Re: Farrer League
big dollars ???no junior promotion ??? what struggling clubs in RFL ???? what over rated players going home???? so I take it the Demons are all club juniours playing first grade, no paid recruits ???? I also take it that you think that Saints success this year is form Junior promotion not the change of leagues

Griffith, Leton-Whitton & Tigers. The west australians who left griffith mid-season and were widely publicised at the start of the year as great signinings but upon leaving were labelled by Noonan as "only reserve grade players anyway". No not all gullie first graders are ex-juniors, that is a naive statement at best and yes there are paid recruits who give very good value for money and are also very good clubmen, and the saints success is a combination as the change of leagues has enabled them to promote their juniors into a competitive side and build their confidence rather than have the prospect of being thrashed evry week

Re: Farrer League
hey gullie man, i think its good you guys want to go up to rfl. i havent seen a game of either for a long time but how would you guys expect to go in rfl, would you need to recruit many more players and do you have to have under 18s as well

I disagree. I think North Wagga being so competetive in the Farrer League proves how big the gap is still in the two leagues (Nothing against them). Anyone that thinks the Farrer is almost as good as the RFL is dreaming.

Re: Farrer League
isnt their a carnival there on long weekend rfl v farrar and others, maybe that will make things clearer, although hard to tell the depth of leagues by interleague matches, but would be a good hitout i guess. not sure why afl canberra are not in it this year

Re: Farrer League
All 3 clubs would be 75 - 90% local products, in leetons case 90% are club juniors, so how does your comment about lack of Junior promotion in RFL clubs stack up against that. High paid Players ???, I doubt any of these clubs (non coaches) contract player payments would be as much as what Gullie is paying at the moment. Infact Leetons is probably $0 this year. Griffiths player departures were not high paid high profile recruits, obviously you are either young or naive to thing that the Gullie or any club is immuned to this

Re: Farrer League
No-one is comparing the two leagues. Of course the rfl is a lot stonger. The question was would the gullie be competitive in the rfl and the answer is yes. gullie has not lost a game for two years, last year they won every game by over 10 goals other than the gf which they still won by 6 and this year nth is the only team to get within 10 goals when they lost by 40 points in driving rain on a sodden McPherson oval. If the farrer was as good as the rfl then the gullie would be quite happy where they are, they just want a competitive game every week. Gullie would be a top three side in the rfl.

Re: Farrer League
lets face it this whole discussion came about because the afl has done a backflip on the promotion/relegation thing. The clubs voted for this swallow your pride and take it like a man and if your club is relegated work hard on winning the farrer the following year. The rfl has to have at least the best 8 clubs in the riverina and at the moment that includes gullie.
how much is gullie paying? and if the rfl is going to protect its reputation as a league of reasonable standard, then they should be encouraging clubs of a professional standard to join and let the amateur clubs play in the farrer.

Re: Farrer League
Now were have I heard this rhetoric before, that's right Wagga Tigers spun the same yarn before they went into ACTAFL, "we are a superior club" bullshit. Were are they now. You talk as though your current success is never ending and you haven't even won this years flag. Will you take it like a man when a "amateur" FFL outfit rain on your parade, or will you cry foul and demand that your club still go up into the RFL. Colingullie will bring nothing to the RFL table that isn't already there.how much is gullie paying? and if the rfl is going to protect its reputation as a league of reasonable standard, then they should be encouraging clubs of a professional standard to join and let the amateur clubs play in the farrer.

Re: Farrer League
Collingullie will bring a competitive club to the rfl and by leaving the farrer make it more even. if in years to come if the club struggles they go back to the farrer, thats why the clubs voted for promotion and relegation so both leagues will be even comps with teams playing in a standard suited to them at that time and isnt saddled with an uncompetitive club If a club wants to improve the standard they are currently playing at than they are rewarded for that. why would the current players at the gullie want to stay if there wasn't the possibility of playing in the rfl for the gullie, it isnt much of a challenge for them at the moment. this may sound cocky but lets face it when they havent been seriously tested for two years its hard not to be. I still rate tryc and marrar as the next best sides, gullie did both by over 100 pts!!! If gullie doesnt win this years gf than so be it we go home with our tails between our legs and regroup for the next year. We wont cry foul we know what the conditions for promotion are ( or thought we did) and if things dont work out. cop it on the chin, something some of the rfl clubs could subscribe to.

Re: Farrer League
Don't talk about how unfair it is now that AFL house are changing the goal posts when your club started to dismantle the goal posts in the first place. Lets face it, this whole reform is all about making the 2 leagues viable not rewarding or punishing clubs on the fragility of year by year results. And it looks to me as though the 2 leagues are now "VIABLE" 8 teams in each, every club has Under 17s, reserves and the ones. If there was any club that could can claim to be cheated it would be EWK not Gullie..

Re: Farrer League
I agree.EWK were r*ped by a gutless AFL admin.If the farrer league needed fixing 2 sides from a ridiculous 14 team hume league was the answer.Gullie have had a go in the big league before and realised the extra training and commitment wasnt there thing.Fair enough.Thats why blokes play in the farrer league.Nothing wrong with that.If blokes wanted to train harder and play better footy,they can join any of the RFL clubs they want.Simple.

Re: Farrer League
Sorry mate you dont know your head from your.... feet. The gullie were struggling in farrer when the afl put them in the rfl without any real consultation, the club found out over the radio on the way to pre-season training, had recruited a coach who thought he was coaching a farrer side (keith hanna) and were behind the eight ball from the start. The players were happy to do the hard yards but why would you put a side near the bottom of farrer into the rfl? Nth Wagga is another example. A lot has changed the club is vibrant a lot of the rubbish that was going on in the eighties and nineties has been cleaned out. Why not reward a club that has worked hard to improve itself? I can empathise with the clubs facing relegation in the rfl as it seems to be a pretty good comp at the moment but gullie doesn't deserve to be in farrer and your solution of telling the players to play for an rfl club doesn't encourage the gullie to develope their good young players. Whats the point if turvey or tigers can cash in on our hard work?
Re: Farrer League
Good point about developing juniors. North Wagga have come a long way, doubtless the results will come and they will be up for promotion soon enough. Lockart used to be in the Farrer league, I think Culcairn also, once upon a time, not that I can ever see them coming back voluntarily.

Re: Farrer League
Yeah I think that is right, but a final four would suffice. why reward a team that finishes in the bottom half of comp although the difference between 4th and 5th isnt much this year. should be a good finals as gap is closing between gullie and the rest, Temora gave a real good account of themselves yesterday from allreports. bodes well for future of comp.

Re: Farrer League
all quiet on the farrer front of late, big game this week for gullie & marrar. big write up in paper about importance for marrar but gullie need a good win to restore a bit of confidance and let tryc know the gullie is still on track. at the moment tryc would have to be best team in comp. couple of other big games with hawks needing to beat nth and jets need to beat an improving temora, temora might cause an upset there.

Anyone prepared to tip a winner of league B&F? Chris Bell from jets always played well against gullie this year. Cant see anyone from gullie winning it.
