Will this incident hasten Bentleigh's departure from the VAFA? The jungle drums are beating louder and louder....

I know it's the Seniors that counts, but with Bentleigh's "no man's land" situation, I'd expect them to use the last three weeks of the year to qualify as many players as possible for the Reserves and at least get something out of the year. Not exactly in "the spirit", but the rules are in place to allow them to i guess.
I beg to differ. I think they are that bad a team. Not sure about the club as a whole, but to be relegated from D1 last year ( and should have been the year before, but were saved by Peninsula's indiscretion), and now facing relegation from D2 a year later, it's safe to say they aren't much chop.
I am going to go with no on this one given that it was a Bentleigh player that suffered the injury.
Tend to agree, but SFL has a void left by Doveton Eagles............ Another upside is that there is no issue paying players
I think we both know that Bentleigh don't hold a candle to Doveton Eagles with their onfield/offfield issues
Incidentally we were approached by the SFL last year to re-enter into their Division 2 for this season, but the club declined due to the issue of having to pay players.
The main reason why we entered the VAFA in the 2000 in the first place.
There you go...a little BFC trivia for you

On that basis, I would like to formally wish the Bentleigh AFC all the best of luck with their all out assault on the Ressies flag for this year then
BTW -how many Reserves premierships in a row do they need to winin order to get promotion to D1?

Notice their is no official note of the incident on the vafa website or any mention for a tribunal appearance....... Does that mean unless Bentleigh have asked for an ivestigation the issue is put to bed?

I know that it was a Bentleigh player that was injured. The point I was trying to make is that if rumours are correct, the BFC heirachy are disillusioned with the VAFA and their poor administration and are still in talks with the SFL.
I don't think there would be an issue with playing players. Are you saying that your current playing group would leave or ask for money if they were in the SFL next year? Why are they playing at the club in the first place then? It would be a bigger issue if you were going the other way (SFL to VAFA) and can no longer pay your players.
Not all SFL clubs pay their players (some pay just 2-3 as well). I think that Bentleigh with their junior program would be competitive in Div 2 SFL and within a few years of added income (bar sales etc) would be in a good position to make the step into Div 1 (where you probably have to spend a bit to stay up...depending on the success of your junior development).

This will count as a prior - interesting if he gets 12 - places him at the 16 week mark. Ummm Brodie H!

I have heard similar rumour with Bentleigh into SFL Div 2 & Parkdale into SFL Div 1
Everyone knows the VAFA doesn't give a continental about the district clubs...it is all about the old boys!!!That is why you can't pay a player but you can buy him a small business or give him a $80k year job to play A grade straight out of AFL ranks
We've been rumored to go back to the SFL for the last 2 seasons now, with the official offer put to us last year. However as stated we'd have to enter strictly as an ameteur club, as paying players is what got the club into trouble financially in the late 90s.
We're only starting to get back on track some 10-12 years later, so my guess is you'll have to put up with us for a few years yet

Good effort so far, I reckon your spot on with bentleigh. Whoever old westbourne has appointed to write for their club must be kidding themselves. Who the **** are half of those people. Looking forward to seeing a few more. I might even end up doing one for our boys
Not sure if anyone has noticed, but today's/this week's VAFA poll on the website poses the question: "Three rounds to go and Eltham, St Mary's Salesian and Prahran are fighting to stay up. One of the three clubs will survive? Which one?.
Massive support for SMS.
Who said the VAFA didn't care what's happening in D2?

SMS no doubt with win this week...massive support a surprise.
Might have an interest in D2 following unfounded report of extra vacancy in division next year.
WTF?
Don't tell me a D1 relegation team is about to fold?
I know South Districts have had a tuff year, but they're already advertising for a new coach.
Or is there a 'Peninsula' type scandal about to explode
...or is it someone already in D2 who won't be continuing?

The drums beat louder fellas. Bentleigh to the SFL
Where are you hearing this? you seem to have a quality source?
Hey Sniper I wasn't proclaiming to have a source, I was just following up on Dr Truth's previous post and asking if anyone knew WTF.
I had heard that South Districts were "under the pump" from some of their members, but the rest of the post was simply asking if anyone had heard rumors.
I see that Superfreak has dropped by from the SFL board and he alleges it's your boys.
That coudn't be true could it?
Not after all the work you've put in to meet the VAFA requirements of recent times
