Add Tim O'Brien (Hawks/Bulldogs) to that list

Understand Echuca have re signed 90% of there current list. Reid’s re signed and Willoughby taking time to decide if he moves interstate. Also understand that they have an absolute A grader straight out of the AFL ready to commit if the job offer he has been presented with in Melbourne works out. If the comp thinks they are going to be “weaker” then they are very wrong. What a well run club they are.

Let's wait and see how it all pans out. Empires fall ... so do footy Clubs.

Nothing like a bit of gloating after a Premiership.

Hore I assume, will he drop points as he played for them 2 years ago?

Not sure how the rest of the league catch them. Growing population footy town, they attract quality footballers to the town. Look at their coaching setup by far rhe best in the league.

No other club in the league has those resources

My understanding is the Betson’s both agreed to come back for a set period. I believe both work and live in the Geelong area. Kee Betson actually stayed a year longer than he’d agreed to initially.
My understanding was McCarthy would’ve headed to Ky last year but wanted to try his luck in the GV again at a different club. Was always going back there. They’d be disappointed to lose him after going to the trouble recruiting him.
Rutherford has returned to Melbourne for work and will resume with his former club. Was always a 2 year agreement.
The cats will need to recruit well to stay in the 6 next season as they’re probably 3 of their top 5 players.

Hi Blokes,

First time long time. There's has been a lot of carry on from Mooroopna and Lamont over the past few years, but fact remains that players keep leaving and they have underachieved. In the last 2 years or so Jack Hunt, Trengrove, Nield, Betson x2, Basile x 2 went to Colbo, The Devines left the club, Kilpatrick future key fwd or back now McCarthy & Rutherford. Players going over to Europe for long periods during the year this year. Lots of injuries, terrible twos side, U18s just going.

I'm sure I'm missing a few. For someone who is constantly lauded as a supercoach he sure does find it hard to keep a competitive list and squad together.

Is it more the location? And if you look at any side in the league outside echuca, rochy and kyabram, the list turnover is big. I'd think that speaks more about people not wanting to move to the shepp area, instead they either live in Melbourne and travel which wears thin after 2 years or they move away from the area
 
Only two teams have won 4 in a row. Echuca will be keen to join Rushworth and Shepparton as the only clubs to do it.

You will find some of this stuff consistent with most players and clubs. OS trips in the season have become more common and almost accepted. Unfortunately, most players play at one club until a better offer comes along. IMO some district clubs are not following the Salary Cap placing more pressure on 'Major Leagues'. The Bendigo League IMO is being swallowed up by district clubs paying huge amounts to players. Personally, I think Lamont has done a great job getting these players through the door in the first place. Until there is a consistent Salary Cap structure players are going to club-hop for better offers. John is an excellent coach.
 
GV slowly turning in to the Ovens and Murray’s broke long lost cousin, would love to see the Grand-finalist play off in an exhibition match before the league game. Unfamiliar with Echuca names, but from what I hear I think the Rovers would send them packing.
