Goulburn Valley FL 2024

It really is time to return to self governed leagues, no cap, nor points because the longer this continues the more damage is being done to community football.

I'm not sure a dog eat dog world would be great either mate. I'd like to see a far even playing field and promote young guys to play major league footy and over 30 to play minor league footy, with under 23 to be 1 point to transfer from minor to major and over 32 1 point from major to minor.

Otherwise clubs like deer Park won't care, and buy 22 players, some might suggest they don't now, but they didn't play finals this year and they can't just get whoever they want.

I reckon you'd have queues of guys playing for the premiership teams if afl vic did nothing, and we'd see 15 + guys move around with the one coach and destroy a club each time they move. I'm not sure that's coaching.

But there has to be greater incentive for guys to play footy in.the country, keep kids involved after they turn 18 or younger, stop the better teams getting better, where we have tiered comps and allow bottom teams to go from finishing last to being a chance of winning the flag next year, otherwise if there's no hope, players will keep leaving bottom clubs
There also needs to be greater incentives for the best players to play major league footy

• Deer Park will do just that ..buy a flag this year. It is their second year in the EDFL and they will do whatever it takes.
• 2 VFL players join an O&M club for 40K each
• One player in the NCFL was on 70K just to play, another offered 65K to join a club in that comp this year
• Coach in the Bellarine League on a reported 65-70K
• A club in another strong league are giving away blocks of land
• Better teams are staying up top because all other teams have the same Cap and in some instances points
• 2 GV players offered 30K each to play in the NCFL
• Hoppers Crossing flew in Jed Anderson from Darwin and another from the Gold Coast, resulting in winning the flag by a point.

I'm all for a Cap if it is enforced but it's not. Some clubs are cheating and apart from Deer Park and Wang Magpies, there has been little enforcement of the rules. We have players again following the money. It's time for this sort of stuff to be investigated or get rid of the cap. Football quality in the country is diminishing each year. The Bendigo League is on its knees. Its time for a review!

I know mate, its not an even playing field and nigh impossible for a coach without financial or employment backing to be on an even keel

Deer Park got off "because there wasn't enough proof" LMAO
