Not even looking to play senior football up there and nor should cole hedwardsRKO619 said:

Who said country footy is ruined?? U talk to any bloke in their 40s or 50s and they will tell u the standard of footy is much stronger than in the old days. The crowds are much bigger and you can guarantee that every year at least half a dozen leagues in country vic break the gate record on Grand Final day. Country footy is thriving...
Players have been payed money to play for decades and its not going to change, so Earl u better get your head around it mate..
You're an absolute idiot Kelvin, country footy is thriving is it? Thats why clubs are folding left right and centre and are having to merge. Have a look outside your own club and get the complete picture/ Tooleytang is not the only club in Victoria.
Your comment on grand final crowds and gate takings is also bull********. The only reason leagues are breaking records for gate takings is because it costs you so much more each year to get in the bloody gate. Wake up
Roota the last 3 years in the cmfl have seen clubs catering on grand final day make some serious money so it would suggest crowds are up . Mallee league had record gates in their finals .I would only guess that possibly had somthing to do with one player Sonny Lindsay (gets payed to play) so well worth the investment.

How (financially) did Lalbert go this year catering for the GF Roota?? Very well as documented in the papers, so that would suggest their was a huge crowd in attendance.. Gee u can certainly talk tough in front of a computer with no one around, pity for the Lalbert Footy Club that u cannot take that sort of aggression out onto the ground and actually contribute to the teams performance.
I understand u are angry with our footy club for aquiring the services of one of your favourite sons in Lance Brown as assistant coach, but hasn't he given u blokes an enoumous amount of loyalty ever since he started playing footy, through thick and thin? He has moved onto challenge himself as an assistant of another club, so don't go holding that against him.

Wrong again. The format has affected the players most, they would miss a good one week break.
IT ISN'T ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY![/QUOTE]
Guus, you may be right on one point, it isnt ALWAYS about the money but for probably 75% of players that recruiting committees target (ie players worth a bit of cash) unfortunately the almighty kanga and playing clubs off against each other is the bottom line. I think you need to get yourself on a recruiting committee and speak to 50-60 players over pre-season and see what makes country footy tick !! This isnt league footy, a 'good one week break', for god's sake it's country footy and blokes should be able to hold up week in week out for the season and still have the desire to represent the league they play in !!

Firstly kelvin, half a dozen leagues break the gate record at their grand finals coz they chuck the price up, not from a greater attendence. Secondly, players may have been getting payed for years, but not the amount of dough they get now. Never heard of a bloke getting payed $800 a game back 10 year ago. And kelvin, one of the reasons (i'm not saying there aren't other reasons) they get payed such a ridiculous amount is coz clubs like your own can't be stuffed going outside this league and recruiting players, so instead, they put a huge price on a decent players head from within their own league that their current club can't match and then off they go.
Thirdly, how is Lance Brown challenging himself as an assistant coach? If I'm not mistaken wasn't he a senior coach of Lalbert a couple of years ago! I would think it would be a lot more challenging being a senior coach at any club than an assistant.
The whole disscussion was revolved around clubs that pinch players from clubs from within the same league, and thus making the league no more stronger than it already is. You can't say Tooleytang have done that? All they have done is bring struggling clubs closer to it's knees and in the process, making the league weaker.

Lets be honest Earl this discussion is about u sooking and whinging. Your saying that a player who has given his all to his home club for a number of years, and wants to get out of his comfort zone will be ridiculed for leaving to be assistant coach of another club in the league, therefore challenging himself with another group of players.
Another point, when you hear a player of his quality is on the move, u would rather him playing for u than against u, so of course your going to have a chat with him. We were not the only footy club talking to him within the league. He's not the first bloke to play for another club in the CMFL and won't be the last.
I think Lance is now finding out who his real mates are out at Lalbert.
your the joke gloved one go some where else. Good healthy discussion some right some wrong which is the way of peoples opinions.

A ruckman was paid over a $1000 a game just to play for Tatura in 1996. That would be 10 years ago. That sort of money wasn't as common then but certainly still happened.
K69,
Did this quote make any sense??
Everyone has conceded that money is a part of the game, most wish the players leaving all the best despite them being dissapointed, and some blame your club and think they are out of line for approaching rival clubs players but not all..
But the contentious point remains that you still think you are doing us all a favour?? Just admit that the only one's who benefit from this is T/M while the others clubs involved will struggle more so, and we can all move on..
Hasn't footy always been survival of the fittest? All clubs at some point have paid a lot of money out. If a player is looking around, isn't it a duty of other clubs to suss them out? If their club is so great wouldn't they stay? get off you rears, raise some money, make your club a great place to be around and see how you go. For all you whingers- What are you doing to make your club successful? Are you just a complainer or are you doing something about it? I'm not taking the high ground either, I do fukc all but watch good footy all year.

Kelvin my crooked apendaged friend
To answer your question i've played at 4. 4 years at Ballarat for the massive amount of $30 a win, payed monthly, every dollar counts at uni.
Played up north for 5 years, for Zero. Payed our membership and entry fee to all games. Played at home for base, which was hammered by the tax man at the end of the year.
I have played for coin and am but it doesn't decide where i play, there are other factors as well. I don't have a problem with guys changing, to each his own, but it's funny how money can all of a sudden make relationships strained, and cause the colourful banter we have on this thread at the moment.
I don't think there is a right or a wrong answer or way to go about it but we all have our opinions and thats what makes this so interesting to find out what people think.
Keep expressing yourselves gentlemen.
Anyway, with all this talk about cash, what about the blokes who will be getting most of it - coaches??
1. Where is Filo headed - Boga, Boort or Balranald?
2. Who is going to steady the ship at Lalbert? Or Nyah for that matter?
3. Parsons a chance at the Doggies?
Any thoughts gents??

Russ, country footy is a lot more than that, to the town it is the life's blood and a place for the kids to grow and mature where they hopefully will become better players and people and a better group over 2-5 years. Country football clubs and those who run them need to realise it's not all about winning a flag, buying a flag to the detriment of the town, the locals and all else except their egos. For one night of the year the town will come together and the backslappers will get on board all the non-locals that got plenty of kanga out of it to win a flag for the town and put very little back in. Then it's back to reality and working out how to get the next 60-70-80 grand to pay for those players the following year. Towns that do that have very little future in country footy in relation to long term success and viability over a sustained period for the money will dry up eventually and the players will leave, leaving the heirarchy to find those locals again to put the jumper on ..... and funnily enough they won't be there coz the club s h i t on them to win the flag. Been there and done that and been on all sides of the fence as player, coach, recruiter and committee, it is a shame for country footy that we are where we are. Country footy is now all about egos and instant gratification, like a bit of nightclub love !!
