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.
Travel and Injury playing a big part. Bundoora not flushed with numbers to start.
It’s a long year especially when your getting belted each week

Agreed - we have a MASSIVE amount not available this weekend across both Mens teams. Thankfully 'some' will return over the next couple of weeks.

Between injuries, sickness, ski trips and European holidays even the strongest clubs are putting out significantly reduced sides this time of year.
Definitely more noticeable than pre covid, but has always been an issue for clubs struggling.

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.

Your do realise Heidelberg are 20 points clear on top? They could have a percentage of 1 and still finish on top.
Talking about the reserves.

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.

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.

I’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.
Isn'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)

How many of their flag side played 40 games for their junior club. I'm told zero or one
That doesn't suggest a system designed to foster home grown junior development is working.....
