$120,000 / 18 rounds = $6,667 per round
$6,667 per round / 22 players = $303 per player per week.
Hmmmm, that's some good list management
The reserves coach would be the happiest!

Mordi player jumping ship, real good character that one
Always find it interesting if he is contracted why mordi would let him go ??

Contracts mean nothing, hard to hold someone against their will,
Mitch brown was “contracted” for two years as well
Mitch brown was “contracted” for two years as well
Actually not hard at all if they’ve signed it - it would be very hard for them to get out of it.
Generally you would just let them go… but to a club you’re playing against? No way. You can sit the year out son.
On the topic of contracts
Rumour doing the rounds tonight a division 1 club has had a change of heart on a player at the 11th hour that was seeking a clearance to MPNFL that had bounced around for a month back and forth between the clubs and the leagues boards
Was a well known story on the Peninsula but relatively quiet here
Surprising contracts are not binding even though they are signed and agreed upon by both parties prior to the season beginning
Probably got sick of playing for such a terrible side?
The Berwick recruit looked sharp, kicked 4 in the magoos from the middle, will play senior footy.

So when times are tough you go and join a contender in the same league?
Shows the type of character by that action to be honest.

Geez the term " Mercenaries " is loosly used by some without any knowledge of the situation.
That was done via the trio putting in messages Saturday evening, signed Barnes sunday afternoon , negotiated the following players early Monday. Dingley all in to win it , pressure mounting on the coach by the cotirie group, so there is no excuse with an endless salary, Freeman availability was earlier than expected too but missed Saturday. A few uneasy weeks ahead for the home growns who are just at the level with the new acquisitions coming straight in, 2s Coach already planning the celebrations but senior coach has some tough conversations selling the reasoning and vision to the unlucky blokes making way at this time of year.
With what I witnessed Saturday in that senior game, these recruits will need to get firing asap. The gap was evident between the 2 and some of the Dingley boys looked not quite at the mark, bring on the back 12 weeks.
All ex-St Bedes at some point. Barnes skipper last year. All more than handy in their day. The ex-VFL skipper would have to be 37 now, the other one 32/33 and Barnes maybe 30/31. Clearly a short-term strategy. I seem to recall Morwood built a strong and successful culture based primarily on home grown talent, with the odd top up. Seems that model has been replaced. Maybe because the junior talent coming through is not what it was but when you adopt this strategy it can potentially go south very quickly.
Garside / Hellier.
Walmsley & Trent Dennis-Lane also not on the team sheet so will have to slot in as well.
Dingley 2s coach already at the costume shop organising his Mad Monday outfit
Wasn’t the coach the other day spruiking about how the confident they are to mix it ??
“We’re very confident we can mix it with the best. Sides have seen us at full tilt, it’s probably only been once or twice, but they know the power we possess.
Then they go and get these blokes.
Would hate to be a young fringe player who has done a bit of the work so far .
“Thanks mate but take a back seat now , set your alarm early for the rest of the year “
That is always good for club morale ..

The strength of the last 2 season of Dingley U/19s is evident of this in addition to a Dingley juniors with only 6 teams & gap back to U/15s (no U/16s & U/17s).

Heights losing Tapscott for the year makes a certainty now of being relegated
Agree and hard to judge without knowing all the circumstances. If you are doing a 5-6 hour round trip each week and don’t get paid then I think you would be well within your rights to leave and play closer to home. But leaving a battling club mid- season for a contender in the same division does, on face value, have a bit of smell to it.
