Where did this come from? Your word or someone elses?, doesn't look like anything official has been posted yet just rumours.
A strong source from the club.

Got ya. Best of luck to them. If this doesn't pay off their future would be in doubt. If it does however and they get u19s to stick around they could flourish
The VAFA needs to do something because clubs are leaving 1 after another.
The alcohol rule is beyond laughable and should be changed instantly to give clubs a chance to actually grow their support.
They did the exact same thing last year, won the flag and yet still they remained in the bottom division!
Not sure about that. Only four or five from their 3s side had played 2s games during the year with the most two of them played was 2 games.
The surprising thing is it looks like they were dropped down from Div 2 to Div 3 mid year.
How does that happen and then end up with a percentage of 500?? I thought these things only happen to Xavs!!
Strange decisions are the norm at VAFA HQ it seems.
Perhaps lower division chubbies should make their Xavs games a forfeit in protest. Better than sending lambs to the inevitable slaughter. Can you imagine the squealing?
Some , very , very big lads in Mazond 2nds that looked very much like 3rds players . Hence the respective scores .
Was told 3rds get selection picks before 2nds .
Remarkable , a joke is the 3rds comp

We had the Old Xavs coach stand in our huddle. Way too serious.
Isn't Paul Conners coach? Or another coach of OX was standing in the huddle?
3rd's does need a complete overhaul.
I'm surprised there isn't a Xavs team in the Div 2 South, would have been a good match up for Old Mentone (Only team) and DLS.

If you really want a beer you can buy one at nearly every ground and enjoy it in the comforts of the rooms/function area.
Then I must have been dreaming when I have been purchasing alcohol on Saturday afternoons while watching various fixtures in different divisions throughout the season.
I hope you had a substantial meal
The whole policy is a laugh. Let clubs sell beers from 2pm onwards

You definitely can, I've been to 10+ clubs across division 3/2/1 and they sell it inside for inside only or within the rooms area. VAFA officials definitely turn a blind eye if they are around, lower divisions they never are
I'd say recent leavers ivanhoe and parades biggest problem was retaining players due to their northern location, with the NFNL so close by pinching their players/juniors with matchies, they are very successful and well run, wouldn't need to rely on alcohol money
Bulleen simply can't get enough numbers around the club and leave the same old blokes running around filling in the 2's (hence two 300+ point defeats this year) maybe a change of scenery might be able to entice juniors/u19s to stick around. I'll be interested to see how they would go in EFNL Div 4.
Sneaking a beer in the rooms against VAFA rules isn't attractive for prospective supporters.

Ive heard that they are off to Div 4 in Eastern, did hear that Yarra Cobras may go also
And yet other clubs in other comps are merging or dying because of having to pay players to play.
Then you have greatcrowds at games this year.
Williamstown, Old Ivanhoe regularly get great crowds at home. Fitzroy wherever they go.
Caulfield and Old hailey bury had a great crowd at Caulfield on Saturday.
Alcohol is only a minor concern.

I was out at Ormond on the weekend and they had a function on, drank a number of their beers - it was a great time in their rooms and the crowd was very welcoming to opposition fans. Plenty of people around for a good day of competitive games. Big fan of E.E Gunn, these local, community grounds are seriously the lifeblood of footy. The VAFA should be doing more to get people to these games. While I understand some of the minority arguing booze is not the way, a couple of beers while watching the footy is one of life's simple pleasures. More of that would be amazing.
Was a great day with the function for Russell Barnes late daughter and Maddis foundation and i noticed quite a few from Kew upstairs.
We are very lucky to have an upstairs function room which gives great views down the ground .
I'm really in favour if you have food on and an enclosed area to have a bar open
