Bendigo FL discussion 2024

[Arnold Horshack]

Apparently the culture is so good he is paying to play.

Is becoming a whining victim part of the induction?

 

[flagpies23]

Not that many superstars from the cmfl days
Carroll
Brown
Landry
Easily the best 3

Treacy and Thompson did alright

Not sure but I can 100% guarantee he won’t get a building permit as a sign on bonus.

Why does the discussion around Pioneers nominations not involve any names?
Lots of accusations about the selection process but little use of detail. Plenty of suggestions that this kid here or that kid there were crucified but no names mentioned.

And while I'm at, is everybody in here really so naive as to believe that the best kid at each club in the region should make the squad? The squad exists to identify and develop potential AFL talent, not reward a kid for being the best player at his local club. If you're an early developed man child with no scope for significant improvement, who bullies smaller kids with his size and is an ordinary kick, should you really make the squad? The 205cm kid that can run but currently isn't much good is always going to get a look because he already has an AFL attribute and talent development will hopefully assist with gaining others.

Happy to acknowledge the Pios history on field is hardly stellar but the competition is unique within the football world. It doesn't exist to reward kids like an interleague squad, or indeed to win games specifically, it exists purely to produce talent for AFL clubs to consider.

I agree with this summation pretty much to the letter. I would only add that there are some players ( won’t name them as I don’t reckon that is fair given their age) from Goulburn Valley League Clubs- Kyabram/ Echuca/ Rochester- that are not on the list that are far more accomplished as players than Bendigo based club selections due to the fact, mainly, they play in a far superior competition. ( in addition to their talent). The obsession with potting the number of Sandhurst players getting a crack is interesting as history shows not a lot of them go on to play Senior footy at that club.

what is a PS5 BONUS

 

[MortlockWatcher]

I'm guessing PlayStation 5 ...

 

[saintron]

WHAT some people put idiotic things on here that make no sense

 

[tasmanlvr]

Truslove signs as coach of Banyule in NFNL Div 1. Should end all that speculation then

Castlemaine it would be a voucher at iga

 

[Forest St End]

Free ham from the Bacon Factory.

 

[Slammin Sammy Says]

Free ham from the Bacon Factory.

Free tin of Castlemaine Rock

 

[MortlockWatcher]

Queenslanders won't come to the party - they rejected a request to chuck in a few slabs of Castlemaine XXXX for each recruit.

Will be good for junior footy and to ease pressure on the Wade st mud pit

Maybe you could deliver the whining victim session? No one better qualified.

12 of their premiership side have been been part of Pioneer pre seasons at one time or another. Not enough for you?

Doesn't include those that played seniors and are now in the AFL, SANFL or about to be drafted but you keep coming up with these gems.

I hope Castlemaine don’t look like they will get too competitive - the auditors will be there in a heartbeat !

Oooooohhhhhhhh!

Have I hurt your feelings Arnie?

Surely he can coach Broadford as well? Wouldn't be the hard with no players and all of that!

 

[Test Tickle]

[Bakers_Patrons]

Why would the BFL go after Broadford surely there would better options ;

• MGYCW - growth area and local
• Maryborough- help a club that had been a huge part of league for so long
• Calder Lions - instant flag favourites, crowds the league could only dream of

All 3 better than Broadford option

What are your thoughts on the Pioneers set up Arnold? You are clearly across the data but would like to know is it good/ bad/indifferent?

Surely upgrade the daylights out of it and move senior club there. Bigger ground more room, with upgrades would have better facilities. Wade St is crap.
