St Albans appointment of there reserves coach is a great move. Very popular figure with a good win/loss record. Hearing a few players following him across as well which will improve St Albans overall.

Be interesting….. do you think McDonald leaving Altona is a sign of more to come? Looking forward to seeing who adds who to their lists!

Deer Park losing more one point players next season is a bit of a worry for them……how do they replace these premiership players?

They don't.. I gather it's why they're bleating about their points reduction.

Why would they have less points now?

I don’t care about them but it seems totally unfair to be penalised three years after a flag with all those players no longer there and covid the last two years proving players are dropping off

after how many flags in a row. Of course they should get a points reduction

 

[Over The Post]

or introduce a salary cap

System is based over past three years ….they have an argument accordingly …can’t include sauces prior to pints and salary cap moneybags paid for them

With no grand finals played since 2019 and All players losing a point each year since, it’s a fair system in my opinion

Who have they lost?

 

[ROOS77]

Who have they lost?

[puddsie]

Who have they lost?

Van Reit has been welcomed as a new recruit at East Keilor.

 

[Marnie12]

Why couldn't they over the time they won all of those flags set up junior system to rival keilors? They could have had fev, Bulleen and co coaching junior teams, they only have themselves to blame, they were more worried about instant success and ways around the salary cap then setting the club up for life, I'm not sure anyone has any sympathy for them, if quamby and Lalbert in the Mallee can get junior sides without a primary school so can deer Park

It's not as simple as that though. The area has something like 10 or 11 clubs within a 20 minute drive, where the majority of the people living in the area not of football backgrounds. Of those clubs, only Caroline Springs (relatively established estate) and Yarraville (cool to live there) have any sort of "successful" junior programs. Fact is there are too many teams, not enough kids or money in the area.

Killing clubs off is never a good thing though. I see your point but who likes seeing clubs fold?

It's a pretty big growth area not far from deer Park, caro and cairnlea, maybe they should have invested in a junior club being a feeder club to their senior side, not all junior clubs go all the way to seniors, how many kids would have played if Fev was a coach?

Caroline Springs have monopolised their market and anyone in the estate or surrounds not playing there is probably not interested in Australian footy and Cairnlea has a high percentage of migrant population which will take at least a generation to get them interested.

They've done themselves no favours, but they would still only have the beginning of a sustainable junior program. There just isn't enough interest from the locals in the area.

It comes down to what is best for the many in my opinion. I'd hate to make the decision, but I think it inevitable in some cases and would suggest mergers before dying altogether.
