Haha can’t see that happening anytime soon but thanks for the offer. In all honesty it’s great if things are turning and you acknowledge things need to change. Always a few bad eggs can spoil the hard work people put into clubs. I know you have seen it first hand but stuck by the club, and I do hope you (and your family) get some reward and satisfaction for your efforts and loyalty.

catch up in 2021 as think 2020 is done and dusted unfortunately.
Season will be cancelled. Government saying it’s a 6 month issue. That means August/September will be hopefully returning to some kind of normality. Which means no local football for season 2020Well, Pat thinks we'll start again, but I just don't see it, but I do hope so.

Word is calls made to a couple of these players who rec'd sign on's to pay them back on the premise it's only fair as they are not playing, could get real ugly
B-b-b-but signons are illegal
Sign ons are legal but must be declared in the overall payment to players. Why would the players give it back , they got money to sign a contract , thats exactly what they did , regardless of any football being played. The money isnt for football , its for signing on and thats exactly what they did.
Yeah, they're legal if you class them as an advanced payment of partial match payments.
If you read AFL Vic rules regarding salary cap. Sign ons are illegal. So not sure where you are reading they are legal.
Depends where you read. There is old articles and the draft copy from 2016 saying they're illegal, but other afl Vic guidelines merely recommending against giving them.
Hahaha let the comedy begin the comedy provided by the clowns who think they can just splash the cash hahaha
Don't know the bloke but I 100% agree with Labbad from Tullamarine - 2021 scrap player payments for all Vic Metro competitions.
That's a start . If players don't think it's worth playing then simple answer DON'T PLAY , it's just a sport after all.
It just isnt that simple. Many players this year would have signed 2 year contracts . Clubs will continue to cheat . Wouldnt it be nice to get a couple of those AFL people out of the AFL palace and get them to get their hands dirty at club level before handing down rule changes that they think will work . The EDFL board are removed from club level let alone the next step higher.
And there goes the standard of footy. Simply put the better players won’t be taking the field. They are better off to work there normal jobs or do something else. Some will get clearances in to clubs that come out of this better as they will get paid more. Yes it’s not easy but let’s face it if the top players were getting 50-75% less to train and play each week they won’t be playing. Pretty simple.
Turbo - It's local football. Standard drops , so what???? The Standards not that great anyway , and that's ok because it's Local Footy. Players & coaches have r*ped Clubs for too long , $250 is plenty for the best player to be paid , not $1000 plus sign on's ect,, that is ridiculous(unless you are the one getting paid)..
