some players crack the sooks so they leave, convince their mates to leave also
numbers are low, so players who are left start looking else where, it all snowballs.[/quote]

The new OPEN clearance rule has caused this. And it will contiye causing it too.
Divvy 2 clubs are now more than ever in danger of losing their top players. And there is nothing they can do about it.
Imagine if Reservoir were able to reject their clearances by using the 'Required PLayer' reason. They would still be around 2007.

Clubs now have no power, but are expected to provide everything for the players and league.
PLayers have all the power - which is good in certain respects - but will now hold the CLUB to ransom.
Or better yet, leave and take their mates with them.

Clubs need a financial hi-roller to back the club. Otherwise, they will not be able to keep the good players.

The large gap b/n divvy 2 and divvy 1 was huge before. In 2-3 years it will be the size of the Grand Canyon.
If it isn't already it will be full of rejects and has-been.
Isnt that wat the Super Rules is for?

I feel sorry for Reservoir, Watsy knows what its like, fortunately we never had to fold though. We had plenty of players who stuck around to keep it alive although not the best at least they kept it going. Of course the majority of the better players did leave. Its funny now we have people wanting to come back and we had about 8 reservoir players training with us last night who are keen to play. As I said I feel sorry for Resa, but everyone poached our players when we were down so I think its only fair we accept these boys especially if they are any good.

Any truth in the fairly strong rumours that watsy are paying twos players $50-$60 a game thats why you have been able to get (poach) alot of players from other clubs??
I remeber going to a fundraiser day and chipping in money to keep watsy afloat now they are hurting other clubs. Short Memories!

I hear what you are saying Force, and i think we all agree that Wats deserve what they have worked all so hard for - A chance at having a fairdinkum crack.

It is sad to see the demise of the once mighty two blues, but of course that is Football.

If you do pick up a player or 2 from Ressa, that is good for your club, but the conumdrum is, could this affect those who have stuck by your club through thick & thin and/or some of the younger players you have recently picked up, by way of displacing them from the Team??

You could (and I hope you don"t) find yourselves in a situation not disimilar to Ressa, where a number of your players become disgruntled and in turn want to move on!!!

Of course If they are any Good, they are most welcome at Eltham. ;)

(The vicious circle continues)

cheers

Completely untrue. Would hate to hear how far-fetched your "weak" rumours are.

Idea was brought up by 1 commitee member but was quickly thrown out. Reasons being both financial & not wanting to reward mediocrity. That figure you mention is close to the base payment for a SENIOR (First grade) player, reserves receive nothing.

How do you mean "hurting other clubs"?
 
Not sure if you all seen Mobbenfuhrer's post on page 348 of this thread, but he is looking for takers in a Regional Footy Challenge Fantasy comp.

It would be good if we could get a full board of DV posters to sign up and Kickass (sorry that be my name) of the other leagues!

So far the following have signed up.

Diamond Valley FL (5)
1. Kickass (Div 1 / Eltham)
2. mattyr (Div 1 Bundoora)
3. Iceman27 (Div 2 / Wallan)
4. Force (Div 2 / Watsonia)
5. Giveyathemail (Lalor

If you are interested please send a pm to Mobbenfuhrer for inclusion or following the links form his post.

The beauty of this is, that even someone from Reservoir can a field a team in a Fantasy comp.!!

Funny, Strathmore win the 2006 premiership and are actually having a winge about people talking about how much money they spent.They may or May not spend the same money this year who gives a f##k enjoy it.
All your prized recruits surely don't just come for the cash surely they must enjoy the surroundings of the club as well?? (I hope).
If Greenvale, Douttas and Abers hapenn to recruit well dont go looking for people to bag them about the money enjoy the healthy rivalry that is making the EDFL such a strong comp.Don't look behind just keep moving forward or you may get caught up with.
Anyway it's not so much Srathmores money people worry about it"s the arrogance of SOME fo the people on the band wagon.:thumbsu:





Hmmm, seems strange that Jim Beam would have a go about Wats (possibly) spending money and yet seemingly condones it in a EDFL post.

As you said mate, " Don't look behind just keep moving forward or you might get caught up with"

Well, we all sign up to represent the DVFL in a Regional Fantasy Football League.

We then get an invite to a special party and are asked to try various mysterious substances handed out by a selection of elite AFL Footballers.

The last man standing wins.

Good Luck Matty. ;)
