NFL Div 1 2018

Your right.......you are biased. Not even close. If you asked clubs if they could pick any 5 players in the comp for their club i doubt anyone would have him in their picks.

I can’t even begin to even explain how much I disagree with the fact you’ve just tried to claim he’s not even in the top 5 players in the comp, wait until someone in his forward line kicks more than 30 goals and try to tell me who you’d rather than him

6 Players from Port Melbourne en route to Warringal Park, including 3 premiership players from last year.

So is the rest of there team worth 1 point or are they going to play with 15 players every week? And yes Jack Grimes is a very good player. But I’m thinking every team in the comp would take the big fella from Bundoora over him.

Cameron Cloke would be my first pick every day of the week

4 or 5 years ago I would have agreed 100%. Not now though. But we will see

Liam goes well, although I doubt he will play many games. Coburg have been very reluctant to let their players play on byes in recent history

New coach at Coburg so might see a change in allowing players to fall back to local if they wanted to. I guess always a risk of injury or the player needing a rest..

Couldnt name 10. There’s a lot of great players, Hobbs, Donaldson, close, starsevich, Dennis, younan, grabowski, the Cloke and Harvey brothers this year. I’m sure there’s a lot more. Just saying I’d have Dennis over Cloke that’s all

Serves themselves right for paying 190 odd thousand to compete in div 2.
I've said since day one, only foolproof way to ensure level playing field is to lower the points. Should be closer to 30 than 40. Even allowing for no vfl development leauge, 47 far too many IMO. After 3 years of implementation no reason you can not achieve 15 one pointers, 5 two pointers and still have the scope to recruit some top end talent (35 point limit). Then you can let clubs pay whatever they feel the players deserve. If "club A" have the required funds and their members are supportive of paying their loyal players reasonable coin good luck to them.

How did they track points wise last season. Did they recruit heavily hence over payments.. Interesting read..
Tough work for volunteers managing this new system..

I suppose the easy way around it would be when you announce a big name signing on just claim they are paying for free, for the love of the club or "just want to play with my brother", that should hold off the pesky league while you pay cash under the table.
Not that i can think of anyone who would try this.....

 

[Rusted nuts]

Bergers entered clearance for a few blokes from county leagues. Anybody know anything about them?

Are you just assuming no AFL player would play for free? or you have heard something?

To be fair he will be paid by the bulldogs this year so i dont find it that crazy he is helping out his new community.

I may be wrong here but I think he is referring to the Cloke bros.

Yep, 10571z was talking about Trav Cloke. Will be paid by the Bulldogs as still had a year of his contract remaining.

Yeah gotcha that's a brain fart from my end.

Didn’t he retire? I thought once you retire, you make the contract null and void.

 

[Darkyprotector]

He will make more money
Long term view staying in community and contributing means imo they will reward over time
Business interests require goodwill
Example Kyle Martin plumber at noble park

Mutual agreement was reached

I have heard that Cam Cloke has a third party payment arrangement. Can anyone from Hurstbridge confirm or deny this. No doubt you’d deny this publicly, but my mail is strong.

All agreements have to be declared, I don't rate your chances someone from
Hurstbridge is going to come on and say "yeah his building the president a 2x2m deck for 50k

What sort of 3rd party agreement. You say you’ve got strong mail, can you be any more specific?

I’m led to believe that a former player who struck it Rich in the tech world is re paying the faith to Hurstbridge by helping out $$.
