Country football dying a 'slow death' with thousand-dollar player payments blamed for killing the game

Regional clubs have proposed radical changes to save community football including banning player payments altogether or introducing a new player points system.

So, I take it that you can confirm otherwise?

Yep, a friend told me

Anyone at the Riddell v Macedon game? Very close.

Two predictable results in other games.

Wallan v Woodend close until about 5 minutes before halftime when Wallan opened up an 18 point lead which never looked like being surrendered.

Chris Stewart was brilliant and rucked all day working his butt off around the ground. Hard to believe he's in his late 30's. Bellino had his best game, but sadly Carlisle hurt his back.

Sidhom's mark and a great coast to coast goal by Woodend were two excellent moments in the game. Stevie Boyall played a half in the two's and looks ready to slot back in the top side soon.

Watched Riddell for consecutive weeks. They aren’t playing great football but have found a way to win last 2 games. Galea good today. But what’s happened to M Darby? Can’t get near it at the moment. They need him to fire to have any chance.

Woodend played with only 20 players?

Shouldn’t be able to happen

They played with 30/43 player points so what do you suggest happens if they only have 20 players

I was of the understanding that you could not field a team in senior football without the 21 or 22 players.

It was to ensure teams didn’t load up on high point players and then play short on the bench

 

[Iceman27]

They definitely played with 22.

Playhq listing only 20 players hence the question.

 

[MortlockWatcher]

If you try and do that in WA, it is a $500 fine per player shot and you lose the points if you win. I think in some leagues, it is considered a forfeit.

 

[Professor Pericles]

Wallan and Macedon played with max 43/43 player points this weekend too.

Played with 22, just need to get their playhq admin in order for the 22 players to appear on the list

The week prior against Diggers the names up didn't match those on the ground. Is it even 100% accurate? I would've thought the match day list might be more accurate without actually knowing for sure.

I dunno if you watched the same game as I did, he marked anything that went near Darby, his set shot needs a lot of work. Watch when finals come, will be very good

My video of the last two quarters from the Diggers Rest v Lancefield game from Saturday.

Big test for the grounds this weekend.

Big test for the grounds this weekend.

Still bloody raining not sure what other grounds are like but Boardman is pretty much a giant wet sponge. Not sure if training will go ahead tomorrow night. I'd say other grounds in the area will.be the same. It's about time councils start doing something about drainage for the ovals.

Should be pretty wet up in Macedon, and probably -1 or 2

Went and had a trot around at New Gisborne this arvo, Geez the facility is impressive. Obviously the surface still a bit iffy having not been down too long but the please looks great. All the rain it’s had the surface is great.
