Bendigo FL discussion 2024

[Test Tickle]

If you are referring to my comments on certain Sandhurst players needing to be dropped I think you will find my comments were pretty accurate. Nally was dropped and Mills came back in. If you watched the game you would have to agree that Palpratt struggled to play any discerning part in the game ( 10 disposals) and Ireland lacked influence ( although he copped a decent hit to be fair to him). Arnold I am comfortable making a call before the fact and if you want to spend your time critiqueing me after the fact it's all yours.

Pallpratts main aim was to put Bernacki off his game and get under his skin.

You’ll have to wait till at least 2026 then. Some interesting news coming soon on this front I reckon

My mail is recess till 2026 at least, Perry signed elsewhere (legend) and Lanfranchi signing with another BFNL team, not sure who yet.

Lafranchi should be 10 points to any bfl club if he's signed before a club decision

I think the decision has been made internally long ago.

I’m told by people who attended their last home game that it was pretty clear what was happening then.

I highly doubt he's going to flat is he

No idea but if history is a guide there’s a few standout clubs when it comes to picking over the bones of the struggling ones, my money would be there.

Why should he be any different to any other footballer in the game Trent. He can play wherever he wants to . Think your being a bit precious.

Castlemaine?

I hope he goes to Sandhurst

 

[Iceman27]

Broadford been given the big tick of approval

I have spoken to 6 or 7 players I know from Broadford that played at other clubs this year and not one of them have said there going back to play at Broadford.

Just can’t see how this gets up.

It's not a great look when a club is on its knees and a club in the same league actively raids them high on the ladder. It's not a bendigo problem, it's become a problem through the state. Should be 4 points plus a point added for every ladder position the team is higher. So if he went to sandhurst he's 12 points

No. What do you want him to do not play? He’s allowed to move the more people playing footy the better and good on him if it’s true and staying in the Bendigo league playing decent footy. Everyone here is moaning about the standard of the league dropping well a good way to stop that is keep good players playing in it.

Apart from a handfull of games at Natte, I think hes only played at Maryborough and and with the uncertainty there(Are they going into recess or disbanding) who could blame him for getting himself organised.

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

The blames not on the player, it's on the strong club for actively seeking to recruit him. It's a massive issue now in footy and we need preventative measures

I agree wholeheartedly but not in the case of a club going into recess.

How Gisborne can be allowed to have three Castlemaine kids playing in the Grand Final team and get points discounts for them is why the system is a joke and doing squat to change anything.

What point discounts did they get? Genuine question

Points reduce by 1 for each year of service. May have started on 4, then down to 1 after three years.

I get that but that’s different to what was being hinted at

 

[Long Run]

The real danger of going into recess is players might not come back. The evidence was there for all to see in the O&M grand final, four players by my count, who played at Corowa in 2022, moved to either Yarrawonga or Wang Rovers when Corowa went into recess in 2023, but didn't return this year when Corowa came back.

Exactly, so we get the farcical situation where Gisborne can poach a former junior from a struggling club, and he is the Michelson medalist and carries a single point into their games.

Anyone with half a brain can see that is an abject failure of policy, it’s just unfortunate it’s half too many for AFL VIC.

Wasnt he a Harcourt junior. What do you propose to replace the current points system. The system as wrong or right as you perceive at least provides a framework for everyone to work within. If you cant keep your juniors bad luck. Wouldnt have gone where hes gone in his footy career unless he thought it was good for him, which includes not playing at Castlemaine. Again the constant Castlemaine winge with no solution. Have a look within perhaps.
