The point system can go down each year depending upon how many years a player has been at a club such as Gary Moorcroft who is only 1 point, there's no doubt Macleod is a very good club and I'd be curious to know how many of last weeks Team actually came up through Macleods juniors.

Macleod think their team is home grown but the reality is the blokes that will help them win the Premiership are 'imports' - Paynter, Hobbs, McKeown, Bianchin, Totino.
IMO Greensborough are the only club that can boast of having won a recent Premiership with predominantly home grown talent.

Not far off. Shane was runner up. Jess Tardio was 4th. Flynn third.
Kain Proctor 5th.
What a stupid statement. Macleod beat Greensborough for the 2015 flag with predominantly home grown talent.

Macleod have done an amazing job with their juniors, however, they will need to recruit from outside for the next 4-5 years as their juniors are struggling to field teams.
Fair call, you're right. Forgot McKeown and Totino weren't at Macleod that year.

I think the point is that Macleod retains these guys whether they are recruited or not. 27 points v 44 points tomorrow, just a little difference
Geary in his second season. The old man Richard as assistant is a pretty important cog as well. Very good football brain with plenty of playing (AFL and VFA/L) experience as well as coaching in the TAC system.

Greensborough do what best? Last time I looked it was a Macleod v Bundoora GF.
How many Boro Div 1premierships in the last 20 years? Due to their area they have a heap of kids come through the system.
Hasn't translated to a lot of senior success.
Langfords - his dad Brad was a Macleod Junior champion. Played for Fitzroy. I could be wrong but I think Jack, Joe and Kyle all played juniors at both Macleod and Banyule. Hardly imports

Collingwood Premiership player Brent McCaffer has signed with Eltham for the 2018 season
That's a big get for Eltham.

Should be serviceable but I'm not a big fan of mid range former AFL types without many party tricks, playing at burbs level. He's no Boomer

Hearing a couple of big retirements for both Diamo and Lower which they will need to cover in their recruiting in the off season.
Also heard that a couple of players from lower are wanting to play at diamo next year which has stirred up a bit of a shit storm with a few ex lower boys currently at diamo who have said if they sign them they will leave.

I know Cam Elmore from Lower has retired. Did his ACL late in the season so wouldn't have played next year, anyway. Have you got any names of the others/the guys causing dramas?
I'm not really in the loop, but couldn't think of anyone apart from Cam who would be in that retirement bracket. Perhaps 1 or 2 of the Heidelberg boys? Can't imagine anyone who would go to Diamo with recent history and events, but who knows. The season has barely finished.

Bit of talk on the Goulburn Valley thread that he will be up at Echuca with Andrew Walker. Banyule however seems more likely with the job at the Blues.
