With Lancefield about to go under they may need to look to other leagues as clubs drop off. Can anyone from Lancefield confirm a message sent out regarding them not having enough players to field 2 teams in 2011?

surely they would go into recess for a year in order to sort out the problems they are facing at the moment?
It would be disappointing to not have them running around in 2011.
That being said if they do pull out what would happen come finals time?? Are the league able to use their ground for finals??

So many questions that will need to be answered... If they are unable to field a side then they wouldn't be able to host the GF, may see us with the first GF where the jobs are tendered out to the clubs.

agree, but the league has in the past used Sunbury Lions ground as a finals venue when they weren't in the league (2001) - Riddell V Woodend.
 
All happy at Sunbury people. Super numbers on the track with no dramas at all to mention. We also would like to announce the signing of Bendigo Leauge star Dermott Smythe. Dermott a former Robinvale and Sunrasia Leauge young gun has joined the Kangaroos for season 2011. After finishing runner up and just beaten in Strathfieldsaye's B & F last season and going over to play for Nth Adelaide in the SANFL mid year Smythe brings Hardness,skill and great leadership to Sunburys already prime midfield.He also represented the BFL at interleague level the past 2 seasons he is know for his hard at it, fearless attack on the ball and will be a huge bonus for the Kangaroos in thier quest for a premiership in 2011.
 
As a past player of the RDFL it disappoints me that Lancefield is considering going into recess for a year.

Going to into recess seems to be the easy option ... Other clubs such as Centrals and Rockbank have encountered similar issues in years gone by but have always managed to get teams on the ground.

Saying this it is a very long time before Round one and they may get the numbers to get the necessary numbers to field teams.

Hopefully for the growing reputation of this competition they (Lancefield) can field sides in 2011.

It's still early days yet given that most clubs haven't hit the track yet and the lads are into their second week. They'll definitely get the players on board and have been getting a few at training.. they're U18s will be a force and the rest will develop well up.. keeping confident they'll get there!
 
Heard a rumour John Baker is heading to Numurkah with James House as assistant coach up there, $$ and accommadation on offer.......

With Helmers and Smythe added to and already more than fair midfield hopefully the Sunbury side can capitalise on their dominant ruck stocks. Another strong option up forward would make them genuine premiership contenders. What is the likely make up of their forward line for 2011, and are there any further recruits on the horizon ?

Smythe is handy, but a BFL star ?

I think not !

This Smythe fella has a fairly handy resume as Doona pointed out. What is your involvement with this player bearsboy? Do u know him or have you seen him play regularly?? I am anxiously awaiting the day that you have something positive to add to this forum. How would you compare your illustrious football career to this Smythe fellas career to date?
