Just had a read of it. Hearing not a very happy team at Sunbury. Players set to depart for Gisborne and other local teams if they haven’t already done so.

Issue being?

Player egos or coach dissatisfaction?

It’s a money issue so I would say player ego. Every one who plays football these days thinks they’re worth money. Has the BFL got player clearances available online?

It's not publicly accessible.
It'd be disappointing for Sunbury if there were an exodus, from the outside it's seemed they've done a good job of developing their players & you'd hope any issues can be worked through.

Yes I agree. Time will tell, this is only from what I’ve over heard last night at dinner at the social club.

Childcare for an hour whilst the parents nip to the shops for some last minute items?

But agree, primary school age shouldn’t even start pre-season until March

Don't know much about it, but if the training is pretty light hearted, (which I imagine it would be for kids of that age), and it gets them off phones, iPads and computers etc, gives them some exercise and allows them to make new friends and learn to socialise then surely it is not something to complain about.

Beep tests, Yo Yo tests, sprints etc all should be banned until U18s…work on the skills and fundamentals !

The gathering was for the kids for Christmas. A harmless bit of fun and got the kids off their iPads and phones. Was well received by all. Sunbury are in a good place and the mass exodus you are mentioning is far from the case. They will be thereabouts in 2025. Have a great batch of experienced and young players combined with some good recruiting.
