EDFL moves

[Ubiquitous]

All you need to do is get a quote from a business called Hilles Home Extensions. They are around 15% more than any other local business and who is the director of Hilles home extensions?

The biggest ego in town is matched by the cheque book. It's practically a foregone conclusion who'll end up with the silverware - but throughout the season while players are injured, another team or two might get up on the day as Douttas did last Saturday. Expect this situation to go on for years - at least as long as the building industry stays healthy and the the ego is fed.

Not all Strathy people are comfortable about it - they'll support the club to the death but they know what's really going on - there's a difference between achieving success and actually being successful if you know what I mean. Time will tell what the real price has been. Still, their juniors are a credit to them and parents are, for the most part, at the better end of the scale.

Tony did you see my reply to your quote about Strathmore? rumour has it at recruiting meetings there was a sign on fee between 1000 and 5000 dollars? Ring and get a quote from Hilles Home extensions and find out where Strathmores money is comming from......He wouldnt be far off the mark!!!!!!!!!!!

just get your facts right first mate. you've got no idea

 

[Hard Ball Get]

To think West Coburg are only spending 45k a year and they still have a fair list for B Grade football!

ONLY??????
45K a year is still a load of cash!

 

[EDFL MAN]

ONLY??????
45K a year is still a load of cash!

Compared to Marby 100k plus.........l dont think so champ!

 

[juliand]

just get your facts right first mate. you've got no idea

So what you are saying is that i dont know my facts? Some questions
who is coaching Strathmore? Who runs hilles home extentions? Where is all the money to get all these recruits or do you think they are playing for the love of the game? You put two and two together and what do you get?

You have to be the biggest fence sitter on here Tony...........

 

[Hard Ball Get]

100K is a truck load.
45k is a truck load to it is just less.

Im not going to get into the whole money argument again but clearly there is far, far to much money in local, cough 'grass roots' cough cough, football.

Let's be honest here, the blokes at Strathmore are playing for the love of it! Not money......What a load of b u ll s hit!
I hope Hillie pays them all by Cheque and it bounces........

Then the ATO chase him............

Agree.

But please remember $100,000 - $45,000 = $55,000

That's a load more in my opinion.

put it this way champ, you've put two and two together and got 5! i know for a fact where the money comes from, so lets move on

 

[EDFL MAN]

2 + 2 = 4 not 5 last time l checked Tony

 

[WRFLfan]

No such thing at League level fan man.

The league endorses the AFL fair play initiative and some clubs have tried to put something formal in place with limited success.

Is there soemthing the WRFL uses ??

How could I get a copy of it ??

I would certainly put in place if worthwhile at our club

I thought there was something i might be wrong but maybe it was in Queensland that i read it, when Capper played up at his kids game, im not 100% on that. But yeah i agree something has to be done to hold family/freinds responsable

 

[TonyCampbell06]

EDFL MAN, the whole point is that he's got it all wrong

Whats with the fixation with how much players get? Regardless of the amount there weren't too many Douttas originals running around on Saturday. Maybe thats why the 2's are going well.

In relation to C.Hare originally an Oak Park boy. Came to play in a flag side and has moved on for the dollars.

 

[jets06]

confirmed numbers from strathmore are $215,000K for this year.
every game costs them just over or under 11K depending on who plays IE: barnard X2 ect.

i heard rumors from douttas powerheads at the bar sat night joking around saturday night telling strathmore people they wish they didnt beat them today because beating them in the granny would have made it so much sweeter.

game on!!

Before anyone jumps down my throat, this is only a guess but I reckon the following wouldn't be far of the mark as a budget for the mores per game :

Quinn - sign-on $ 5000 + $1000 per game
Holman - sign-on $ 2000 (season 2005) + 750 per game
J Barnard - sign-on $ 2500 + 800 per game
Thomas - t/fer fee $ 2000 + 600 per game
Harvey - sign-on $ 2000 + 800 per game
P. Barnard - $ 500 per game when available
Little - $ 500 per game
Williams - $ 500 per game
Ogsten - captain - $ 250
3 x blokes from the WRFL $ 250 Each plus the next 6 x players at $ 125 and the remaining 3 x players on base payment of say $ 75 per game adds up to a grand total per game of around $ 7425 x 18 games = $133,650 plus the estimated sign on fees of about $ 15000 comes to a rounded up figure of $ 150,000. You could also factor in whether they will pay their players for finals appearances. Then you would be pushing close to $ 165,000. THATS ALOT OF FUNDRAISING just for player payments.

 

[bomber5]

In my experiences, players don't get paid for finals
Richard Little is the Captain too, but Ogston will be happy if people still think he's the captain

 

[Hard Ball Get]

In my experiences, players don't get paid for finals

Local footy players never used to get paid either.

Ogston-not captain

 

[Eagle One]

Agree.

hat's a load more in my opinion.

Marby. minus West Coburg equals Pascoe Vale

The biggest ego in town is matched by the cheque book. It's practically a foregone conclusion who'll end up with the silverware - but throughout the season while players are injured, another team or two might get up on the day as Douttas did last Saturday. Expect this situation to go on for years - at least as long as the building industry stays healthy and the the ego is fed.

Not all Strathy people are comfortable about it - they'll support the club to the death but they know what's really going on - there's a difference between achieving success and actually being successful if you know what I mean. Time will tell what the real price has been. Still, their juniors are a credit to them and parents are, for the most part, at the better end of the scale.

Just so you know mate Douttas had 4 regulars out ruckman Bishop, Laverde, R Moore and Monteleone so they were well below strength on the weekend and from what i saw Strath only had Barnard and Lindsay out so it wasnt an excuse i dont think it was just the better side won on the day, and i keenly wait to see the game between Greenvale and Strathmore cause i think it will be one of the best of the season..

When was that Hard Ball Get? 1990?

TRUST ME MATE THE BOYS FROM PORT COLTS AND HOPPERS WOULD B ON MORE THAN $250 A GAME TO COME OVER THEY WOULD OF BEEN ON WAY MORE THAN THAT AT THEIR ORIGINAL CLUBS AND THEY WOULDN'T OF COME OVER 4 LESS AND I WOULD SAY TATEY WOULD B UP THERE TOO WITH THE DOLLAR SIGNS, EITHER WAY THATS A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY 4 LOCAL FOOTY AS IS THE MONEY SPENT ON SOME B GRADE CLUBS ASWELL BUT IF YA HAVE THE MONEY WHY NOT SPEND IT AS LONG AS IT DON'T SEND YA CLUB BROKE, THE WAR WILL RAGE ON ABOUT PLAYER PAYMENTS WITH NO OUTCOME

Right D-Mac. Clubs will recruit every year and pay players every year. As I've said before noone goes on about players getting paid, its just the supposed figure they get that gets people annoyed. Once you pay em at all its a pointless arguement. The WRFL boys don't get much for playing in the 2's.

 

[EDFL MAN]

Marby. minus West Coburg equals Pascoe Vale

Tull >>>>>>>>>>>> Pascoe vale

Pascoe Vale 3.2 7.4 11.8 11.10.76
Tullamarine 2.1 7.1 12.1 14.5.89

Clearly you dont read the results eagle one, then again l dont blame you for going and watching another team.

Just pointing out that things change mate.
Sometimes for the good sometimes for the bad

Agree with you d-mac, l think Williams would be be on more than $500.00 a game + a sign on fee, he played AFL football...unlike some of these others.
