Absolute disaster for EK. Paying the price for letting someone like Pat through the door and letting him run the club like a dictator. Then doubled down by appointing Sherman, will be a long, tough road back.

How does a licensed venue pay players with TAB vouchers?? Think there going to put there gaming room/license at risk.
the club buys the vouchers from the licensed venue, then distribute to players. Just an alternative to the brown paper bags, or even the other bags the EK players were getting.
The club could also feed a pokie machine cash then the player immediately collects ticket and cashes out. Either way TAB or pokies it’s a form of money laundering!

not hard to feed cash into a machine hit collect or voucher and go to the counter and walk out with cash.
not just a deer park thing.

I believe the new incoming reduction laws in pokie “top-up” limits are to prevent this form of money laundering..

plenty of venues around with gaming machines and automated tab machines.
no different to vafa players mowing the lawn of a “supporter” or doing a few odd jobs for cash
been happening for years and will continue to
as a former accounts type worker the AFL will never intervene as the moment the push becomes harder for scrutiny like every player into bank accounts less tax as second income more clubs will close doors.
Is there anyone out there who can verify that the EDFL Board is in shambles - 2 people elected under serious cloud due to botched election process and as a result now they have an old dinosaur as chair who doesn't see a place for women's football - acting as G'vale President's puppet? and people think the WRFL is a basket case...

What happens when a club is desperate for success.
I wonder how many people were spoken to about the senior coaching position once it was known Pat was out?

if the legend that is was pat was the only hand up option to be president coach and major benefactor then yes long tough road back.
if there were other low risk less money but harmonious options not considered then it’s another case of reap what you sew or what was allowed to happen. club stalwarts life members influential parts of playing group all at some stage supported the era.
where has bashen gone he was the ek flag flyer.

They asked clubs to sumbit their votes by a particular date and time and can only assume the candidates with the highest number of votes at that time were elected to the board. Were you at the vote count?
Yeh something tells me Bashen no longer involved at EK and couldn't give a stuff that the place is in shambles. I miss the days Bashen would tell us we were all jealous of EK

Come on there is a camera on every machine. Come up with something that people can believe. Dig deeper & look at clubs building new kitchens & bathrooms for players.

Do you have anything to back these statements up or are you just going to go to both the Edfl and WFNL pages and slander those that were voted in. Also pretty sure new chair is from Pascoe vale, not sure about the Greenvale influence
Nope - just talk around the place - thats why I was asking if anyone can verify...
slander is pretty harsh term - just tired of EDFL people 'slandering' WRFL and when I heard this story I wanted to see if anyone would verify it.
