Ex craigieburn junior?
played 16's and 18's with greenvale.
So who do you think will be raising the cup come September ?
Agree with what you have stated Strathmore are a club that do not tolerate not making finals and if Grimma can play along with Firritto and Cachia will push hard into finals contention - I think there will be a few more departures from some clubs so interesting times ahead , and yes $$$$ is ruining local footy !No idea.. Based on current recruiting rumours there are at least a handful of clubs in contention to win the flag (again showing the comp is doing just fine) Keilor obviously go in flag favourites but as everyone knows its extremely difficult to go back to back.. Abers despite losing some players wont be far away. Strathmore have recruited strongly and with more stability in coaching would have to think will challenge, Greenvale can never be ruled out, Pacco might finally get it together, Doutta look stronger than last year with some big name recruits and even Marby looked good at times last year and and have improved so could get better..
The only sides i would say can not make the finals are West Coburg, Craigieburn & Avondale.. $ is definitely ruining local footy

Is there an issue if he doesn't?
Who really cares, he most likely has mates at a number of clubs, ultimately he's playing at Marby.
Turbo this is a biased post from a club supporter who have no issue raising coin but have about 60 points when fielding their best side. The Panthershave just announced more new recruits who will be 4-6 point players. The salary cap IMO is unpoliceable if that's a word! Please surely you can see this. So much cash around.... if the ATO have trouble monitoring company fringe benefit tax how on earth are the EDFL going to police a salary cap. Don't give me this shit about private investigators that will cost the EDFL money and they wouldn't shout if a shark bit em. Every club in each division will report spot on or just under the salary cap through contracts submitted. The good old paper bag will be making a massive comeback and it won't have your lunch in it. Now the points is a another conversation. Yes agree leave the points cap at 50 because the EDFL have spruiked 50 points for 1 year and then reduce it once clubs totally adapt to the system. There is simply no way clubs can "brown paper bag" the points system.
Sporting pulse won't let you submit a team that exceeds the points cap. Also hearing that clubs will have to have there sides in SportingPulse by Friday lunch time . EDFL maybe be introducing fines for clubs that play funny buggers by putting in big as teams.
I hope your right whisper if clubs are allowed to go over the points and then get fined it makes an absolute mockery of the entire system. The rich clubs would be happy to pay the fine and get away with say 51-52 points. Lets hope the EDFL has some balls on this one
They won't be able to submit a team if they are over. Points should be 45-47. Because at least 7-8 of your team would get a 1 point deduction if your a good club and can keep the players. So that frees up some points space.
Every club has to submit your selected 22 every week and your team list cannot be submitted if over the points - the system prevents that from happening
