Sad situation considering their results this year werent all that bad when you really look into it.

L Mont 22 pts
L Hurst 4 pts
L North 29 pts
L Banyule 2 pts
L Macleod 19 pts
L Eltham 25 pts
L Greensborough 16 pts
L WPL 3 pts
L Eltham 10 pts

They beat hurst by 3pts, mont by 2 pts, beat banyule by 30. The only sides they did not trouble this season were heidelberg and north otherwise they were arguably in every single other game it was just the difference between their best and worse which hurt them. They weren't that bad.

Bit of an over reaction for mine. Their reserves forfeited one game. Other VAFA, EFNL, EDFL premier level teams all did as well.

I don't anyone's claiming they weren't a decent side this year. The issue is looking forward where is the next wave of talent coming from.?

Rumours doing the rounds
Davies from Bundoora to Greensborough
Sturgess to Mont
Greensborough on the verge of signing a good player and Mont got wind of it and did what Mont do and offered significant more to the bloke and signed him.

One game in 2024. Two games in 2023.

Opposition Clubs offered no compensation. Spoke to a mate at Heid and he said it was just a flat day with no bar or canteen sales due to nothing happening until 2pm, crap crowds and no interest.

Embarrassing. Close to a joke to be honest. Over reactions can happen but so can under reactions, if they cannot present detailed signings to show they will field teams it's not an overreaction is a management concern.

I get all that, but clubs from all top divisions had similar stories. Balwyn forfeited a 2s game not long ago.

The league won’t do anything. Any club can produce names claiming they are playing.

Maybe the league needs to set a bench mark. 2 forfeits and a bottom 2 finish they’ll be relegated.
