 20s as there may be a lot of clubs - Heidelberg, St Mary's, Banyule, Macleod, Bundoora, etc who may struggle to field 19s due to lack of numbers
It is the reality, but it’s a ridiculous one really. Why earn $300 when you can get $500-$600 in a lower division as one of the highest paid players . The salaries are way to close to lower levels and the standard of the higher Division is going to suffer big time!Hearing rumblings of some unhappy players in D1. Unfortunately 200k to 100k is a 50% drop and players need to understand that’s the reality
Agreed mate, pretty average Reservoir can spend 20k less than Eltham for example.It is the reality, but it’s a ridiculous one really.

The salaries are way to close to lower levels and the standard of the higher Division is going to suffer big time!
It’s a good move overall. I know so many clubs in serious debt over the years. It’s simply not sustainable and a huge burden on clubs and volunteers.I think the lowering of caps and a unified approach across Melbourne/Vic is a sensible thing to do, but 100% they've gone too far with it...
Interested to know what the clubs think, and how the players react - more movement/less movement, potential loss of players? There are certainly some blokes that are decent footballers that might pull the pin if they can make more at work on a Saturday, which would be a shame for those of us that love good quality local footy.
Gone are the days In paying a couple of stars $1k a game. You’d have to think your max player would be on $600-$700. It’s going to hurt the standard badly. In saying that I’m sure there will be clubs paying players through TAB tickets or the like!I think the lowering of caps and a unified approach across Melbourne/Vic is a sensible thing to do, but 100% they've gone too far with it...

Journo that has no facts and want clicks. Whilst there is possibilities this could happen the way we are going we will be able to train earlier. Its only 8 Oct, to go out on a limb I predict groups of 10 by early Nov and 1 Jan proper training...
I cant read the article but the current roadmap allows full contact training for adults on Nov 23rd.
Lets hope mate, it was just sensational journalism, have a headline with worst possible results speak to a few unknown people and scare people into clicking on her link. I have no idea but they may get paid more for the more clicks, I am sure there is things like that do happen.
For better or worse we won’t be opening up until cases aren’t very low. Dan Andrews like him or not has shown he’ll stick to a plan despite any pressure.local footy/rugby seemed to go ahead with no/minimal issues in all other states. Once under control in Vic, and I well and truly it is under control by Christmas there should be no fear with the season going ahead to the “new normal”
