Well when I heard north of the state border I immediately thought of Hay.

Sadly, not to be

Just imagine crazy and forrest driving to hay for an away game

Just give the game back to the volunteers.

100% but there’s gotta be a body that controls the sport, something that ensure some of that sports bet wedge filters down to the boys slogging it out in the yinnars and port fairy’s of the comp

When constituents elect the controlling body, the controlling body starts caring about its constituents .
VCFL model saw such a process , whilst a significant selling point was for similar to happen regionally ( commissions) it barely lasted 12 months once the VCFL was wound up and funds were consumed by AFL Vic .

16 Sandhurst players. A notable number.

Is it true Ballarat ask Gisborne to join them?

 

[Slammin Sammy Says]

Looking at Murray FL and GVFL they both have 12 teams.

Not knowing anything about either league but I imagine the GVFL might not want a 13th team (Moama) so the option of joining the Bendigo FL with just the 8/9 teams could fit.

Looking at the 2024 ladder it seems Echuca United would not pursue a move to the Bendigo FL but there is precedence with Broadford....

I don't know but to my thinking with Melton South leaving and reducing the number of teams from 11 to 10 in the Ballarat FL this would be an ideal set up so why pursue Gisborne?

United would be broady by 150 +
Wrong echuca too, it'd be the bombers the bfl would want

I always enjoyed the bye round when I played. A lot of leagues like giving clubs a break.

Can always have a split round

Don’t get me started on this crap. There is a ridiculous Sandhurst bias here. Some very good players missing out. This is not a talent program but a program for who can kiss ass the best. There is some bang average footballers on that list that will be no where near the level required.
