Travel and Injury playing a big part. Bundoora not flushed with numbers to start.Agree, there is many clubs short, are we seeing results of COVID with lack of numbers coming through?
However, with Bundoora I think they gave a walkover last year a few times. Feel for opposition to be honest, lads train all week and whilst they would have won by 200 points again they would want to play.

Who’s weAgreed - we have a MASSIVE amount not available this weekend across both Mens teams. Thankfully 'some' will return over the next couple of weeks.
sorry I'll head back down to Div 3Who’s we
No one will notice if the ressies forfeit tbfHearing Bundoora will forfeit their seconds for tomorrow’s match at Heidelberg, why wouldn’t they forfeit the U/19s play what ever amount of them in the seconds to make up the numbers . Not fielding a second side is a bad look, nobody would notice if their U/19s forfeit.
Yep, that’s what it is.Most clubs are able to dig deep with past players, mates etc to get a team on the park. Club culture plays a big part in that so perhaps it’s a sign of the culture at Bundoora.
That hits it on the head for me.Agree, there is many clubs short, are we seeing results of COVID with lack of numbers coming through?

Legally not even able to think it…Bad bad look for Div 1 . League should make them play reserves!!!
Your do realise Heidelberg are 20 points clear on top? They could have a percentage of 1 and still finish on top.I’m not one for conspiracy theories but perhaps they were always going to forfeit this round? And in doing so sabotage Heidelberg’s reserves %? Just a thought.

Ah yep my bad was looking at the wrong ladder. But there 2s are 40% better then second. They would have to lose there last 4 games by a hell of a lot to lose top spot.Talking about the reserves.
A former player who has done a massive amount of work as an assistant. Currently, coaching in the VAFA previously in EDFL should be someone who they should be reaching out to.Macleod on the hunt for new coach.
I’m surprised that Heidelberg are still running at 46 points.Wilson had a blinder again. Only makes the tigers seniors and reserves better if they can qualify him.
1 played yesterday from juniorsI’m surprised that Heidelberg are still running at 46 points.
How many of their current team came through their juniors?
Not important, but surprised they don’t have more homegrown talent given the size of their juniors.
How many of their flag side played 40 games for their junior club. I'm told zero or oneIsn't it ironic that the points system was introduced as an equilibrium measure and yet one could argue Heidelberg are as strong on and off the field as they have ever been. At some point you have to question the overall standard of the competition, I mean they did lose half their Premiership side, added perhaps 3 or 4 players and yet are more dominant this year (statistically) than any previous Heidelberg side in DVFL/NFL history. Dark times ahead me thinks (unless you follow H)
