RDFL 2017 Season discussion

[Keston]

Must be more to it then ....

That's part of the puzzle that creates doubt is the lack of stability and answers to issues it doesn't happen at other clubs like diggers etc

2017 thread

 

[THESPYCRITIC]

So a new thread a new season cmon lads get the dirt out there is plenty out there

What dirt you got ??

 

[THESPYCRITIC]

I reckon one of the top 5 sides won't play finals in 2017

Really who's your tip to miss out

 

[Humphrey BB]

I reckon one of the top 5 sides won't play finals in 2017

Is that based on 1 of the top 5 sides losing players? or 1 of the sides that didn't make the finals in 2016 gaining players?

I mean when you think about it, if Sunbury had have played all legal players it would have played in the Finals anyway.

Have done some good recruiting by the looks, have Corso from Rupo, Burgess from Lions, Farmer ex Romsey and also Lob ex Romsey. May lose Ellard though who is apparently doing the summer with Werribee and Trimboli has joined Lions.

Lobb and farmer were mentioned the other night at broady. The club was fairly confident both will be heading to broadford

 

[hawkdown]

Would not think either would have gone broadford if not for the changes at broadford this year

 

[devilone]

What changes at broadford

 

[hawkdown]

What changes at broadford

Sorry next year

 

[THESPYCRITIC]

Sorry next year

What are the changes at Broadford you refer to Hawkdown

 

[rooboys20]

My top 5 for next year
Diggers
Rupo
Riddle
Wallan
Macedon

Broadford will be putrid - heaps leaving to go play Up in the central Murray league

It was no surprise towards the end of 2015 the lads never seen eye to eye with the coaching panel let's say lol

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Jorden Braddy (Rupertswood FC) has signed at East Sunbury.

 

[hawkdown]

Think you got your year wrong matE......
So where is broadford at any news seems very quite "
Lots of rumours that are growing legs the longer there is no answers ....

Correct 2015

Surely if they sign 2 more ex afl they will be the first to examined by the league. Going to be hard for them to stay under the $110 k as it is. Points wont be an issue with everyone dropping 1 that has stayed on from last season.

What if Diggers can find a job for these ex AFL players it wouldn't cost a lot in match payments to get them on board ?

 

[rightfoot_sloth]

But what if they have jobs.
If there found jobs will need to be above board super tax etc etc

True they may have jobs already but the club might have a network which gives them a better job. It makes sense to help players out. Especially when players from AFL can struggle to find meaningful work away from the bubble which is the AFL. All should be looking at these options to reduce their outgoings.

 

[blues12]

One will get $500 to sweep the home rooms the other will get $500 to sweep the Away rooms.

 

[Calder_Boy]

We will have room for these 2 boys within our cap and points. Players are now waiting at Bloomdale gate wanting to join so we can use the points system to scale payments inline with points for responsible list management. It eventually gets to a situation where 1 pointers are playing for the same cause.

 

[The_Traveler]

So why continue to recruit ex AFL players who you say would rather play for peanuts rather than a croissant say in the edfl or nfl etc why not start playing the kids as the under 18!program has seen diggers 18s play finals ..
Your point is just another way of saying what other clubs say we all didn't come down in the last shower .....

Does make you wander why they are playing rdfl when at the level they can play is still good footy. Play because you love the game as i did 20 years ago or just go through the motions and get an extra 30k in your bank to help your retirement. Higher leagues have a wider branch of better paying jobs, so if its a job they need thats where id be heading.

What so they get a job which pays them an additional $1200 for working at the game on any Saturday in winter, please? We all didn't come down in the last shower, these blokes aren't playing to get good jobs, it's all about the coin, that's all it is.
