Announced at Newport.Omar Saad will be playing for MV done deal
Never a done deal till a clearance lodged.Announced at Newport.
In both cases, the players concerned approached the club and then changed their minds.MV incredibly unlucky, bridesmaids for Saad and Covelli and thought they had both.
Hopefully Padmore returns.
Shopping for the highest bidder.In both cases, the players concerned approached the club and then changed their minds.
You don’t want them at your club thenShopping for the highest bidder.
How can it be as one stayed at his current club so not sure the other poster is being totally truthful.Shopping for the highest bidder.
Don’t want them?? Cmon!!You don’t want them at your club then
I mean if you are trying to recruit a player and he’s shipping himself around, you probably don’t want them at your club.Don’t want them?? Cmon!!
One player has stayed on again at his current club and pretty sure it’s year 3 or 4 so that’s decent loyalty if you ask me.
Because one club raised its offer and came to the party?How can it be as one stayed at his current club so not sure the other poster is being totally truthful.
And took a trim is word on the grape vine.Don’t want them?? Cmon!!

why? because they are out there seeing what they are worth, why stay somewhere if your being paid unders, got to get out there and see what your worth. You boss must love you, stay loyal and be the lowest paid person at your job!I mean if you are trying to recruit a player and he’s shipping himself around, you probably don’t want them at your club.
Yeah fair point. I need to get with the times, it’s all about the money these days.why? because they are out there seeing what they are worth, why stay somewhere if your being paid unders, got to get out there and see what your worth.

He was announced as signed at Roxy. If he has left good too see Roxy let him go, been a great servant.Yeah fair point. I need to get with the times, it’s all about the money these days.
Off subject Short from Roxy 100% gone and off to Wallan. How much does this heart Roxy ?
Players do not go to Keilor and Aberfeldie for money i can guaranteed you xDI still believe in the old school dream of playing with mates and the off field experience probably being more important than who will pay the most money for a players services. After game banter in the rooms makes a club , Its not all about money because money will ruin the competition eventually. OK if we want keilor,strathmore and Aberfeldie and now Deer Park offering the most money and basically ruining the chance or the dream of other clubs to aspire to be successful in EDFL then that is what will happen. Money does not mean they are the best clubs nor do results if the cap rules are not followed. I love watching footy in div 1 and sometimes div 2 to see the passion of most clubs even when getting belted. The talk of $20,000 sign on fees and the like are going to kill off the competition. Its really a poison chalice to win div 1 and be promoted.
you must be the treasurer. Are they paying the cap or less?Players do not go to Keilor and Aberfeldie for money i can guaranteed you xD
Good post and a lot do play with mates like you said. I do think the points system has stopped a group of mates heading to a club outside the 5 and get them success. Has worked in some ways I guess but it’s a headache.I still believe in the old school dream of playing with mates and the off field experience probably being more important than who will pay the most money for a players services.

Absolute complete rubbish. Let’s ALL remember that a club like Abers started this spending when they went after players paying 2 and 3 times overs to win a premiership and ultimately got caught for breaches. This was in part why the salary cap was introduced.Players do not go to Keilor and Aberfeldie for money i can guaranteed you xD
Agree completely, maybe the old school values don’t exist anymore.I still believe in the old school dream of playing with mates and the off field experience probably being more important than who will pay the most money for a players services.

Agree his been the heart & soul of Roxy but personally think they will be better without out and move in a different direction.Yeah fair point. I need to get with the times, it’s all about the money these days.

Interesting choice for St Albans. Are they just intending to stay in div1 for years to come? As players like Carroll won’t play higher than B grade standard. Individuals can play where they want and chase the $$ but for the club it’s not an investment into the future!Carroll from Sunshine to St Albans.
Kicked 100 this season, but monstered the battlers.
By jingoes he’s had a few clubs!
Wouldn’t think he would kick near 100 goals next year. Will be a good target up forward for SA thoughInteresting choice for St Albans. Are they just intending to stay in div1 for years to come?

Marby and Greenvale were the Clubs that started the real arms race in the mid 2000's, the league has never been the same since.Absolute complete rubbish. Let’s ALL remember that a club like Abers started this spending when they went after players paying 2 and 3 times overs to win a premiership and ultimately got caught for breaches. This was in part why the salary cap was introduced.
Unfortunately other clubs had to then try and compete in some ways and it’s ruined the sport to a degree.
Dispute it all you wish but Abers were the ones who threw ridiculous money at players.
I tend to agree Keilor don’t go that far and pay less players good coin. McGuane and regular finals is the major lure for the players. Yes they pay 3-4 very good coin and McGuane surely the highest paid coach in this league for many years. But money well spent…
Tribalism is the perfect word to describe div 1 footy but it is not relevant to premier. Spot on.Marby and Greenvale were the Clubs that started the real arms race in the mid 2000's, the league has never been the same since.
Cant really knock those clubs either as it was what they needed to do to become competitive in the division, but the follow on that it caused has sapped all the tribalism out of the EDFL at the top end for the most part. Sad to think about to be honest but is what it is.
As the other poster said earlier, poison chalice to win this division as its only hidings waiting on the other side.
