Last post, but I think they will be looking at developing their fringe young players of last year and in the next 2 years find 6 or 7 good senior players, to add to the 5 or so left from the grand final side.

Then nitschke and hunter will come back better players and coach and have widened their contacts to bring 2 or 3 players with.them.

The biggest factor will be if the golden rivers falls over and whether or not they will gain or lose players to macorna wandella and murrabit who appear like they'll go to the lodfon Valley. They might gain juniors and then lose them back I'd kids move for uni or work south. As there will be less travel playing around Bendigo most weeks

Trent here guys, i decided to quit big footy, im nearly 43 and to be honest its not that high on my priority list in life at the moment, ive been on here 18 years and thats time. I did not expect it to take up forum space or chat

My views on footy might be out dated to some and id just prefer to spend my saturdays now watching my sons play footy and involved there, rather than worry about the plight of Koondrook barham and country footy. Crippa and co really didnt have too big of an impact on me quitting, i give as good as i get on these forums.

I would like to think i do know a little about the cmfl as a former player and avid spectator over the years, crippa is partly correct i think my last live game may have been 2019 watching, although i do prefer to watch country footy over the AFL, so i tune into a cmfl game on the net rather watching afl.

Ive been lucky enough to be involved in a quite a few footy clubs over the years and played under numerous coaches as well as though my work ive been lucky to see footy clubs across the state in the country and metro, where i think ive gained a pretty fair and broad understanding of what makes a successful club, how clubs turn their fortunes around and recruiting and having coaches and the board on the same page. Crippa and co seem to think that the Woorineen model is the be all and end all, which is fine and take Marcus' word as gospel.

The club im involved in just released their annual report and its evident that everyone is on the same page, even though they have lost many of their best players in the seniors, they'll still play finals as i say the club is well run, good junior programs that develops good players and teaches kids to play the right way and they a plan in place.

I will put it out there Crippa if the blues are short on players in the reserves, i'l lcome up and line up at centre half back in the twos against woorineen, hope to see you out there and ill keep an eye out on the results through the year. Im sure ill be reminded if the raiders go deep in finals , and you guys just enjoy about posting about local footy
Signing out Trentos

As a casual viewer I just want to say Trent your views will be missed mate. Over the last 10-15 years many posters have dropped off bigfooty that really new the game and had great insight at club level. Really hope you do a backflip and come back with some views of local footy and a bit of banter. Silver tongue and roota are right, respect each other’s opinions before all valuable insight from posters goes and this page really turns to crap.

Going well on here since Trent left!
 
River Raiders sign another one Benji Neal as “co coach”. Looks to be a similar scenario of when Vezpremi was “co coach” at Woorinen as I am led to believe Neal resides in QLD. Another good get though by Demaria surely they have run out of money with the quantity of recruits. Barham will definitely be the biggest improvers this coming season.

Corvo and Neal best of mates. They wouldn’t be cheap either. But both went to Robinvale and played brilliant footy till corvo done his knee early last year. Both went missing grand final day against Irymple in 23 but got them there on their own backs. Will be big improvement for the raiders this year.

Plenty of money, he wouldn’t have taken the job otherwise. Points will pull them up before money does

The quality does rise when you put the clows on ignore.

What does being named as playing co coach do for you in terms of points/salary cap? Is there a huge benefit?

The view is that clubs use it to try and have some of a players salary not included in the salary cap.

I’m not across salary cap things so not sure how it all works.

What I do know is that a club I know off “appointed” a gun player as coach to ensure only half his salary was in the cap and not once did he take a training session or address his playing group at a break
