Wonder why everyone is leaving? Anyone from North have any thoughts or reasons?

'The exec have the place running like a business'

this is why mass exit 'The exec have the place running like a business' to quote Dubai man aka their president, it is a football club with volunteers that are NOT paid however are treated like 'employees' and its seem they are happy to overpay for some players no need to name names, but not be realistic with others ie. Flo one of the best ruckmans in Div 1 easy

Probably cause they have been up 3/4 seasons with 2 years in Div 1 where they performed creditably but with no direct junior team players will move on after 2-3 years. If you look at the outs all going for higher dollars at lower level & with salary cap squeeze in Div 1 not much left in kitty for the player increase which by the way those transferring on player performance have been ok but not commanding a lift in pay.
Disappointing from a points perspective with club best 22 from 2019 probably in the mid 30s so will have start that process again.
Would the club like to keep all of them, of course as some have plenty of upside & door is always open for a return.
Maybe club will have a sizeable drop but on paper with remaining list, new recruits & some that will be announced soon not all doom.

Who are the new recruits that they will announce soon?

You seem to have a real gripe against the President, perhaps you did not get your way as a former dignitary of the club & when it was time for change you had no free lunch.
There is more to it than money with Florance, fact is was offered an increase based on performance which he agreed to in terms then out the door when big brother goes to Dimo - this source is not real.
Who are overpaid players ok - S.Biggs, B.Harvey (AFL) not much else in the elite bracket & the 4 sum figure I would think so get your facts right before having a crack at others which by the way there is a football department that makes many of these decisions.
Yes I am an ally of DM working on the committee & sometimes you have to make hard decisions for the longer term benefit of the club.

Why don't you join as an employee if you think you can add value.

I wouldn’t get to carried away. Not to hard to get your hands of a solid training program these days not to mention a lot comes down to what players are doing the 95% of time they aren’t at the club.
I wonder how much they are paying him? Or is he mates with someone at the Bulls

Not worthy of a response.

North Heidelberg’s best 22 in 2019 was 46/46 points. Not sure where you got mid 30s from. Losing 1 pointers is a massive strain on any club. But clubs can rebuild quickly. North Heidelberg won’t drop into relegation battle, so they will be fine.

Ok let me start the following players would be a one point reduction if the list remained as is - Harris, Hogan, Biggs, McGhie, B.Harvey, Baddeley-Kelly, Bailey, Fitzpatrick, Mapleson, Nunan, Dillon, C.Brown, McKay, M.Brown & Jaksic.
A total of 15 with 10/11 in best 22 with the others knocking on the door, there is your mid 30s figure.
Confirmed losses from that list 2 with a few possibly travelling.
