Agree with the quality of the game. I see the bergs big concern this year being their depth. Their two's have only managed 24 goals in 6 games and there doesnt seem any quality players that can step up to the 1sts if needed. A few injuries like the weekend could see them struggle.

Gents - sorry to just drop in like this. I have a question about player contracts. Can clubs sign players onto standard agreements anytime during the pre season? Is there a date at which contracts can only be signed after?? e.g. Can a player sign with another club in mid September 2011 for the following season?

They will always be a threat while they have Big Mick Gay smashing the ball out of the ruck and giving the first use at every contest. Noticed Stinga getting a bit slow and even having to give some of the younger blokes a reminder of who he was. An ageing list at the Bergs, but a very hard one. Don't take your eye off them or they will bite you.
You are kidding.

I didn't know Northcote Park had any supporters?

I am not sure players contracts are overly legal binding. But I am sure a player can sign a 'contract' in mid Sep 2011 for the next season however I believe the clearance process does not commence until 01 Feb of the next year (so for Sep 11 this would be Feb 12). The cut-off for clearances for the season I believe is 1 Jun or 1 Jul? If that's is of any help.

Add Jackson & Symes after the past weekend.
With Rowan Williams, Stanton and Spence missing still. Adds a fair bit of depth when/if they return.

Thanks for your help Denny.
A mate was telling me on the weekend that an ammo player signed with an efl club in septemeber last year. He has not played a game with the club, hardly trained during pre season because of injury, owes them nothing and now wants to return to his original VAFA club. His clearance has been refused because he is contracted and the club is worried that it will set a precedence for other players within the club.
Stanton won't be back, playing for the slime
In their twos might i add.
To be fair to Stanton it was only 1 game in the reserves. You couldn't walk straight into the senior side at your new club in round four.
Any truth to the rumour the bergers made a big play for Shane Harvey upon his return to the kennel?
I have no idea about his circumstances but its a great show of loyalty by the bloke to play division 2 football when he could play anywhere he wanted for coin.
Hands down the best footballer in the NFL.

No big play, didn't get that far, just a quiet call from a relative.

At 33 you think Stinga would be slowing down yet he is still being tagged by supposedly the best side in the competition.
I think you will find that even though he has signed a contract,my understanding of it is as he hasn't played a game it would make the contract null and void and he should automatically be cleared back.Maybe the ammos run to different guidelines(They're wouldn't be a match fee on the contract though because they supposedly don't get paid in the ammos!!)
Looks like this story is gaining momentum:
AFL official Ali Fahour faces investigation after he was accused of an ugly incident in local footy crowd
The key witness in the Matt Rendell race row is under investigation for his alleged involvement in an ugly incident in a local football match on Saturday.
Ali Fahour, an AFL official, is alleged to have engaged in crowd violence in a Northern Football League game.
It follows an earlier incident involving Fahour playing for West Preston-Lakeside.
Fahour was present when sacked Adelaide Crows recruiter Rendell told AFL community engagement officer Jason Mifsud he would not draft indigenous footballers unless they had a white parent.
The AFL said it was aware of the NFL incident but declined to comment.
"The matter will be heard by the tribunal," a spokesman said.
Fahour, the AFL's multicultural manager, is alleged to have jumped the fence during Saturday's match against Northcote Park and struck a supporter.

A witness told the Herald Sun that Northcote Park supporters were racially vilifying Fahour after he tangled with opponent Jake Mills in the third quarter at Bill Lawry Oval.
Fahour won a free kick as Mills was yellow-carded for striking. He took his kick before charging over the fence and into the crowd.
About 50 people are alleged to have brawled before an umpire instructed Fahour to return to the field and handed him a yellow card.
NFL chief executive Jeremy Bourke said the league's investigating officer was set to conduct interviews on Tuesday night and Fahour was likely to face the tribunal on Tuesday.
West Preston-Lakeside president Graham Mills said Fahour had not yet been charged.
Fahour was cleared of a misconduct charge in round one.

So you were in two places at once? Before you throw some crap out on here, think about it.
Ali should've been red carded, you can't run off the field and confront supporters. Umpires got that wrong, no surprise there.
Here is a statement released by the NFL

I see your tongue is planted firmly in your cheek.
On your second comment I agree, however I like the odd verbal exchange some supporters come up with, some are funny, however when it gets racial/overly personnel etc you would hope their mates around them pull them up.
This sort of incident should not have happened, it does surprise me that NP supporters are bing accused of racial comments, they are a very proud multi-cultural club and I am sure would not stand for that kind of supporters comments.
Mate OTP does it all for a laugh and never racially vilifys. He does get on the nerve of opposition players but its their fault for getting sucked in.
Just throwing a question out there. To anyone involved at any of the clubs that have players come back from VFL clubs when available. Does this have any negative effect on players who train at the club being dropped to fit them back in for 1 game. Realy just curious how it works with some clubs doing it and others chosing not to.

Is it true that Kayne Pettifer gets match payments even when he doesn't play?
