I was reliably told that enquires were made to all 3 of those clubs about moving to Bendigo, and all 3 were very quick to decline, primarily as they all saw it as being a big step backwards.

It's a shame ,I was looking forward to the traditional Broadford v Echuca blockbuster!
I'm thinking
I'd rather go camping with Ivan
A five step road map to recovery for BFNL.
1. Board coup. Enough spots will be up for grabs for a ticket to get those board positions available and get a foothold into the halls of power.
2. Exit the hub. Pay whatever it takes to get a suitably qualified, motivated gm independent of AFLCV to spearhead the revival.
3. Cut whatever ties, promises made with Broadford and go with 8 teams for 2-3 years to consolidate. new regime get runs on board to entice Moama in first instance before putting out feelers to others north of Bendigo. Rochester, Echuca.
4. Make changes. Be proactive. Ditch QEO finals in first two weeks and rotate them around to clubs like flat, south, Castlemaine to give them chance to make a bob and feel as though they’re truly part of comp.
5. New regime meets with coaches on monthly basis to understand where they think the comp should be tracking into future. Request coaches to become media friendly and talk up the comp at every opportunity under new regime.
Unless steps 1 & 2 are followed through sadly it’s more of the same.

I heard at least one didn’t even entertain a conversation.
Bit like when you’re the bottom side and being smashed by 150 most weeks and you can’t even get guys to sit down with you.
You’ve got my vote for chair.
He's going to be effin busy playing VFL and also with Sandhurst, North Ballarat and Birchip Watchem.
Rochy will never under any circumstances come back
He seemed to be struggling with injuries towards the end of last season and I believe has now signed with Nightcliff in the NTFL.
If Roota is correct Sandhurst may need to wrap him up cotton wool.
There is no rush to move him or any others on. Fantastic club people all of them.
Not sure if this is satire or not ron?

Gee Square v Flat might actually be a close rivalry match the way the offseason is going for Square… bye bye Ricky Monti

Confirmed he and Toma to Cohuna?
Not a great off season for the bulldogs if so. Losing your best two players due in part to teammates behaviour and culture? Or is it just a money thing?

What if Echuca were to move? After all, Rochy’s foundation was predicated on beating them.

Cohuna posted it today it’s confirmed Monti is signed
So excited they posted it twice. Lol
Moama is officially exploring options about joining the GVFL or Bendigo league.
Would struggle in GV
I think Bendigo league would be a great option..

You think it's that simple? Shows how little you know.
