100% agree with what your saying in regards to the players point of view, which is why I think the concept is in danger again. I really enjoy the interleague side of it and will be dissapointed to see it go, of the above players you have Taylor playing for Bendigo today, Darren Bradshaw still 6 weeks away from returning from injury, Barber struggled with injury all year and Fruey retired from interleague at the end of last years game after 6 years of great service. All legit reasons.add to them and i apologise if i miss any.
twitt bloom lamb mcneil sibraa 2x bradshaws Taylor Roberts fruean barber Clarke perzyk piltz a murray that's 14 off the top of my head. we can complain that the best dont make themselves available but when u look at it from the players point of view, no real benefit or reward, having to play both Easter and queens birthday, clubs only 2 byes plus interleague. long tough season players will opt for a break. especially those who may go deep in the finals.
I will stand by my comment. The under 21s is a state side. There are two ganmain grong grong matong players in the side. GGGM is not in the NEAFL.na mate its a neafl eastern conference side. there is a senior and an under 21 side playing against the neafl north . it's not a state side

On the flip side of all of this you have a guy like Hayden Gleeson who missed a club game last week to give himself every chance to be right for today after suffering a bit of calf soreness.
However I do agree with you from a bye point of view, and having to play over the breaks. Obviously Howlong are not to concerned with overdoing it with 7-8 players in the side today

The NEAFL website specifically says the under 21s side is NSW ACT. Whether its the best 22 players NSWACT have to offer is another story but the side isn't NEAFL and rather NSW ACT.
don't know much about him but everyone is welcome to try to select a team they would pick. maybe more osborne players they seem to be flying. only 18 at talangatta interleague training too.. i predict a huge flogging
What happened ???
lots of key players missing from the team i selected.the tdfl on ballers were top quality players and had it all over hume. not having the lockhart players play hurt hume as they only had second rate midfielders playing. but in saying that, at least they played and tried thier best.. i think all players under 30 selected who did not play should not be allowed to play the next weekend.
I'm assuming that's what you were trying to say!
What a ridiculous argument! Why draw the line at 30 year olds, or at 26 years old as suggested in the BMM. As if being a certain age is ever a good enough reason for doing or not doing something.
My point of view on all interleague footy is this. If blokes don't wanna play, that's their choice. Some will want to go by the rule of playing the best footy they can for as long as they can - good on them. So pick your team from the best available. Even if that means the best 22 players in the comp don't wanna be apart of it, choose the next best 22 and treat them with the respect they deserve. I'd much prefer to have 22 blokes who wanna be apart of it then 22 blokes who are only playing because they've been forced to by the league.
While I'm going, let's not for a minute expect the players of today to have the same amount of passion or desire for interleague footy as the players of the 80's, 90's or 00's once had. Like it or not, things have changed. Lets stop trying to make it 'like it used to be' and move on.
Hit the nail on the head, Head.
After reading the posts of you blokes it might be time to give interleague a spell or maybe get rid of it all together.While I know you cannot enforce penalties for players not wanting to play it was a shame to see the side that ended up running out on the ground, I would argue with anyone who tried to deny that it was not very much a B grade side...some of those players are not even in their clubs best 6.If the best players cannot represent the league then piss it off.I'm assuming that's what you were trying to say!

Just wondering if anyone noticed the oversight in yesterday's Border Mail referring to Culcairn as the "Premier" ?
I'm not going to go into the obvious detail of Brett Godde being a massive one-eyed Lions supporter but surely this was a backhander to Jindera and their demise this season. Godde all but annointed Culcairn as last year's premier after they flogged howlong in round 16 last year only to be out in straight sets 4 weeks later at the hands of Jindera. Wouldn't mind getting the thoughts of those at the kennel as I suspect the heading would of raised a few eyebrows yesterday morning.
I think it's pretty obvious the dogs won't be participating in finals this year so you would think that they would stand up for themselves and for the title of "premier" that is rightfully theirs, regardless of where they currently sit this season.
whilst sitting back watching the yarra fev circus in the o&m it got me thinking that howlong and in particular Daniel bradshaw should be congratulated on the way they have conducted themselves in the media and in general. don't get me wrong i have as much respected hatred of howlong then anyone, but they should be congratulated for their professionalism. i guess that's the difference in maturity of the player more so the club.

The Bradshaws have played 3 games together. Darren done his elbow in round 3. Steve has missed the past 4 whilst Matt hass missed 4 as well. Daniel only missed the Osborne game.Can anyone tell me how many games the bradshaws have managed to play together this year?
