It’s a local football league. What an over reaction by the NFNL. Embarrassing.

I’m just scrolling through their content and it’s literally harmless. Would love to hear the leagues thoughts on this.
OK then slow deep breath and go.
This is a really disappointing development the guys and gal's at the northern footy show are genuinely trying to support and help teams/clubs/supporters in the NFNL.
So the best thing that the league can think of is sic the legal team onto them, when that had little to no effect because club/supports actually liked feeling like someone cared about more than just the bottom line the leagues only response is to basically outlaw them.
Anybody that HAD their rose coloured glasses on still and tried to beleive the league has the clubs best interests in mind surely can start to see reality.
NFNL prior, current and future policies have and always will be,
WE ARE THE BOSS just ask us
YOU WILL DO AS YOU ARE TOLD or be fined
DONT DARE MAKE US LOOK INCOMPETENT we don't the need help
END RANT sorry

Unfortunately you are 100% on the money
Have heard we could see some significant changes to the VFL and NFNL qualification rules

Will be interested to see how the NFNL can introduce fines with this rule.
Minimum 5 games with 2 after 30 June.

The NFNLare baning all VFL players from the league, unless they sign a particular release that incurs an additional fee made payable directly to the NFNL, in monthly instalments and franked quarterly, with a clause which states any player caught talking to anyone outside the NFNL about NFNL or non NFNL matters will be further sanctioned , with no avenue for appeal and all decisions of the NFNL final……
It’s what I heard anyhow….,based on recent events….

If they change the qualifying to 5 for VFL listed it needs to change for all players .

Should we not be encouraging the VFL players to play in the nfnl more often? They will simply go to another league. There are pros and cons on this. We seen many VFL players return for finals and help clubs win the flag that won't be there round 1 next season however their presence was great. What's fair?

Exactly it’s great for the league … even more so when the VFL player is a 1 pointer … playing for his junior club that assisted in their football journey from the outset . The 3 games qualifier has been a rule for years …. Not sure why all of a sudden it’s an issue . Obviously some clubs are blaming this as a reason for lack of success in 2024
It needs stricter qualify guidelines imo. Plenty of leagues have this already.
Absolutely spot on
Three games has always been the qualifier. Whether you’ve been injured, overseas or a pre 30th June recruit
Why would the rules be any different for a VFL player. Three games is three games
Why can’t senior players who’ve played 3 reserves games play in the reserves then?
Because that’s not the rule ….
Whys that a rule..

What's the other league's rules. You would think if it is governed by AFL Vic it should be the same? Maybe they are bringing it inline?

From an Ammo perspective.
A VFL player must play 8 games without any games being played after June 30 or play 5 games with 2 after 30 June. This shows commitment to the local competition.
Players missing GF for a VFL player who won’t be around the next year. Not great for club culture.
Outer east for example you can’t have played over 12 games
Vafa 5 games and 2 after June 30

NFNL rules for women playing VFLW are very strict, why is it different for the 2 comps?
5 with 2 after June 30 seems like a good compromise to me.

Don't mind 'updating' a guideline to ask players to have played more games than they currently do to qualify for finals.
3 seems pretty light on to me and that a player is obviously more committed to another club/competition than they are to the NFNL or their NFNL club - no matter if an ex-junior or not.
Increasing the number buy a few games won't destroy the NFNL, if anything it may see some play more games throughout the year and not just finals. Just thoughts.
