It seems to me that there are quite a few people in the hampden league that want to see the WBFL fall over

sorry guys but im gunna throw my thoughts in and just remember its just my opinion so please no personal attacks,,, i totally dis agree that populaion equalus success... in kntfl the two top teams lucindale and mundulla are the most successful...... both tiny towns... i think some small towns,,eg millicent, casterton and heywood think they dont have the talent there and get excited by the money they have and go and buy players.... casterton every year have 5 or so recruits that dont stick around..... spend 3 to 5 years paying locals to play and keep them around..... ALSO i have watched both leagues and i think KNTFL is better than WBFL..jusy my opinion guys.....

Most of the people on here would be Blokes i reckon not guys which is a city homo word. No attack just my opinion
In my opinion, I think small towns dont get excited by the money they have because they have bugger all! They have to look elsewhere as the numbers dont get bigger they get smaller because of zero employment which is going to get worse
Casterton have to spend on recruits simply because they dont have the players in town.
What would you have them do, sit on their hands and dwindle away to nothing
I do agree with you a certain degree bb....but i also swing w ackers a bit in that casterton have too do it (spend a little green on recruitment) and do it a lot better then what heywood have over the journey.
Millicent don't do it as much as you would think, and when they do do it it's not in the same ball park figure of what the cats or lions do so.

Millicent dont spend money on players?? Why not
well South are in good form - just had a big win!!!
I'm not saying they don't...all i'm saying is they don't spend as much as what Heywood, Casterton would on bringing in players.

Hampden FL - Koroit 1500 people, camperdown 3000 vs. warrnambool 30000 people. Both clubs have had a reasonably amount of success I believe

yeh theres obviously going to be exceptions due to circumstances (cash being the main thing)
im talking long term. millicent had a good year last year but theyve only played in 3 finals series in the last 15 years. heywood maybe 1 at best and casterton maybe 3 or 4.
things not looking good for local employment in the area with the sale of the forests. worrying times for all footy leagues and towns
also think that mundulla is a unique situation. they are 90% reliant on farming so they arent going to lose their players for employment. theyve obviously had a good batch of farmers all play together for the last 10 years. gotta hand it to them though, theyve obviously been very loyal

stop worrying about it all, what happens, happens.
lets talk about this round
north to old and slow in their lost to west
south still have enough talent to cause head aches
heywood struggling
millicent finally cracked a win
hamilton money starting to pay dividends?

No offence but I don't think Koroit is a valid comparison, it's ten minutes from Warrnambool and probably 50% of their players live in Warrnambool and the % that work there would be higher. Camperdown is much more valid but being on the Eastern end of the comp they have been able to get guys from the Geelong and more recently Colac area as well as having a few feeder teams to their North and South.

If North were going to win it it had to be this year. It will not happen. Retirements at the end of the year will make sure its another 20 years before the yellow bellies win a flag.
South look like a better outfit than last season. The ones that wanted to play for the jumper have stuck around and are bonding into a slick unit. Quality mix of youth and experience.
Heywood, have to feel sorry for them. Tried something new last year and it didn't work. They had to do something.
Millicent, who cares.
Hamilton, haven't beaten any quality opposition yet, lets wait and see.
Went to watch the night game between south and east south looked very good did not give east a sniff all night. South should figure strongly again this year. East just dont have it it will be a long time before they will do any damage in the finals race there is something about east that is just too mediocre whether it is the players or the coaches or both it is hard to tell but nowhere near it at the moment.

Sounds like you's have all missed me, I can't go on a holiday without you's asking of my whereabouts.. Now to footy
Sounds like South are gelling well togther with there kids and mix of experience. Will be interesting how they shape up againts Portland and West, sounds like they deserved to beat north and played better footy.
Think the 5 is shaping up the way most predicted, with South maybe surprising a few and not dropping as much as most expected, but it is still early in the year, and you cant really judge too much till everyone has meet each other once.

As I said Rig correct me if I am wrong, but you also need to do your homework. I was not the one with the soup comments, that was Snitzel man. Now go finish your chicken soup, its getting cold!!!
Between Rig, Snitz man and Freak, all you do is bitch bout each other like you know who they are. Couple interesting games this week which could sort the ladder part out and we will get a better indication to the top 5. South and Hamilton, after Souths big win over east, think south will do this comfortably espescially at BLSP. North and East the other game, North wouldnt wanna drop it, but wouldnt surprise me if east come out hard and running after a dissapointing loss to the demons.

Top 5 most played players in league from the snitzel man.
1.Mconnel(north) lots of coin for a bloke gracing the wide wings.
2.Fiora(hamilton) have not seen his name in the best yet.
3.Vassal(cats) good operator would be worth what he is getting
4.England(tigers) best player in the league by a mile.
5.The rig(west) gets paid in soup and canteen items.Which would tally a fair bit by the years end.A know it all operator that only west would have on board.
